No other song calls up such a strong emotion as this one. The love of my life told me she didn't love me anymore. It was the most gut wrenching hurt I've ever experienced. I could barely function. It was horrible. At that time I would have gladly given up 20 years of my life if she would stay. Well we split and divorced. Finally I moved on but never forgot her. I never stopped loving her. We were apart 14 years and one day she contacted me. She never forgot me either. We started dating and eventually got married again. We've been married now for 21 years. Life is good!
What a remarkable love story , true love never dies , I left and divorced my childhood love , we were so wrong , in the fact that we supported each other’s alcoholism , I’m sober and I still love her , but …. Ya. , u guessed it
The older I get the truer this song is. It was 1979, the world was great. Until she said those words too me. I've had some fun since then but the pain has never left.
Listen to his records. Brilliant voice, excellent writing & a beautiful melody understanding - he had all that in him. Just because you never knew those songs, it doesn't mean that he was a one song number. @@jadezee6316
I was madly in love that 16/17 to a married man and I had never first time my parents ever ever said I love you or we love you is it after they picked me up from the nuthouse we’re trying to commit suicide and then one time I want to do my moms newspaper out with her before we got the kids off to school and we couldn’t really talk so I turned on the radio and this song came on or I don’t know oh I know is I said mom I want you to listen to this song because I had just gotten out of the hospital from trying to commit suicide I said mama I want you to listen to the song and she listened and she said that’s the most pathetic thing I have ever heard. That shaped my relationships for decades but this song maybe it’s pathetic but I always wanted somebody to feel that way about me whether it be my parents my lovers my siblings all I’ve ever wanted in life somebody to love me
Wow, that is one song that tells a story that we all can relate to ,at some point in our lives .No one sings it as great as Billy Vera.Such an underrated talent not given the recognition he deserves.Rock it Billy👍❤❤👍
spent an hour and a half trying to remember these lyrics to this song just so i could find the artist and hear it again! YES persistence pays off! love it love it love it. thanks Billy
every time i hear this song i cry . i have never gotten over her i would love her just as much today as i did 30 yrs ago. she has gone from this world so it will remain as it is right now. There has never been another and at 70 yrs old there will never be another like her
That is so sweet . Hopefully she was worthy of that kind of love. Alot of times they aren't. Hopefully you found someone else to love who didnt ever know she was 2nd in your heart . But you certainly sound like you deserved love 💓 I'm thinking the George Jones song He stopped loving her today might be a perfect fit for you
breakdown 383 I’m 47...madly in love with my wife; yet your post is the most beautiful (and saddest ) words I’ve ever read- The words that come to mind: “it’s better to have (truly) loved and lost, than to have never to loved at all.” God bless!
I'm bout to be 60yrs and I've always got kicked in the head with this song always pondered how it gets in your soul, Just watched a lot of 1st time hearing it from different TH-camrs and it hit me, That song captured and emotion in a Musical, Vocal and Sound wave so perfect, even now generations later still provokes emotional responses.
This one is for my sister-in-law. Marion Wbite-Edwards. She had lived in Columbus, Ohio. She went back to visit and this was the rage. She played it for me here in N.J., I have loved it ever since. Jesus is Love
WOW, no one can sing this amazing song like Billy, it's his!!! Billy has not gotten the recognition he truly deserves. Thank you Billy for one of the most relatable love songs ever!! What a strong powerful voice. Billy has it all ❤
This song is a time capsule in my heart, each time I hear it it brings me back to a time in my life I cried my heart and soul out. Love, love this song.
The song chocks me up and reminded of Michael and Tracy love 💘 💕 scene thoughts and prayers are with you Michael and the family and friends ❤♥ you are a wonderful person and actor same with Tracy all the best
DylanGirl1963 I think this thought almost every day.....but they don’t come back. The lost can never be found again. We who are left just have to live on....
I'm here because I just saw this guy on an episode of "Beverly Hills 90210" where he played a bookie who Brandon got in trouble with. He was really good. I wish they hadn't replaced him with another actor later in the series.
I'm a singer/songwriter who also plays great love/breakup songs from the past. I recently remembered this gorgeous work by Billy Vera and the Beaters and am going to add it to my repertoire. Hopefully I can do this masterpiece justice! Thanks for the memories, Billy!
I don’t know how old I was but I remember my Father playing this song on his family room stereo and I loved it from the first time I heard it. Definitely in my top three all time favorite’s
In his biography Harlem to Hollywood he tells the story of how the conductor started this off too slow. Billy made the split decision to ask for a restart or go with it. He went with it, resulting in this amazing performance which he considered one of his best performances of the song. Listen to that a cappella vocal. The crowd knew they were part of a special performance. What a singer. What a legend. What a gentleman.
Those are the decisions that separate the professional musician from the wannabees! Thanks for sharing the story. Priceless performance of his classic! Cheers\=/\=/
It takes a rare and tested talent to understand "I got this", and go with the flow. Sometimes the most extraordinary performances come out of these situations. Thanks for sharing that story from a humble but talented person and performer.
Class-act! Breaking up sucks, especially when someone you love tells you they don’t love you anymore. This song does a good job expressing those feelings.
all the way frae Scotland that wiz great ,reminds me of hard times but also reminds me of good times after ,hard times are there to remind you to enjoy the good times when they come ,thanks Billy Vera
I remembered this song teenager . Haven't heard it for along time now it came back to my ears couple weeks ago wouldn't u know depressing time of my life. I'm crying buckets. I love him for singing this song.
I knew Billy back in the day. I was in awe of him then, and am in awe of him now. This is one of the best heartbreak songs every written and ever performed.
I have loved this song for most of my adult life and seriously never knew who was the singer. This is a song sung with so much emotion and heart I could listen to it every day. I have heard other singers attempt it, but no one comes close to Billy. It is a CLASSIC.
My Father passed recently in this is a song he always used to talk about and I remember watching the episode with my fam, thank you so much. One of if not the best songs of all time it still gives me chills and tremendous memory of my Dad. Thank you
been thru marriage and two more loves, still love first love so much. this song should be on several top ten lists, top ten songs performed for tv for sure.

This man deserved so much more recognition for his talent than he received

That's eternal love, very rare!
Hear you
Good for you, but why did she end it? I have to know.
What a remarkable love story , true love never dies , I left and divorced my childhood love , we were so wrong , in the fact that we supported each other’s alcoholism , I’m sober and I still love her , but …. Ya. , u guessed it
What a story, it gives me hope.
Billy Vera is the only man that can sing the beautiful song. Brings back both the good and bad memories, still makes me cry
I have heard covers of this song. They were all horrible! Billy Vera LIVED this song! It's his own breakup!
Possibly the greatest love song ever written. Lyrically, melodically and in delivery. It is just perfection.
June 2024 still here billy been here since 88 f.t 😢❤
The older I get the truer this song is. It was 1979, the world was great. Until she said those words too me. I've had some fun since then but the pain has never left.
Damn. 35 years later and is still hits me right where it counts.
Undoubtably one of the greatest songs ever written
Could never understand why this guy wasn't a mega-star...
cause one song dont make you a mega star people do that and not enough agree with you

This is a heart wrenching song ,especially if you have had that experience.
It's been years but I still cry when I hear it.
Billy sang this song for every broken heart in the world...beautiful song, and yes, it still makes me break down..
I was madly in love that 16/17 to a married man and I had never first time my parents ever ever said I love you or we love you is it after they picked me up from the nuthouse we’re trying to commit suicide and then one time I want to do my moms newspaper out with her before we got the kids off to school and we couldn’t really talk so I turned on the radio and this song came on or I don’t know oh I know is I said mom I want you to listen to this song because I had just gotten out of the hospital from trying to commit suicide I said mama I want you to listen to the song and she listened and she said that’s the most pathetic thing I have ever heard.

Me too
This song was made for Billy’s incredible voice.
Billy Vera, you're one of the greatest ever. Thank you for your terrific music.
Still awesome. ...Billy is the only person who could sing this song.
Just heard Michael Buble sing this song...not even close. Billy would put a master class on singing. The notes he hits and can maintain..
All them karaoke people think they owned it though!
Tom Jones gives it a fair crack mind
Davina michelle !
@@jmak722Buble's version is horrible compared to Vera's!
Such a great song. My life song. Cried in the 80ies crying now.
every time i hear this song i cry . i have never gotten over her i would love her just as much today as i did 30 yrs ago. she has gone from this world so it will remain as it is right now. There has never been another and at 70 yrs old there will never be another like her
I'm so sorry. I'm afraid I know exactly how you feel.
That is so sweet . Hopefully she was worthy of that kind of love. Alot of times they aren't. Hopefully you found someone else to love who didnt ever know she was 2nd in your heart . But you certainly sound like you deserved love 💓

Yes. W/ me it’s my dear gram, never had a romantic love like yours. I send my love.

I love this song, it is so beautiful, I cry whenever I hear it!!! Sing it Billy!!!!
I still love this song. He sings with such passion. I have a little bit of a crush
How is he not one of the biggest stars of all time with that voice?
Thanks for Millie with the Chili, my dear aunt with a heart of gold who lived upstairs. She was my very favorite aunt.
beautiful
Smooth like brandy beside the fireplace. Mmm great song. Cheers.
This song rips my heart apart. And dredge up memories. Regret hurts far worse than rejection. If only.
Almost 2024, but at this moment it's december 2023 18th 22:50....still touches my soul.
One of the greatest songs ever written/performed ❤
Of all his performances of this song, this is The One!!! Love it!!!
I absolutely love this song
Wow this song never leaves you once you hear. Such an under appreciated voice.
I LOVE this song!
This song is a time capsule in my heart, each time I hear it it brings me back to a time in my life I cried my heart and soul out. Love, love this song.
A song for the broken hearted.
A fine wine song🍷🥰
Awesome, Billy should be getting more acclaim in the music world
Still love and always will. It says it all.
Billy Vera is like my alter ego voice...this song kills me each time, then makes me feel like I got through a hard time with a great ending......
The song chocks me up and reminded of Michael and Tracy love 💘 💕 scene thoughts and prayers are with you Michael and the family and friends ❤♥ you are a wonderful person and actor same with Tracy all the best
Guitar absolutely CRUSHED it!
So, so True, no one can sing this song but him, he has the everything for the word
This song really tears me up. And believe it or not, it was because the love of my life left me 33 years ago and married the love of her life.
Luv ❤❤❤ holds true to this very day . Always love this song
Good friend and Auntie of Tayler’s. I have loved this song FOREVER! Got me through some tuff times. Thank you Mr. Verá!
"If you stay, I'd subtract twenty years from my life..." Most haunting lyric I've ever heard.
I agree amigo. It chokes me up every time
Heavy.
DylanGirl1963 I think this thought almost every day.....but they don’t come back. The lost can never be found again. We who are left just have to live on....
DylanGirl1963 yea, he would be like 10 depending age he woulda sing it or whatever...☆✯✫✰
@@pawneebrask3507 Actually, I believe he was in his early 40s.
I'm here because I just saw this guy on an episode of "Beverly Hills 90210" where he played a bookie who Brandon got in trouble with. He was really good. I wish they hadn't replaced him with another actor later in the series.
I will forever love this s🎵 ❤
Magnificent.
Make me cry always I hear this song💖💖💖
Love this song. I remember ....
Beautiful Billy !! One of the best Vocals ever put on record ...
I don't allow myself to attach this song to anyone in my past. Too gut wrenching. Love it.
Same! It's too good. But I absolutely relate to the lyrics and feelings
Love this response to the song. Too true, John B
Summer in California........Billy and the Beaters.....................memories
I'm a singer/songwriter who also plays great love/breakup songs from the past. I recently remembered this gorgeous work by Billy Vera and the Beaters and am going to add it to my repertoire. Hopefully I can do this masterpiece justice! Thanks for the memories, Billy!

Kiss the ground that you walk on Baby....That is love in the first degree.. Billy..San Diego California Loves You!
