This song saved my life back in the ‘90s. I was in a very bad place after my wife left me. A friend gave me a cassette tape with this song and I wore it out. I wrote to Lari telling her how much this song meant to me and how she saved me. I got a wonderful response from her that I treasure to this day. Lari will always be in my heart ❤.
I'm glad it helped you. I went through a similar thing when I left my wife. It was something that had to be done, but when I'd hear this song, I'd lie in bed and worry so much about her and wondered if she was doing ok without me. The guilt almost killed me. Turns out she did just fine, and I was happy for her.
I lost my love. I will never be the same. I know this song is about someone leaving you. But, when my husband was dying. I thought, how could I live without him.
Sad she pass away,,,great singer,always listen to her Music,,and I'm 55 years old,,, cancer is a bad thing I lost my husband a year and 4 months ago due to cancer and we didn't even know we had it he was a police officer for 37 years we've been together for 30 years just waiting for the day I can be with him
I agree with you 100%. Quite a few of my favorite country singers started recording in the 90's-Travis Tritt, Alan Jackson, Martina McBride, Trisha Yearwood, Shania Twain, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, etc.
Too bad people didn’t feel that way in the 90’s. I’ve been on Country radio since 1994 and I remember how Country ratings were in the dumper in the 90’s. Traditionalists were complaining that it wasn’t as Country as the 70s into mid 80’s. Funny thing how we never seem to figure out what we love until we lose it. I watched Toby Keith on the People’s Choice the other night sing his heart out in what really has become an autobiographical song that he had written years ago for a Clint Eastwood movie. Toby has been disrespected by award shows for years. Now he’s tragically fighting for his life battling stomach cancer and people are now paying attention. I guess that’s better than waiting till he’s a memory like so often happens. Just my two cents.
It was a good era all the way around, but yes, most definitely a great time for Country -- Brooks N Dunn were out, Alan Jackson, George Strait --- magical era
She was a beautiful woman, her eyes looked a lot like one of my Granddaughters and a beautiful voice , especially for this song!! She certainly didn’t look 52 years old at the time of her death!! Gone so soon!!
I use to wonder if I could walk away from people who didn't understand me. Certainly didn't celebrate me. I walked away from family and now I know. I'm strong enough to be alone. And,I'm doing okay. Cause God has me!!!!!
I honestly never have seen anymore naturally beautiful of a woman among Country Music singers or anywhere. Maybe Kelly Willis. But I put Lari White in the same category as Shania Twain. Others will disagree I'm sure, but I don't care. Loved Shania, but I always preferred Lari. She was the one that held my heart. I was so crazy mad in Love with her! She deserved so much better from the industry then she ever received. She was very special. I want her to be rediscovered so very badly.
Actually, did reach Number 1 on the Gavin report. Number 2 on Radio and Records. She should have had many Number 1's. She was never a favorite of the idiot radio programmers, nor were many of my other favorites. Really ticked me off. Used to refer to Lari as the "Queen of Light Rotation". Her and Kelly Willis. Talk about people not knowing great talent. @@jasonstory7318
Rest in peace Great vocalist.Condolences to family members friends and fans.Truly missed.sincerly Debbie Betty's daughter Denise's sister from the Boggie Down
It's been a year since this lovely singer left us, yet her music still lives on. Still, my deepest condolences are with her family and friends. Cancer sucks.
This was my anthem when I was going through my divorce. I heard the song on the radio on my way to work, and had to pull over to listen to it. It seemed like she was singing directly into my heart. Thank you, Lari, for giving me strength through your music. Miss you.
Had to find out who this gorgeous lady was after watching Tom Hanks' Cast Away movie. Had no idea she was an amazing singer as well. What a tragic loss to the world of acting, singing and all who admired her. RIP Lari, you true angel XXXXXXX
I loved her voice and thought she was beautiful and had beautiful eyes. I wondered why she had not recorded any more songs and I googled her and found out she had passed away, my condolences to her family, we all lost a great talent.
Lari White was my favorite female country artist in the 90's and she never got the airplay or recognition she so justly deserved. In my opinion, she should have and even could have been as big as Shania Twain or at least Faith Hill. She was far better vocally then either of them. I loved Shania don't get me wrong, still do. But as time went on, I started to resent her and Faith Hill's level of success as Lari and before that Holly Dunn kept getting jilted by Country Radio. Two of the finest voices ever and great song writers, now both are gone and largely forgotten. Very few people among the younger generation know who they were. I desperately want to see them rediscovered and reevaluated for the tremendous talent that they had. Kelly Willis is another. She should honestly have been the Taylor Swift of the 90's.
Her song Now I know helped me get through a very nasty divorce. It helped me find myself. That is my all time favorite song. Love her music and voice. So sad to read Heaven gained a Angel.
I got to watch her at a a house concert a few years ago. She did a real slow deliberate version of this with just a piano. I was spellbound. She was very nice. No pretentions. I wish she was still with us. God rest her soul.
@@aaronhusar24 2020 cost a lot… Country Music lost Hal Ketchum, Doug Supernaw, Joe Diffie, KT Oslin, Kenny Rogers, John Prine, Eddie Van Halen…. Just to name a few…. 2020 sucked from hell…. JS….
My wife and I just watched Tom Hank’s Castaway today for the 3rd time and always wondered who played Bettina. After 20 years, I decided to look up the character named Bettina at the crossroads. The cool lady was Lari White. R.I.P.
My autistic adult son came up to me a few days after Lari died and said “Poor Lari White.” My heart sank. I knew that meant she was gone. I looked her up to confirm it and burst into tears. Always loved her. RIP, Lari!! 😥💕💕💕
Farewell Lari... Still saddened by your passing. Thank you for writing me, and sending pictures. You are always the best fan-driven artist. Always sweet. Miss you dearly. This was our first song....
"Wishes" was a certified Gol selling Album, but there was more than enough truly great songs on there for it to have easily went platinum. They only released 3 singles, all top 10's. All of her Albums were more than good enough to have gone Platinum. Both Don't Fence Me In" and Steppin' Stone CD's were so brilliant. Neither got much promotion or exposure. They were very poorly marketed and promoted with a poor choice of singles and lack of videos. They really missed the boat on songs time and again that could have been signature's and blockbusters. She could have been and should have been so much bigger than she was. Never was a favorite of the clueless Music directors who stuck her in light rotation for weeks on end. That's assuming that the station actually added the song to the playlist in the first place. How the title track of Steppin' Stone stalled at 15 on Billboard in '98 is beyond me. Every DJ I spoke with assured me it would make at least Top 5. It needed a video for one thing, but also radio programmers who weren't bought off to push certain songs and artists and bury others. That clearly happened all the time to allot of would-be Superstars.
So happy to find this song again. I loved it so much back in the day. Really spoke to me at a time when I was going through a breakup. So sad she had such an early departure. Thank You For The Music. May she rest in peace.
I'm doing alright, strong enough to make it on my own. Learning how to face it alone. Learning how to let go but I'll never will....
Really liked this song. The 90s was such a great era for Country. Thanks Lori
I saw her and George Strait one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. Mid 90s.
I saw them together in Orlando. Great show!
I loved her music. ❤

My God she was beautiful!!!!!!
A gift from God for all to hear. She is with Father! What a special talent!
Why cant we just bring back the 90'S??? Without a doubt the best era of country music ever! Best artists, best songs, best memories!!!
I agree with you 100%. Quite a few of my favorite country singers started recording in the 90's-Travis Tritt, Alan Jackson, Martina McBride, Trisha Yearwood, Shania Twain, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, etc.

Reminds me od when dad died
I was born in the 90s so I have to agree. Garth Brooks was the king but everyone was massively talented.
It was a good era all the way around, but yes, most definitely a great time for Country -- Brooks N Dunn were out, Alan Jackson, George Strait --- magical era
She was so beautiful
Yes she was
Very BEAUTIFUL
She was a beautiful woman, her eyes looked a lot like one of my Granddaughters and a beautiful voice , especially for this song!!
She certainly didn’t look 52 years old at the time of her death!!
Gone so soon!!
The best!
So so fu.king sad for her and her family. Remember buying her CD. RIP Lari xxx
Rest in peace Ms. Lari White...
She was so good!
Such a voice gone too soon.
A beautiful woman
Beautiful lady with a great voice..
Lari will always be one of my top favorite female vocalists. Forever on my playlists. RIP Lari, your music lives on and you are missed.
Been a fan of Lari’s since ‘Lead Me Not’. Love her voice. Such a beautiful lady taken from us way too soon. R.I.P.

All I have to say is. "THANK YOU". Seriously💓💓💓
May Lari White Forever Rest Easy and in Peace*************
One of the best female vocalists ever.
I've always loved Lari White's music 🎶
Especially the duet with Travis Tritt. Lari is singing with the angels now. Bless her family and friends.
I use to wonder if I could walk away from people who didn't understand me. Certainly didn't celebrate me. I walked away from family and now I know. I'm strong enough to be alone. And,I'm doing okay. Cause God has me!!!!!
i am glad i got to meet her back in 1993. she was, and now is a true ANGEL.
That’s the year I was born in
My favorite part of the movie Castaways was seeing Lari White at the end.
First time I ever listen to her what a beautiful voice she has like everyone says gone way too soon it's a beautiful lady
A flawless performance of one of the greatest C&W songs of all time.
She left this world way too soon. She's singing in heaven to packed arenas and to God himself. I'm sure of it.
I love her
Love this version. It's the one I remember. Now that I lost my only love (after 36 years), I can relate to this.
She was so beautiful. Rest in peace Lari..

She's a lost angel.
What a shame. God be with her. She is and will be missed
Absolutely A Beautiful🌹Voice And Music Is At Point💓🧚♀️(RIP)🧚♂️🙏
Lari is beautiful and is outstanding in every way! I wish I could hear more songs with Lari performing.Outstanding singer of heartfelt songs.
This was my anthem when I was going through my divorce. I heard the song on the radio on my way to work, and had to pull over to listen to it. It seemed like she was singing directly into my heart. Thank you, Lari, for giving me strength through your music. Miss you.
Same…it was my Divorce anthem also many years ago had to see her in concert for this one song she was such a beautiful soul
Had to find out who this gorgeous lady was after watching Tom Hanks' Cast Away movie. Had no idea she was an amazing singer as well. What a tragic loss to the world of acting, singing and all who admired her. RIP Lari, you true angel XXXXXXX
spot on, exactly the same here. such a fine talent, RIP Lari thanks for being so generous you are a super star.
Awesome voice
I loved her voice and thought she was beautiful and had beautiful eyes. I wondered why she had not recorded any more songs and I googled her and found out she had passed away, my condolences to her family, we all lost a great talent.
How ironic the angel wings from the movie cast away now tie into Lari. Rip

A beautiful singer. I m so sad that she died so young.
Her song Now I know helped me get through a very nasty divorce. It helped me find myself. That is my all time favorite song. Love her music and voice. So sad to read Heaven gained a Angel.

God rest her soul.
just saw her in the cast away movie. RIP lari white ❤
Still can’t believe it’s been 2 years already since Lari passed away..... Just not fair that such a gorgeous voice was taken far too soon.....
Yeah 2018 robbed us of two great voices as we also lost Dolores O'riordan both of these talented ladies did justice to their respectice genres.

Beautiful singer
RIP Lari, you carry to Heaven such a great voice to be heard !!!
I didn't know She was a singer before we lost Her, better late than never I guess. She's wonderful, beautiful eyes.
What did you think she was?
One of my grandma's favorite songs, we had a VHS tape of her trying to get my brother to sing it, may she rest in peace now 😭
My wife and I just watched Tom Hank’s Castaway today for the 3rd time and always wondered who played Bettina. After 20 years, I decided to look up the character named Bettina at the crossroads. The cool lady was Lari White. R.I.P.
I just did the exact same thing tonight
I just did the same thing last night. What a loss.
And the package was a solar powered cellphone.
Just finished the same movie and here I am. RIP Lari
My wife and I saw that too Vito!!!! Jennifer was like “how many character actors and actresses can you spot???”
My autistic adult son came up to me a few days after Lari died and said “Poor Lari White.” My heart sank. I knew that meant she was gone. I looked her up to confirm it and burst into tears. Always loved her. RIP, Lari!! 😥💕💕💕
I have autism myself and I love her music as well this is one of my favorite song s I am 29 years old and I love country music

Farewell Lari... Still saddened by your passing. Thank you for writing me, and sending pictures. You are always the best fan-driven artist. Always sweet. Miss you dearly. This was our first song....
Lari had a voice that will stand the test of time. Her eyes are pationant and loving.
I sure do miss this lady.
Love her singing and this song so much
Beautiiful voice. Powerful song.
Helping me get over you was my favorite song of hers, co-written with Travis Tritt. Rest in peace Lari
With all my heart, I wish I could have taken her place. She makes me cry, and men are not supposed to.
Love this song poor lari white and angel.now

Isn't she just so beautiful, I could look at her for ever.
I just heard this song tonight & I ❤ it!
Lovely person
Reliving my mix CD, Gorgeous Women of Country, from the '80s and '90s. Lari was and always will remain a beautiful and talented woman.
She was one hell of a talent and easy on the eyes, too.
Love her singing
