Y'all know Nashville turned DMac away? And he came back from throat cancer and started his own record company, publishing company, and built his own recording studio. I've seen him live 14 times...I can't get enough Delbert.
My husband lead me to a fan of Delbert. We listened to this song so many times and so many other songs of his. I wish I could listen to this song again with my husband, just one more time.
Thanks🙏🙏 so much for your love ❤️and support from onset, it's a thing of joy that am blessed with the best fans, thank you so much, I do appreciate you and everyone out there
PhotoTrekr, Saddly you are right. As a dj for 40 years, I can tell you most people like what the radio (media) tells them to like. # he shudabenasuperstar !!
@@rickeypoppell3456 i disagree, i think he never got the exposure he needed. i went to a show in buffalo where he was the opening act. he was the best part of the show and i had never heard of him. i was hooked. then i heard him do dreams to remember and i wanted a copy of the song, it took me two weeks to find the damn record and it took me two weeks to get it and it cost 22 bucks ( worth ever dime). in order to be appreciated you have get some exposure.
I used to run with Delbert back in the 80s and 90s in Ft. Worth. He was a fine gentleman while having just enough devil in him to make our shenanigans fun!
My wife nd I have been together for over 50 years and have always said we were here because we were put together and it was only a loan from God. We both know one day the loan will have to be paid back and this song express our feelings and we will really never be apart.
How blessed the two of you are. You are God's example to many of us who have failed to nurture the kind of love you and your wife share. A blessing indeed.
It's tragic to me how amazing he has been his entire career and never truly got the recognition he deserves. From Delbert and Glen in the early 70's to amazing performances like this, he has so much wonderful music.
Damn, I've heard a bunch of versions of this song .. but none better. The resonance and texture of the vocals and the stripped down accompaniment so suits this song. Way to go Delbert!!
Yes, brilliant! I recorded two versions of this master-piece, here is one of them: th-cam.com/video/JeAELV-frmw/w-d-xo.html I'm also have the BT made of this stripped down studio version. I should have it recorded by mid next year some-time.
I saw someone again today Who remembered me and you They asked all the same old questions I gave the same excuse They said what a shame, what a shame To lose a love so fine But I never lost you, I never lost you I never lost you, you were never mine I kept on believing What I wanted to believe The unspoken promises That you could never keep But it's a sin, oh it's a sin To tell yourself a lie I never lost you, I never lost you I never lost you, you were never mine Did you give me all you gave me Just because I needed you But when I needed all your love completely Was it more than you could do Sometimes deep in the night When I hold you in my dreams I get lost in your loving touch, baby I can't believe how real it seems And I know, yes I know I'll have you 'till the end of time 'Cause I never lost you, I never lost you I never lost you 'cause you were never mine I never lost you, I never really lost you How could I lose you, you were never mine
I love this song but I feel his pain it's so sad to see someone hurting I know I've had my fair share of it Delbert u got this love is like war easy to begin and hard. to end
As a Ft Worth girl ...proud to have an interview with him in my first oral history on Texas Songwriters. 2001. UT PRESS. TELLING STORIES, WRITING SONGS: AN ALBUM OF Texas Songwriters. Always love this music!
Went to High School with Delbert. He had a band and played at a bar in Ft Worth. He has been great for over 50 years. Written a lot of songs that others made famous. He is a classic
Wow… I love you Delbert! You’re the only man I’d ever go to a real HonkyTonk 4:15 with chandeliers and sawdust on the floors. Great Memories in Memphis.. the honky Tonk is closed now- but memories remain
Mine too! But just we have blessed by finding him. I am a Hugh fan of Bonnie Raitt, from WAY back (before Nick of Time) and that's how I found him! Have you ever heard od Paul Thorn? Another wonderful and underrated musician! If u haven't do yourself a favor and check him out! He will either make you laugh or cry and sometimes both! God Bless!!
I've live this song right down to the divorce. May never be another like her, and to me, that may be ok. i invested a lot in that relationship, all of my heart. At the time i thought she was made of gold. In retrospect she was never mine. I remember dancing in the living room and both she and i knowing. With wet eyes, thank you, Delbert.

I'd like to see him one time and I would be happy, lucky you 👍

I love Delbert
Wow I didn't know that.
My husband lead me to a fan of Delbert. We listened to this song so many times and so many other songs of his. I wish I could listen to this song again with my husband, just one more time.
How sad. I wish you could, too.
Music and sadness doesn't get more intense than this .... Delbert is one of the best.

Killer
Delbert just speaks for all who have lost a love.
Always thought Delbert never got the credit he was due. Great artist.
That's because most people don't recognize truly good music, just simple crap. That's why most of the money is in "commercial" music.
U are so right seen him live he's a true legend gifted!!@
PhotoTrekr, Saddly you are right. As a dj for 40 years, I can tell you most people like what the radio (media) tells them to like. # he shudabenasuperstar !!
He is truly and greatly appreciated by the people in the music business. He would be by the public if they had been exposed to his music!
@@rickeypoppell3456 i disagree, i think he never got the exposure he needed. i went to a show in buffalo where he was the opening act. he was the best part of the show and i had never heard of him. i was hooked. then i heard him do dreams to remember and i wanted a copy of the song, it took me two weeks to find the damn record and it took me two weeks to get it and it cost 22 bucks ( worth ever dime). in order to be appreciated you have get some exposure.

I always said if you can't feel this man's music inside your soul, then you just will never know music
Absolutely
Then, you have no soul....
I have loved him and his voice &Music for so long. I have seen him in person and I have wore out every Album he has ever done. Amazing talent
Ditto......love me some Delbert......
I lost my wife 10 years ago today to mental illness and this soulful version of this song captures my sorrow.
dear man, i pray she has found the peace she was needing & looking for.
I am truly sorry for her pain, and your loss.
🙏🙏🙏✌️
He's not singing it , he's "living" it...!
Chris. Vervloet yes he is
Chris. Vervloet. .
. . . Aren't we all !
And they call it the blues. Delbert puts real life into his songs.
man... somehow I know..... Delbert lived that song. I lived it too.. Thank you DM!! True music at it's finest.
I am right now
OMG He looks like he's about to cry in every close up!! He's TRULY feeling this song!! What a beautiful song and performance!! Much love!!
a Soulman alright
Who wrote this
Janiva Magness wrote this beautiful song
@@patkeeler6645 Delbert McClinton, Gary Nicholson and Benmont Tench wrote this song.
One of Don Imus' favorites. Had Delbert on his morning show many times. Delbert is such a wonderful talent.
To me, this has to be Delbert's greatest song. Awesome. Thanks, Delbert. Warren Powell
I've seen him live singing with so much swagger but never seen anything like this incredibly touching, stripped version with his feelings bare.
My wife nd I have been together for over 50 years and have always said we were here because we were put together and it was only a loan from God. We both know one day the loan will have to be paid back and this song express our feelings and we will really never be apart.

How blessed the two of you are. You are God's example to many of us who have failed to nurture the kind of love you and your wife share. A blessing indeed.
Damn
No one in the world like Delbert McClinton, ,♥️♥️
A great sadness filled the room, a heart was broken,and never mended.
To Mr. McClinton. It's songs like this...that makes me keep internet.
It's tragic to me how amazing he has been his entire career and never truly got the recognition he deserves. From Delbert and Glen in the early 70's to amazing performances like this, he has so much wonderful music.
He is so real---love him and his music.
That was an unforgettable performance. Who would have thought. Love it.
Delbert’s been around a long time, always making great music.
Just a great "feel it to the gut" performance! I don't know why, but this type of blues/soul has always hit me to my core.
Always thought this was a great song and this is the proof What a performance.
Delbert is the real deal.
Wow, what a great song. It must be the most unlistened to great song of all time.
James Bates it is a great song
Yes you are baby!
This is a great tune and Delbert is always great but many artists have covered this one.
Delbert is incredible.....
Pryor bain
Wow, that is wonderful. "It's a sin to tell yourself a lie". what a great song! And the singing and playing is amazing......I love this video
Painful song to watch --- it rings true in my life too....
I didn't know Delbert and an old man at my work gave me a CD of him and I've listened to his music every since
Some of the world's finest blues songwriting, great performance! What a great love song, not many like this.
Thank you, Mr. McClinton for sharing your soul with the world and helping us through it all-again, thank you, Sir!
You can see the pain in his eyes, and voice as he sings. So heartbreaking...
Notice all of them have their eyes closed. Nothing but heart. He wasn't singing it, he was living it. Here come the tears.
A very happy 76th birthday, Delbert........... you were never mine, Jennifer
I don't think anyone puts the feeling into their songs like Delbert puts it into his...
I lost my wife and child,this song breaks my heart
Sorry
God bless you....
Be Comforted.
To quote Sam Phillips... "this is where the soul of a man never dies"....
No one, but no one, does Delbert like Delbert. Simply the best...full stop.
...amen and AMEN
I've seen Delbert preform 3 times. Every time he rocked the house!
Damn, I've heard a bunch of versions of this song .. but none better. The resonance and texture of the vocals and the stripped down accompaniment so suits this song. Way to go Delbert!!

Doesn't get much better than Delbert. 3 Grammys are not enough
I saw someone again today
Who remembered me and you
They asked all the same old questions
I gave the same excuse
They said what a shame, what a shame
To lose a love so fine
But I never lost you, I never lost you
I never lost you, you were never mine
I kept on believing
What I wanted to believe
The unspoken promises
That you could never keep
But it's a sin, oh it's a sin
To tell yourself a lie
I never lost you, I never lost you
I never lost you, you were never mine
Did you give me all you gave me
Just because I needed you
But when I needed all your love completely
Was it more than you could do
Sometimes deep in the night
When I hold you in my dreams
I get lost in your loving touch, baby
I can't believe how real it seems
And I know, yes I know
I'll have you 'till the end of time
'Cause I never lost you, I never lost you
I never lost you 'cause you were never mine
I never lost you, I never really lost you
How could I lose you, you were never mine
I love this song but I feel his pain it's so sad to see someone hurting I know I've had my fair share of it Delbert u got this love is like war easy to begin and hard. to end
One of the best damn storytellers of all time! Enjoy your retirement my man!!!

TELLING STORIES, WRITING SONGS: AN ALBUM OF Texas Songwriters.
Always love this music!
Damn. Delbert is just pure passion and magic.
Went to High School with Delbert. He had a band and played at a bar in Ft Worth. He has been great for over 50 years. Written a lot of songs that others made famous. He is a classic
love Delbert Mcclinton and this song is the best
Did he write it
Watching him on PBS right now. Love it.
Been listening a long time..IMO he's in the top three singer/songwriters of all time. Kris Kristofferson and Bob Seger being the other two.
The person that said he looks old and worn out needs a check up from the neck up. How shallow and vain they must be.
You may be right about the 3 best, however, he's my favorite. Include John Prine (my 2nd favorite), & you have the 4 best song writers in this genre.
@@erlethepearl 100% Agree. John Prine is definitely right up there with these three.
Dylan?
So excited ..I get to see Delbert this year ..my first time ..I can hardly wait
I have absolutely no doubt that it was one of the greatest performances you ever attended
Damn, he still breaks my heart with his music 💙
60 years of fantastic music
I love this man.
Tracy you need to take this song to heart!
Who broke his heart you can feel his hurt! Sorry my friend love you.
Delbert is too real for the real world.
Wow… I love you Delbert! You’re the only man I’d ever go to a real HonkyTonk 4:15 with chandeliers and sawdust on the floors. Great Memories in Memphis.. the honky Tonk is closed now- but memories remain
His Best song....Every man has felt this.....
Wish he would visit London, UK. Truly love his soulful sound
He sung that from the bottom of his soul
Love this tune. Delberts music is the best.
One of my favs of all times. Wonderful and underated. Watch also the superb interpretation by Janiva Magness.
Mine too! But just we have blessed by finding him. I am a Hugh fan of Bonnie Raitt, from WAY back (before Nick of Time) and that's how I found him! Have you ever heard od Paul Thorn? Another wonderful and underrated musician! If u haven't do yourself a favor and check him out! He will either make you laugh or cry and sometimes both! God Bless!!
No doubt, Delbert has lived this at some point in his life.....
I've live this song right down to the divorce. May never be another like her, and to me, that may be ok. i invested a lot in that relationship, all of my heart. At the time i thought she was made of gold. In retrospect she was never mine. I remember dancing in the living room and both she and i knowing. With wet eyes, thank you, Delbert.
Amazing 👌
Graduate from my alma matta, Arlington Heights High School in Ft. Worth, Tx....you go boyy..!#!
What a wonderful singer and a fantastic song
His voice and songs never die.
I love you buddy. You have a soul for music that touches the heart. Been there, done that. You know me.
All the feels...this song has so much meaning to me.
Glad you are still with us here in Austin!
Beautiful! Quintessential Delbert soul!❤
One of the most heart wrenching songs I have ever heard. It must have been personal. God be with you Delbert.
so beautiful...thank you Delbert
This is the most beautiful love song ever!
Cindy Jones, Delbert has several of those !

Years down the drain Amen

I truly hope the he enjoys his retirement as much as we have enjoyed 60 years of music!
Wow!!! There was some heart and soul poured into this
My life is in this song
del went there on that one man....wonder who he was thinking about....that was a crying hurt heart right there man...young musicians...when you perform get into the moment....
Very good!!! I love Delbert!!!
Delbert had more feeling for music than anyone else. What a singer/performer!
Delbert, Del, your song has a ring of truth & I thank you for putting words to my feelings.
I love this. It really happened to me. It's a sin to tell you self a lie, but happens all to often.
Renee Mayo, we all have... keep on believing what I wanted to believe...
She was never mine. But I was always hers. Haunting tune.
Unbelievably beautiful.
Love this by Delbert but I love all of his music.
Loved his song good man good woman. Have his cd excerpt that one. He’s awsome.
Powerful thought powerfully presented
Wow! I remember him from the 312 club in Fort Worth. Great voice!!
3 instuments expressing so much ...as good as it gets
Awesome song! Thank you Delbert!
Why can’t we get rid of all the country pop and show people what real music is?
Delbert,Id send the same message, everyday, but she doesn't know the love because she was never mine.
I never lost you Ms. Brenna
i just love every thing Delbert does, so cool
