I'm 53 yrs old and I have Parkienson Disease Throat Cancer and Lung Cancer and medical problems to many things, I was raised in a Church and I drifted away from it, but a few months ago I gave my heart and life back to the Good Lord and now I feel a sense of peace that I haven't had a really long time, and now I often think about my Mom fixn gravy n biscuits before Church on Sunday morning, so now that my life is coming to the end, I can close my eyes and humbley Thank Jesus for this amazing life and I know in my heart that I soon will be there, with Jesus and Momma, and for me if that what's in Heaven, well I'm not afraid to die, so I hope and pray if anyone out here needs to talk, just hit your knees close your eyes and humbley ask Jesus for a hand and I promise you he'll pick you up and walk with you, and you be afraid anymore!
This is the first time hearing this song. I just lost my fiancé July 14 2024 to throat cancer. I am so angry this song brought me to tears instantly as soon as I heard it. I miss the love of my life so very much.
I'm a big, tough guy. I've been in combat, I've been a bouncer and a bodyguard. I've been in situations that should've broken me. This songs breaks me every time I hear it.
December 31, 2004, my son, Brayden, passed away, he was 8 yrs old. He is an Angel! He had Down Syndrome and taught me and my family what it is to LOVE... We put this song in his memorial service and it was extremely moving. There was a pic of him and his Grandpa with a cherry pie with this song. It made everyone tear up. I thank Andy Griggs for this song and the Lord for giving Brayden to us regardless of his disabilities or medical issues. Down's babies are the MOST loving babies...
They sure are precious gifts from God Himself. ALL babies are of course, but Special Needs children & adults...They are gifts to us ALL & few people realize this fully. I love & miss my job taking care of them & the elderly...my bookends of life I call them. This virus took that away & haven't managed to get back where we were yet. . . Rest in blessed peace to your sweet Brayden. He'll be meeting you in Heaven first with huge smiles & True happiness forever this time. 💗🙏🏽💗
The night Gma passed--we had three cars leaving the hospital. No one knew what radio station the other had on. That's the first time we all heard this song--we got home and all had the same experience. That's God!
I had a similar experience but it was after watching a movie at a movie theater the movie brought back some bad memories I almost ran out of the movie theater scared on edge the rest of the movie anf on the way home the song mended by Matthew west came on and I broke down sobbing thank you god
Wow, that's just a little miracle that happens every day. The longer I live, the more I notice them. Congratulations, that one was just for you and yours
+Brandon Hudson God called her home like he did to my mom two years ago. He knew the job he sent them here to do was finished and it was time to come home.
+Brandon Hudson so sorry to hear of you loss mate .. she is at peace now she no longer holds the pain inside . your pain will ease off in time but I am sure she will stay in your heart always .. condolences to you and your family
I lost my mother to cancer 7 years ago today. She listened to this song everyday as me and my two sisters sat by her bed just waiting. She was 34. This is the first time Ive listened to the whole song since her passing. Needless to say, I kinda lost it. I know she is in a better place but I wish for one more day I could be with her.
I lost my beautiful Mother suddenly in my Arms on January 4th 2024 at 3:00PM She was getting into her chair I was helping her and softly she said to me “Thank You” and suddenly she was dying in my Arms. My best friend, the BEST MAMA was taken by God to her Heavenly “Home” My Heart is shredded without you Mama. Until God calls me “Home” you rest easy, and fly high in the sky, and on the day He calls me “Home” will you ask Him to let you come and bring me “Home?” Forever Love And Respect Mama 🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️🥲🥲🥲🥲 Your “Scottso”
@@mariamorgan9817 Thank You. The loss is a void, emptiness, a loneliness I can’t explain. It was so sudden, in my Arms at her apartment, no time to say I love you or goodbye. She was a wonderful Mother, a great Soul. I know she is in the Hands of God The Father now, and I will see her again when I get there, but the daily loneliness is crushing. Miss You Mama 💔💔💔👼👼👼🧚🏻🧚🏻🧚🏻🕊️🕊️🕊️❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹💐💐💐🌹🌹🌹🕯️🕯️🕯️
My precious little momma passed april 11th this year at 69 yrs old and had been diagnosed for 3 wks before she passed of acute myeloid leukemia, she got her cure and she is with my daddy and my older sister and her 2 grand baby girls! I love you mom and I miss you so much. Rest in peace precious momma. Your baby loves you so much.
I lost my 2nd husband Navy, my mom my dad Airforce and my 32 yrold son Army. It's so painful but it eases up a little, but these songs brings it right to the surface. Dads heavenly birthday was two days ago catching up with mom, 28 day older. They would gave been 91. Miss all of you. 💜 ✝️🙏🏼🌟
My son's death date is 11.11 I miss him like an angel misses their wings. Something has been taken from me that I will never b able to replace. I never knew this kind of pain and emptiness existed . I played this at his funeral and appreciate Mr Griggs finding these words that I never could.
This is absolutely the MOST underrated country song......probably one of the greatest ever written......besides The Dance.....oh well maybe more people will discover it!
This song helps you be at peace with all of your loved ones that are gone. It gives you some help to know that they are ok and at peace and not in pain anymore.
My fiancée just passed away July 14,2024 to throat cancer after a year long fight. I am so lost without him by my side. I miss him so very much. This is the first time I heard this song and it brought me to tears instantly.
Shelby Wolford passed a few months ago in 2024. We use to listen to this song a long time ago and I would karaoke it to her. One day I'll go see where momma went and it'll be like 1985 all over again. Be Blessed and Be encouraged, everyone who is going through tough times right now and in the future.
My son just passed away the pain and emptiness is something I can't describe. We played this at his funeral. My son was an addict and he od at our home in the floor with blood coming from his nose. I tried so very hard to pull him out of his addiction and I didn't. I miss my son so much and wish I could hug him one last time and tell him how much I love him
If heaven was an hour, it would be twilight When the fireflies start their dancin' on the lawn And suppers on the stove, and mammas laughin' And everybody's workin' day is done If heaven was a town it would be my town On a summer day in 1985 And everything I wanted was out there waitin' And everyone I loved was still alive Don't cry a tear for me now baby There comes a time we all must say goodbye And if that's what heavens made of You know what I ain't afraid to die If heaven was a pie it would be cherry Cool and sweet and heavy on the top And just one bite would satisfy your hunger There'd always be enough for everyone If heaven was a train it sure would be a fast one To take this weary traveler round the bend And if heaven was a tear it'd be my last one And you'd be in my arms again Don't cry a tear for me now baby There comes a time we all must say goodbye And if that's what heavens made of You know what I ain't afraid to die
This song reminds me of my brother who passed away in a car accident 7 years ago. However, I have lost my mother, father, grandpa's and my uncle also. It makes me want to pack up and go with them to heaven. The details in the song make heaven so tangible. One day we will all meet again. I love you guys!
Keep your music coming I lost my baby girl the day before Mother's day my momma died March 29 the day before she turned 87 years old . I love your music please keep your music coming I love your music.
I love this song. I have heard this one played at several funerals. I lost my wife a month ago and miss her more than I can say. Somehow this song actually brings a small degree of comfort to me. I think Andy Griggs has an awesome voice and I can't understand why he never became a country superstar.
I had lost my grandmother while I was out of town on a business trip..trying to get home in a timely fashion was a challenge and everything started to go wrong.. when I finally was able to get on a plane I was very distraught and pretty much an emotional mess.. this song came on while I was listening to headphones on the plane.. I was alone and this song was very comforting for me.. sad and made me cry but yet provided some comfort on that journey home.. especially when I heard "Don't cry a tear for me now baby.."
@@SilentWeaponsQuietWars he I’d definitely still around every Monday night he does an acoustic Facebook live show. He has been doing this for the last two years whenever Covid hit check it out
I’ve always loved this song. But I can relate to now more than ever. Well at least for the last 17 years for sure. My grandma, grandpa, momma are gone now. My momma was the most recent one in November 2022. I sure do miss them dearly. God bless all.
Your not alone. I’ve lost my younger sister, my Mom, Dad, Step-Dad, all my grandparents. Lost too many friends to count. I’m not supposed to be a survivor but for some reason, The Lord blessed me with them for a short time. Stage 4 throat cancer, stage 4 lung cancer and then the “widow maker” heart attack. God saw me thru it all. I’m 54 and have more than I need and way more than I deserve. Yea, I cry a lot. But it feels good sometimes to have a drink and recline back and go thru my favorite music.
@@GeniusLivesMatter God has definitely seen you through some very difficult times! I've had chronic debilitating migraines for 45 years now, while that comes no where near to what you've had to endure I understand the blessings. You're definitely right about a good cry, every once in awhile it's needed along with listening to good music especially songs like this. God bless 🙏
@@GeniusLivesMatter bless you buddy. Same here (almost) LAD "Widow Maker," Malignant skin cancer, cured 15 years ago. Everyone's gone except me. I'm alone, but not lonely. But I still get very sad, missing them all. Maybe one day.....
Me too sweetie. Me too. It's okay. It cleanses the soul. Let it fly and put your feet on the floor in the morning, knowing you're here for a reason. Go get 'em on behalf of those you've loved and lost.
I lost my uncle last spring break. i got a call from my parents saying he had passed in his sleep from heart failure. he was only 47. They played this at his funeral and it made me cry so much. I miss you everyday uncle Gene. your in a better place now, I love you and wish we would have gotten closer. I listen tot his song almost every day. well, i try to at least. ill try to make you proud uncle Gene, every day.
"If heaven was a town, it would be my town, on a summers day, in 1985. When everything I wanted was out there waiting, and everyone I loved was still alive" . Just perfect songwriting. I can't get past those lines without tearing up. Life goes by so fast, the worst part is losing those you love.
I can't get passed those lines without tearing up either. I know I am responding 4 years later, and I don't know you, but I hope you are alive and well.
The first time I heard this song, I was pulling out of the cemertary from visiting my girlfriend who passed in a car accident. It sent chills up my spine. The whole "dont cry a tear for me" part I can totally picture her saying that. She was amazing and so bright. I miss you so much
I lost one of my family friends a few weeks ago and my dad played this song and I thought of him and it made me cry and today I’m going to go to his celebration of life
I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL BACK IN 2005, & WE THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE, I WAS IN ICU....& J JUST REMEMBER SAYIN TO MYSELF, PLEASE, PLEASE GOD, JUST TAKE ME NOW!!!!! WHEN I FINALLY CAME OUT OF ICU.....I FELT A HAND ON MY HAND.....& WHEN I WOKE UP NO ONE WAS IN THE ROOM, & I STILL FELT THE HAND ON MINE. THEN, THEY HAD THE RADIO ON THAT WAS IN THE SIDE OF THE BED BY MY HEAD, & THIS IS THE SONG THAT CAME ON. AND WHEN IT CAME ON....THE FEELING OF SOMEONE TOUCHIN MY HAND WENT AWAY!!!! IT WAS AN AMAZING FEELING!!!!
Talvez sea el unico comentario en español pero yo en en cielo le tengo a mi esposa que fallecio por cancer nunca la olvidaré se llevo la mitad de mi corazón.
This song is simply amazing! One of the most underrated ever! "If Heaven was a train, it sure would be a fast one, that could take this weary traveler round the bend. If Heaven was a tear, it'd be my last one. And you'd be in my arms again." I lost my dad nearly 9 years ago and I've never been the same since. I celebrate it and want it played at my funeral.
If Heaven was a pie it would be cherry 🍒! Now, that is overwhelmingly beautiful and makes the perspective on life a little more sweeter. This is an exceptionally pretty song. Two thumbs up from Kingsport, Tennessee!
I lost a best friend when I was 5 or 6 (first grade). He had the same disability I do. & 14 years later (I'm 20) I still think of him everyday. My heart still aches for my best friend but I know he's no longer in pain. The braces & wheelchair are gone & I know one day I'll see him again & even if I'm old & gray he'll know it's me & we'll spend hours just running through the fields together like we always wished we could. R.I.P. Anthony Hoffman. I live everyday to the fullest for you my friend!
My second son just died, Cameron Scott Grush, one year and one week after my first born son, Ronald Lee Grush. The pain is indescribable.. immeasurable!! I feel lost.
I lost my dad on Dec 9th,2009. This song was played at his graveside service. It has been 15 years since he has passed and this song still breaks me every time i hear it.
This song makes me tear up every time I hear it.. so true and such a beautiful story of life that we all seem to take for granted .. takes me back to my youth and all the special people that have passed ..wonderful memories I will always cherish !
From time to time, when grief comes to me in heavy waves, then I listen to this song. It makes me cry but also gives so much comfort. Grief is like a long and broken road you have to walk almost alone.
OMG 11 years later and i've just heard this for the first time? How is that i wonder.. I used to listen to your music long long ago. This song just bust me up in tears... It may not have meant as much 11 years ago as it does today. I've lost so many loved ones and the one who is still alive (my momma) i can't see as she lives in England and i'm in Oregon. Shes 73 and i'm 53. I pray i can see her again.. Great song.
Never get tired of this song & video! Years ago when my young daughter bought the CD for my b.day ..I listened & cried thinking about my cousins , my mom & my favorite dog passing away....tonight I thought about it as I was feeling sad missing my grandbaby who spent the week end with us -in hopes his mommy could break him from nursing..well she caved and couldn't do it because he cried too much..these things are hard -OH but the beautiful dance we have that goes with it makes it so worth It!
Heaven has my dad my friends my grandparents aunts and uncles heaven has angels that were choosen by god❤ not to make us sad but so they dont hurt no more ❤
If heaven was a town it would be my town On a summer day in 1985 And everything I wanted was out there waitin' And everyone I loved was still alive. Man... that's the truth.
Mason would be so proud of you, Andy. I only knew him for a short time in the late 80s and early 90s- not long before he passed, actually - but he was an amazing guy. I saw a note on facebook that you sang this at Glen Goudeau's funeral, so I watched the video. It was such a shock to see the video of you and Mason at the end of the video. Seeing his face brought back memories. May the Father continually bless and keep your family. Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us.
This song reminds me of when my fiance passed in 2008. We went underway on Monday, September 8th and were supposed to go to Texas for Hurricane Relief. We never went down there and when we came back into port that week Thursday I found out that she had passed and was cremated already. I wasn't even able to say my goodbyes to her before she got cremated. Sometimes she still visits me in my dreams and I even can feel her warmth the moment I wake up.
MY TIME HERE IS SHORT,BUT THIS SONG GIVES ME THE COURAGE I'LL NEED TO SAY GOODBYE TO ALL I'VE LOVED,EVEN THOSE WHO COULDN'T LOVE ME.AND THE STRENGTH TO BELIEVE I'LL SEE YOU ALL AGAIN ONE DAY.JUST KNOW THAT I'LL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU IN SPIRIT-AND WATCHING OVER YOU..-AND TO MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE CRYSTAL; YOU WERE THE ONLY BRIGHT SPOT IN A LONELY LOVELESS LIFE. THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME !
I would love to go back to 1985 for one more look around. Sure do miss all my loved ones who are now gone. I know I will see them again though when my time comes. ✝️
This song is so great. I lost an entire generation. 8 people in 4 months. My grandpa and I werent very close but we were close enough that it affected me so much, My Great Aunt helped raise me, She ment the world to me. I hate having to say goodbye to all of these great people. But someday, I will see them again.
My ❤️ goes out to all of you! I'm having major surgery the the 15th of March. I need prayers 🙏 we lost my daddy and husband within a few months 😪 its going on a little over 3years now 😢, but you never forget or cry and that's great!
Awww, so sorry about your loss Melinda. I truly understand how it feels losing a loved one, my wife passed while having our daughter, also lost both parents due to car accident, wasn't easy for me though but I'm grateful to God for today 🙏. My deep and sincere condolences, how have you been? 🌺 😢
Andy Griggs was always, and still continues to be a VERY underrated artist. I have no idea why he didn't have more commercial success. Either way, he has give us some great songs.
You remember where you were when you experienced things that meant something to you. I remember driving on the freeway with the windows down when I first heard this song. I cranked it up. Life was good.
This songs breaks my💔every time I hear it because i can relate for sure, im so in love with this song ive listen to it over and over so conforting know i will get to be with all my loved ones who's gone home to be with the Lord some day. So touching call me selfish but as this song says i wished every one i love was still alive and here with me. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written i think.Andy Griggs you are such wonderful and talanted singer and your video is beautiful as well. God bless you always.
Such a soul stirring song , Makes me see all the important things I thought were important turns out not so much and time ran by me so fast but if heaven was a beautiful morning it'd be eternal!!
I miss you pappy😘❤️💕I wish you were still here to see my boys growing... My youngest last saw you when he was a month old... You moved back to where I grew up and passed away when he was, 3 months old... Wish you could see him now, he will be 3 years old this summer....I hope you're waiting for me when it's my time
I'm 53 yrs old and I have Parkienson Disease Throat Cancer and Lung Cancer and medical problems to many things, I was raised in a Church and I drifted away from it, but a few months ago I gave my heart and life back to the Good Lord and now I feel a sense of peace that I haven't had a really long time, and now I often think about my Mom fixn gravy n biscuits before Church on Sunday morning, so now that my life is coming to the end, I can close my eyes and humbley Thank Jesus for this amazing life and I know in my heart that I soon will be there, with Jesus and Momma, and for me if that what's in Heaven, well I'm not afraid to die, so I hope and pray if anyone out here needs to talk, just hit your knees close your eyes and humbley ask Jesus for a hand and I promise you he'll pick you up and walk with you, and you be afraid anymore!
I hope u are good sir God bless u
Darien I will say prayers for you. May God bless you friend.

This is the first time hearing this song. I just lost my fiancé July 14 2024 to throat cancer. I am so angry this song brought me to tears instantly as soon as I heard it. I miss the love of my life so very much.
I will be praying for you I had cancer to but I knew I was OK either way
I'm a big, tough guy. I've been in combat, I've been a bouncer and a bodyguard. I've been in situations that should've broken me. This songs breaks me every time I hear it.
I'm a bigger guy than you, Clayton. 4000 lbs. Wanna fight? :0)
I haven't been in combat though.
😥
I'm with you Brother. It gets you right in the feels.
Lived on the FOB probably.
Remembering my buddy Tyrone Snowden Woods, a former Navy SEAL and my Bootcamp brother Company 129 Division 8 San Diego, California April/June 1990.

They sure are precious gifts from God Himself. ALL babies are of course, but Special Needs children & adults...They are gifts to us ALL & few people realize this fully. I love & miss my job taking care of them & the elderly...my bookends of life I call them. This virus took that away & haven't managed to get back where we were yet. . .
Rest in blessed peace to your sweet Brayden.
He'll be meeting you in Heaven first with huge smiles & True happiness forever this time.

My condolences for your loss. I cannot imagine the pain you feel. My prayers are with you. 🙏

This song makes me cry!
Yeah
So very true ❤❤❤❤❤
AMEN❤🙏🏻🦋😇🎉
My fiancée just passed away July 14,2024 to throat cancer after a year long fight. I am so lost without him by my side. I miss him so very much. This is the first time I heard this song and it brought me to tears instantly.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I'm praying for you. 💚 💚
One of the greatest songs ever written. Never listen to it without crying.
I grew up with Andy and so many of these things take me back to Louisiana

My son just passed away the pain and emptiness is something I can't describe. We played this at his funeral. My son was an addict and he od at our home in the floor with blood coming from his nose. I tried so very hard to pull him out of his addiction and I didn't. I miss my son so much and wish I could hug him one last time and tell him how much I love him
My brother overdosed also.Such a point less death,he wouldn't stop his drugs.Bless you and your family.
I also lost a son at 28 yrs old from OD. Your son knew how much you loved him.
If heaven was an hour, it would be twilight
When the fireflies start their dancin' on the lawn
And suppers on the stove, and mammas laughin'
And everybody's workin' day is done
If heaven was a town it would be my town
On a summer day in 1985
And everything I wanted was out there waitin'
And everyone I loved was still alive
Don't cry a tear for me now baby
There comes a time we all must say goodbye
And if that's what heavens made of
You know what I ain't afraid to die
If heaven was a pie it would be cherry
Cool and sweet and heavy on the top
And just one bite would satisfy your hunger
There'd always be enough for everyone
If heaven was a train it sure would be a fast one
To take this weary traveler round the bend
And if heaven was a tear it'd be my last one
And you'd be in my arms again
Don't cry a tear for me now baby
There comes a time we all must say goodbye
And if that's what heavens made of
You know what I ain't afraid to die
Play this song when im missin the ones ive lost. Love them while youve got em.
This song reminds me of my brother who passed away in a car accident 7 years ago. However, I have lost my mother, father, grandpa's and my uncle also.

Keep your music coming I lost my baby girl the day before Mother's day my momma died March 29 the day before she turned 87 years old . I love your music please keep your music coming I love your music.
Hello Debbie.. how are you doing?
I'm going to go through a very difficult time and if I don't make it please remember this song in honor of all who have gone home !
I love this song. I have heard this one played at several funerals. I lost my wife a month ago and miss her more than I can say. Somehow this song actually brings a small degree of comfort to me. I think Andy Griggs has an awesome voice and I can't understand why he never became a country superstar.
My youngest son was stillborn April 11th of this year.. my partner just sent me this song and it's absolutely broken me 😭💔 it's so beautiful. ❣️
I am sorry for your loss.
God bless you. I lost my daughter to stillbirth June 1st, 1985.
🙏♥️🙏
I had lost my grandmother while I was out of town on a business trip..trying to get home in a timely fashion was a challenge and everything started to go wrong.. when I finally was able to get on a plane I was very distraught and pretty much an emotional mess.. this song came on while I was listening to headphones on the plane.. I was alone and this song was very comforting for me.. sad and made me cry but yet provided some comfort on that journey home.. especially when I heard "Don't cry a tear for me now baby.."
Hello Misty... how are you doing?
that was your grandmother comforting you and letting you know she is okay and she's happy.
@@RHONDAHAINES-gl9un Hello Rhonda.. how are you doing?
@@RHONDAHAINES-gl9un hello.. how are you doing?
I'm so sorry 🤦💔🙌😇, ! I couldn't imagine that! God bless you! We have to stick together... grief is just love with no where to go..I know.❤❤
This song makes me think of my pawpaw that passed away last year of brain cancer. Love you pawpaw. Can't wait to see you again!
Hello
Andy’s voice is truly a gift from god
Not bad at all.
I wonder why we never hear of him anymore? His TH-cam channel has 2 songs.
@@SilentWeaponsQuietWars he I’d definitely still around every Monday night he does an acoustic Facebook live show. He has been doing this for the last two years whenever Covid hit check it out
I’ve always loved this song. But I can relate to now more than ever. Well at least for the last 17 years for sure. My grandma, grandpa, momma are gone now. My momma was the most recent one in November 2022. I sure do miss them dearly. God bless all.
If you are saved you'll go to heaven
I teared up when this song came out, it's 2020. My Mom, Dad, Grandparent's and now my Uncle are gone. Now I flat out cry 😢
Your not alone. I’ve lost my younger sister, my Mom, Dad, Step-Dad, all my grandparents. Lost too many friends to count. I’m not supposed to be a survivor but for some reason, The Lord blessed me with them for a short time. Stage 4 throat cancer, stage 4 lung cancer and then the “widow maker” heart attack. God saw me thru it all. I’m 54 and have more than I need and way more than I deserve.
Yea, I cry a lot. But it feels good sometimes to have a drink and recline back and go thru my favorite music.
@@GeniusLivesMatter God has definitely seen you through some very difficult times! I've had chronic debilitating migraines for 45 years now, while that comes no where near to what you've had to endure I understand the blessings. You're definitely right about a good cry, every once in awhile it's needed along with listening to good music especially songs like this.
God bless 🙏
@@GeniusLivesMatter bless you buddy. Same here (almost) LAD "Widow Maker," Malignant skin cancer, cured 15 years ago. Everyone's gone except me. I'm alone, but not lonely. But I still get very sad, missing them all. Maybe one day.....
Me too sweetie. Me too. It's okay. It cleanses the soul. Let it fly and put your feet on the floor in the morning, knowing you're here for a reason. Go get 'em on behalf of those you've loved and lost.
@@orbs1062 ❤❤❤
What a classic...I absolutely love this song..Andy Griggs is the man!!!
i like it too
My grandfather always said he wasn’t afraid to die and when we had his service they played this song and describes him so much!!!!!
I lost my uncle last spring break. i got a call from my parents saying he had passed in his sleep from heart failure. he was only 47. They played this at his funeral and it made me cry so much. I miss you everyday uncle Gene. your in a better place now, I love you and wish we would have gotten closer. I listen tot his song almost every day. well, i try to at least. ill try to make you proud uncle Gene, every day.
Hello Lindsay how are you
How could anybody thumb down this song... brings tears 2my eyes every time .
Smiles, hi Melissa 🌺 😊
"If heaven was a town, it would be my town, on a summers day, in 1985. When everything I wanted was out there waiting, and everyone I loved was still alive" .
Just perfect songwriting. I can't get past those lines without tearing up. Life goes by so fast, the worst part is losing those you love.
Jeff Miley
I can't get passed those lines without tearing up either. I know I am responding 4 years later, and I don't know you, but I hope you are alive and well.
Jeff Miley this song hit home! Small town USA. Those days are only memories
Jeff Miley amen bro
Yes, sir. I’m with you. These are some of the most beautiful and touching lyrics written.
I can’t get through this song without tears flowing.
The first time I heard this song, I was pulling out of the cemertary from visiting my girlfriend who passed in a car accident. It sent chills up my spine. The whole "dont cry a tear for me" part I can totally picture her saying that. She was amazing and so bright. I miss you so much
I lost one of my family friends a few weeks ago and my dad played this song and I thought of him and it made me cry and today I’m going to go to his celebration of life
This song gets into my soul.
I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL BACK IN 2005, & WE THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE, I WAS IN ICU....& J JUST REMEMBER SAYIN TO MYSELF, PLEASE, PLEASE GOD, JUST TAKE ME NOW!!!!! WHEN I FINALLY CAME OUT OF ICU.....I FELT A HAND ON MY HAND.....& WHEN I WOKE UP NO ONE WAS IN THE ROOM, & I STILL FELT THE HAND ON MINE. THEN, THEY HAD THE RADIO ON THAT WAS IN THE SIDE OF THE BED BY MY HEAD, & THIS IS THE SONG THAT CAME ON. AND WHEN IT CAME ON....THE FEELING OF SOMEONE TOUCHIN MY HAND WENT AWAY!!!! IT WAS AN AMAZING FEELING!!!!
I miss my sister
An angel.
Your Guardian Angel knew you were ready to go home, however God still had work for you down here! 🙏🏻❤️😉
Have faith believe and remember all the good stuff
Never give up
Talvez sea el unico comentario en español pero yo en en cielo le tengo a mi esposa que fallecio por cancer nunca la olvidaré se llevo la mitad de mi corazón.
This song is simply amazing! One of the most underrated ever! "If Heaven was a train, it sure would be a fast one, that could take this weary traveler round the bend. If Heaven was a tear, it'd be my last one. And you'd be in my arms again." I lost my dad nearly 9 years ago and I've never been the same since. I celebrate it and want it played at my funeral.
West Monroe, Louisiana is our town!
My heart is with this beautiful song 🎵 THANK YOU SO Beautiful 😍
Hello Brent... how are you doing?
This song just pulls at my heart strings. That's how I like it. I can't wait to be reunited with my loved ones in heaven.
I'am not afraid to die! Heaven would be my Hometown! If Heaven was a pie it would be Apple! God bless you Mr. Andy Griggs
Hello Karen how are you
If Heaven was a pie it would be cherry 🍒! Now, that is overwhelmingly beautiful and makes the perspective on life a little more sweeter. This is an exceptionally pretty song. Two thumbs up from Kingsport, Tennessee!
Small world. 😊 Big Stone Gap, VA. Beautiful song.
@@connieg5351 I have videos of Big Stone Gap on my TH-cam channel.
I lost a best friend when I was 5 or 6 (first grade). He had the same disability I do. & 14 years later (I'm 20) I still think of him everyday. My heart still aches for my best friend but I know he's no longer in pain. The braces & wheelchair are gone & I know one day I'll see him again & even if I'm old & gray he'll know it's me & we'll spend hours just running through the fields together like we always wished we could. R.I.P. Anthony Hoffman. I live everyday to the fullest for you my friend!

Hello
Eleven years ago today, I buried my beloved wife. She was sweet like cherry pie, when she was still alive...
💔
💔
I lost my dad on Dec 9th,2009. This song was played at his graveside service. It has been 15 years since he has passed and this song still breaks me every time i hear it.
I lost my husband last year I miss him every single day. This song means so much to me. I know I will see him again in heaven.
Hello Carolyn how are you
This song makes me tear up every time I hear it.. so true and such a beautiful story of life that we all seem to take for granted .. takes me back to my youth and all the special people that have passed ..wonderful memories I will always cherish !

I was wondering if you had an extra heart. Mine was just stolen.
Hey Cuzco. .this song never gets old..love ya
Hello Tammy.. how are you doing?
From time to time, when grief comes to me in heavy waves, then I listen to this song. It makes me cry but also gives so much comfort. Grief is like a long and broken road you have to walk almost alone.
Me too brother
OMG 11 years later and i've just heard this for the first time? How is that i wonder.. I used to listen to your music long long ago. This song just bust me up in tears... It may not have meant as much 11 years ago as it does today. I've lost so many loved ones and the one who is still alive (my momma) i can't see as she lives in England and i'm in Oregon. Shes 73 and i'm 53. I pray i can see her again.. Great song.
Hi how are you
Never get tired of this song & video! Years ago when my young daughter bought the CD for my b.day ..I listened & cried thinking about my cousins , my mom & my favorite dog passing away....tonight I thought about it as I was feeling sad missing my grandbaby who spent the week end with us -in hopes his mommy could break him from nursing..well she caved and couldn't do it because he cried too much..these things are hard -OH but the beautiful dance we have that goes with it makes it so worth It!
Heaven has my dad my friends my grandparents aunts and uncles heaven has angels that were choosen by god❤ not to make us sad but so they dont hurt no more ❤
@MarcosBryant-gk1jv his words touch my heart
One of Andy’s best songs for sure.
Memories flood me when i hear this, great memories
If heaven was a town it would be my town
On a summer day in 1985
And everything I wanted was out there waitin'
And everyone I loved was still alive.
Man... that's the truth.
Mason would be so proud of you, Andy. I only knew him for a short time in the late 80s and early 90s- not long before he passed, actually - but he was an amazing guy. I saw a note on facebook that you sang this at Glen Goudeau's funeral, so I watched the video. It was such a shock to see the video of you and Mason at the end of the video. Seeing his face brought back memories. May the Father continually bless and keep your family. Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us.
Hello Tracy how are you
This song reminds me of when my fiance passed in 2008. We went underway on Monday, September 8th and were supposed to go to Texas for Hurricane Relief. We never went down there and when we came back into port that week Thursday I found out that she had passed and was cremated already. I wasn't even able to say my goodbyes to her before she got cremated. Sometimes she still visits me in my dreams and I even can feel her warmth the moment I wake up.
Enjoy them dreams cause that's all we have left They are our loved ones and they will never be forgotten
Never forget the ones that love you and the ones that you love
MY TIME HERE IS SHORT,BUT THIS SONG GIVES ME THE COURAGE I'LL NEED TO SAY GOODBYE TO ALL I'VE LOVED,EVEN THOSE WHO COULDN'T LOVE ME.AND THE STRENGTH TO BELIEVE I'LL SEE YOU ALL AGAIN ONE DAY.JUST KNOW THAT I'LL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU IN SPIRIT-AND WATCHING OVER YOU..-AND TO MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE CRYSTAL; YOU WERE THE ONLY BRIGHT SPOT IN A LONELY LOVELESS LIFE. THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME !
REX GRAHAM love

Posted three yrs from 10.17.... I wonder if your still here. If your in heaven, I envy your peace.

Hello Heather... how are you doing?
For those of us who have truly loved and lost, this is the song for you
This song almost made me cry when one of my aunts and uncles died.
I love this song,beautiful song.
I was wondering if you had an extra heart. Mine was just stolen.
I would love to go back to 1985 for one more look around. Sure do miss all my loved ones who are now gone. I know I will see them again though when my time comes. ✝️
This song is so great. I lost an entire generation. 8 people in 4 months. My grandpa and I werent very close but we were close enough that it affected me so much, My Great Aunt helped raise me, She ment the world to me. I hate having to say goodbye to all of these great people. But someday, I will see them again.
I Lost my boyfriend to cancer back in 2010.
I do love your music and you too Andy Griggs.

Andy Griggs was always, and still continues to be a VERY underrated artist. I have no idea why he didn't have more commercial success. Either way, he has give us some great songs.
You remember where you were when you experienced things that meant something to you. I remember driving on the freeway with the windows down when I first heard this song. I cranked it up. Life was good.
