I have a biografie from him ,and i got a lot respect for his work .
For the many veterans of war,had hy make a good job ,kind regards,Leo...
I held my Dad's hand when he died and I felt privileged. He brought me into this world...holding me in his arms and I held him as he passed away. This is a sad but a beautiful song. I miss my Dad every day and will until the day we meet again.
Feel the same way took care of my dad with cancer
That comment broke my heart. Did the same for my grandfather an old Irishman. More of a father than a grandfather. God bless you.
Great song so many memories of my dad with this song
I was able to spend two weeks with my dad, shortly before he died.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t be there when he died 4 weeks later.
It broke my heart, that I wasn’t there for him.
He was such a good man.
The last time I saw him, I gave a salute to him when I left.
He didn’t want me to go.
☹️☹️😢😢
A friend sent this song to me, when Dad died….what a beautiful gesture.
❤️😓❤️
My father passed away tonight after a long up-and-down struggle over the past several years. This song has been my solace and comfort over that time, reminding me most of all to take every opportunity to "tell him thanks for everything he's done." I still have many tears to shed but I will continue to listen to this song on my own as it was one that we often shared.
My father died on July 01,1990 but this brings him back. My heart cries and memories sometimes hurt but this song says it all. Great song and singer.
Tom in TN. USA
i love this song . I was so blessed to have him as my father . He was my best friend, my rock when I was going through tough times and he was my cheer leader. He's been gone for twenty years and I miss him every day. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I think of the man I call "Father" he married my mom with 6 kids at home....when we lost him I was there to give him his last glass of water and watched as he passed over to be with God and wait for us....this song makes me think of him every time I hear it....
I was able to sit with my Dad whom was dieing of cancer, 2mo before he passed in Oct 2000, I told him that I proud to be his son, and apologized for the things that saddened him (a divorce) I thanked him for all the things he had taught me thru out his life... He passed Dec 27,2000 and still miss him dearly, my ol man
Played this at my fathers funeral one of his favorites and I also miss him my old man...Love you Dad!
I use this rendition by John every year as a tribute to my Dad. He would have been 95 today, April 24, 2020. He passed one decade ago leaving a huge empty space in my heart. Dad indeed made me who I am...I never will forget him
I'm feeling you. Our dad died on 1st August 2019... 14 months after our Mum... it's our first fathers day without him
I always disliked it when people referred to their parents as "the old man" or "the old woman". But in this song, "the old man" is referenced with such love, respect and endearment that it brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful words and a beautiful voice. Thank you!
Remembering our father Desmond ....died on April 25th 2020, one year to the day from our mother (2019).....and the words are absolutely fitting of our dad ....I will never listen to the song the same way again ....love you Dad ....thanks for the gift of this song to so many families ....Father's Day 2020....may he rest in peace!
From the first time I met John, from that first handshake, I became a lifelong fan. His wonderful songs have endeared me to Ireland. God bless him.
As a grandfather, this was almost too sad to watch, but I made it to the end!
I listen to this in memory of my beloved father who entered into eternal rest four years ago. He never gave up on me, even in the years when I strayed from all he had taught me. I miss our conversations and his calming presence so much in these troubled days. God willing I will see him again, for all eternity. I love you Dad.
This sad song makes me so sad, I will have it played at my funeral, just to remind my children, that they always came first with me. At 84 years, my time is running out, I recall the days I could life a 200 pound bag of wheat over my head, today I am lucky if I can get my arms over my head.
i miss my old Man, 7 years ago he is gone My Fahter ,Grandfahter.......
This is my first year without my Dad. His brother shared this and I never heard it before.
I've been in floods of tears x so beautiful
My dad was 96, died 7 months ago. First Father's day without him. Sure miss him. This song is perfect.
Very very powerful for me. 6 weeks ago my amazing Dad passed away and a it's like a knife in the heart to think I will never see him or hear his laugh again . Death knows no respect. R.I.P John Jack McGibney my dad my hero. :(
I an sitting here crying my eyes out. I just had lunch with my Dad, who is 93. I will live this song out before long.
I just pray that my two sons feel this way about me when my time comes. (From all indications, they will.)
My dad passed away November 2018. I miss my best friend and old man so much. Awesome memories though. I always cry when I listen to this song ❤
My Father is gone some years now, but he taught how to teach and lead by example.
I now see my own son doing the same....I guess that is what it is really all about...immitation is the highest form of praise...God Bless you Dad ..I miss you still !!
First time I have heard this song - as the tears slowly ran from John's eyes, I felt tears welling up in my own. This song expresses how I feel about MY father, now dead for 8 years, and the things left unsaid. He would have been 103 this coming Tuesday. I miss you, Dad!
My dad passed in 1985, and yet this still brings me to tears even today. John brings back the love, respect, and feelings I will never forget.
I lost my Dd to cancer in January 2024 I had some time with him before he passed .I made my peace told him he made me a man and how sorry I was for things I did growing up miss him everyday love you dad .Till we meet again may the road rise to meet you may the wind always be at your back and till we meet again may god hold you in the palm of his hand.
Oh how I wish I had been able to have these memories.
My dad passed away 23 years ago I was 7 but never forget him and remember so much and came across this and word for word matches us miss you not my old man my dad... Funny my names John so was my dad's
I hear you Robert. My dad died 15 years ago today, when I was 11 and reminds me so much of him. I still love you dad!
You will see him again.
Oh, I miss my father...my teacher, my dance partner, my encourager... How I miss him so!
I buried my father yesterday. We watched so many of your concerts online and I played your music for him in his last days. He was such a fan. I may not be able to listen to you for awhile John McDermott but you haven't lost me as a fan.
A timeless song and fantastic version by John McDermott. Original words and music by Phil Coulter.
And I miss him the Old Man. I HATED ANYONECALLING MY FATHER THE OLD man.
But John McDermott has put all my feelings down that I could not express, 8th Generation Irish from Tipperary! My Dad was 85 but I was not ready to lose him he taught me so much its six weeks on and its getting worse! I keep playing this song over and over again when I get a chance to be on my own! I loved you Dad and thank yu John for expressing what I was incapable of saying!!XX
Beautiful reminds me my Dad who passed away 24 years ago .my sister and I saw John McDermott in Cape Breton Nova Scotia many years ago he is aboustely a awesome singer very nice man Beautiful song John awesome singer ❤❤❤❤
my Dad since1997 and my Mom since 1991 and I miss them like it was yesterday. May they rest in peace.
Beauitfull brings back so many happy days with my father gone over to years now heart broken wish for just one second to see my old man
love this song so much, id give my life for just 5 mins to feel, see and hug my old man. i miss my king so damn much it hurts me more than i ever been hurt before.xxx RIP dad.
Still makes my eyes wet, John. Back in 2001, when dad and I attended your concert, the mere thought of losing my dad listening to you sing this song put a mist in my eyes. Little did I know it was our final years together. This song was why I couldn't come into your concert in 2003, just after he passed. Here we are, 20 years later, and I need tissues when I listen to it still. Somewhere in me there is a piece of him. I see it now that I'm a father. I wish I had a second chance to tell him thanks for everything he's done. God bless, John
I play this video every single day, sometimes more than once. I also miss my Dad so much. I saw John perform this song in Kingston, Canada in Dec '08 and I cried through the whole song. He is a fantastic performer and has the most beautiful voice. I love his music so much. Look forward to seeing him again next year. Thank you John.
I love John McDermott, & the Irish Tenors. I also love this song. I feel how stong the feeling is in this song. I love my Dad so much. He & I didn't talk much about things liek that......but it was there. Now it's too late, but I do believe he knows, as I do. I am in tears now because .....I never will forget him, for he made me what I am I miss him....the old man. John McDermott has a special way of allowing you to feel. Sometimes that's a luxury that you just can't always allow.
I do the same for my dad's anniversary 8 years this year miss him so much ❤️❤️
My Dearest Dad passed away in April 2014. I sang this song in Church on Father's Day 2 months later. I thought I'll never make it through but I prayed for his help. He did! There was not a dry eye in the house. I love you Dad and I miss you!
My dad left to be with his Mom & Dad , brothers and his sister Febuary 6, 2015. And this was and is the best song that fits my dad. God bless and miss you always.
I cry everytime I hear him sing this song. I miss my father also. (passed on Dec. 1979). In one performance I saw a tear off his rt. eye, as he concluded his singing.
I'm 65 now and my dad died in 1983 at 56. Where did the time go? This song tugs at my heart the most. I'm disabled and dad used to take me hunting. I had some of the best times of my life there w/him--it seems like only yesterday...
My Father-in-law died just 9 days ago. My own dad died 50 years ago. My FIL played a big part of my life for over 47 years. Saying goodbye is so very hard to do. I know we’ll be together again but it seems like it’s so far away. I miss you John and thank you for loving me.
I so love this song. I lost my dad 1&1/2 years ago. Now my mom has been diagnosed with stage four cancer of the lungs and liver. They shared 52 years of marriage and soon she will be with him again.
This makes me cry every single time I watch it. :(
He's crying as he sings...how wonderfully moving...🤗🇦🇺
December 4th 2006, I lost one of the most important people to me, my Grandfather. His request was this song was played at his funeral. I love this song more than anything. It reminds me so much of him, and makes me wish he was here beside me watching 'Coach's Corner' and collecting the McDonalds hockey cards... Not a day goes by I don't think of him. Everytime i listen to this song my tattoo I have for him itches.
6 months today since Dad died... we listened to this a lot as I looked after him the last 2 & 1/2 years of his life. I never will forget him... for he made me what I am,
though he may be gone, memories linger on.. and I miss him, MY old man. Mitsy#9
I never had children until 12 years ago . Then lost my rock my father and my 13 year old son. I miss both. My son used to call old man.
This was taped soon after John's father passed away. His sister was in the audience that night which added to the emotion of the song. One of John's best performances. John has come a long way in his great career. I was at his first "concert" in the US, which was free and attended by about 120 people. I have met John several times and wish him continued success. My Dad is 83 years old and this song tears at my heart knowing that I might someday be without him.
I lost my dad on February 25, 2012. My eyes cannot shed more tears. He was a great man, a provider, and served his country in WWII. His generation is the "PROUD" generation. I am so lucky to have enriched his life. At 89 he died with dignity and pride. God Bless all the fathers and the strong sons & daughters who support them in time of need. :)
Age does not matter when it is your dad passing on. You are lucky to get to 60 with your dad still living, and long may it continue. My dad died at 78, two years after my mam passed on. And I grieved and mourned more over my dad's passing than I did over my mam's passing. I can only think that I grieved for both when Dad died. Keep them while they are alive and love them when they pass on. And we do love our dads and mams too, forever and we light little candles in their memories, forever.
Your father would have been so proud and touched by those sentiments, John. On behalf of all sons who loved their fathers we thank you.
This is my brother and I first year without our dad on fathers day
@@jane798 You have my sincerest condolences and empathy. My father died in December 2000, just weeks away from his 72nd birthday. I still weep from time to time thinking about him but smile much more at his memory. So too will your grief subside and your recollections of him will sustain you both. In reality he will never leave you so long as there is love in your heart for him.
This song is done so well by John. It is evident how much love there was between the two. It is truly a tribute to fathers and a reminder to all to appreciate the moments spent together that are so precious and never to forget them after they are gone.
My Dad would have been 81 today. 5 1/2 years may have passed but I'll never forget him...This song means so much to me and my brother. It's so true and still makes me cry...God Bless you Dad xxx
Thank you. My Dad just passed away two days ago. A friend sent me this and it means a great deal. What a tribute. Thank you!!!!!!!!!
My Da taught me to play the guitar, and inspired me to become a musician. He was a real cowboy and country singer, and I miss him every day. This is a sweet song, and I am going to learn this ... thanks for posting.
Every year I come to this song on this day. I miss my old man too. Thank you for such a moving song.
This song was sang at my grandas funeral. 8 Years On The 8th Of Spetember. 2 Days After My Dad His Sons Birthday. And Was Only With Us The Day B4 He Passed. Love You Always Granda. xOx
I sang this at a family reunion once and it absolutely made my night to see my mother and aunt(my late father's sister) holding hands with tears in their eyes. I could hear them both thinking the same, that he'd be proud of me. Big strong men, don't ever be afraid to show your emotion, that night has probably been the only time I've ever been able to sing that song with out crying, even just a little. We need to laugh and cry all in the same breath.
Thank you so much Johnny I miss my Dad so much !You bring him back to me!
I'll never stop missing him. Gone for 45 years and it still seems like yesterday. John reminds me every time I hear this rendition just how much I miss "My Old Man". Thank you John! You have immortalized My Dad! I miss you and love you dad.
I dedicate this to my old man - my dear father who died 2003 - and I really miss him. This is such a wonderful song and rendition. Thank you John!
You will see him again.
6 years ago I lost my best friend!! This song is so autobiographical about the relationship with my dad!! I miss him everyday!!!
I remember when my grandfather died. I was only in first grade but I remember it. My cousin sang this at his funeral. It was the only time I have ever seen my daddy cry. But I love this song. Makes me think of my grandfather.
I was and will always be unashamedly a "daddy's boy". My daddy loved me fiercely, and I knew it. 18 1/2 years ago I held him in my arms as he passed, and as he passed, he took a part of my heart with him. Until my dying breath, I will love and remember my precious daddy.
Que d'émotions cette chanson me procurent. La première fois que je l'ai entendue, c'était avec George Donaldson (RIP march 2014) principal chanteur de "Celtic Thunder" Depuis, elle revient souvent dans mes écoutes. Mais comment peut-on chanter cette mélodie sans avoir une émotion tellement grande que les larmes brouillent la vue. L'émotion se lit sur les visages. Fermons les yeux.
My father's been gone 18 years. I miss him so!!!!
John has always been so special. I love his voice. And I love emotion every time he sings this song
This sound most of all the tear running down this cheek
I am 60, My Dad is 89. I know he won't be here much longer and I will miss him when the Lord takes him home. My wife wants me to learn this song. I won't be able to sing it as well as John McDermott but I'll do my best.
I felt so sorry for john when he sang this song, when you look closely you can see tears on his face and you can tell he is having to fight back wanting to cry, and I have to admit I cry when I listen to it as I think of my parents, and I dedicate this to the memory of my father who passed away in 86 and my mother who passed away in 73
My dad and I weren't close when I was a youngster but when he passed I felt a void in my life and heart. I have tried to have a different relationship with my two daughters so they will have a wonderful memory of us when my day comes to move onto the hereafter. God Bless Them.
Another beautiful song, brings tears to my eyes each time I hear it. He puts his heart into this song. Miss my dad so much.
A teacher, MY BEST FRIEND! Love you Dad and miss you, every minute of every day. 😢
Finally got to see John in St Albert last night. Fantastic show. Lost my father last year in April, this song brings back all those memories and feelings. Live it is so beautiful.
This song my father used to play (more for my benefit) in his last months of lung cancer. He had a breathing tube he desparatly cried out to me to put it in his nose. "Oxegen!" "Oxegen!" I loved him so much but I was so burnt out one time I put my fingers to his nose in a vein attempt to put him out of his misery. Now when i hear this song there is remorse yet healing. I know hed forgive me. I love you Daddy.
6'3" 17 stone and I'm crying my eyes out here. 10 years gone and that hole will never be filled. The most decent honest intelligent funny man I have ever known and a fantastic teacher. RIP Dad...'Ar dheis De go raibh a anam'
StillTheBest1980. This song makes me cry like a baby.
By the way, I'm also 6'3".
StillTheBest1980 My dad's been gone for nearly 26 years now. Life's rough without a dad. He'd be 95 this March.
Nothin wrong with that, mate. It show you've got heart and appreciate the gifts that really matter in this short life.
Just shows, that within that 6'3" frame, there IS a heart. Mine is gone 17 years now, would have been 99 had he still been alive. Wouldn't want him back here, but I WILL see him (and mum) someday.
My dad been gone 14 years I still bawl over this song
Dad's gone 6 years today. I'll miss him always. He loved this song. It never fails to make me smile, and cry as well.
my dad was a scot and this song says it all. i got to be the one to see this great man out. fly, daddy, fly.
I miss my Irish Dad terribly and I sing this song often!It brings him back to me.Thank you so much!
It is over 25 years ago when my dad passed away, my mother grieved for him till she went to be with him in 2012.
Seems like forever since I first heard this song..played for Curt..reminded him of his relationship with his Dad..now he has also left me...almost a year ago when he was taken by God....guess he was needed in Heaven at that time...hope this song will always remind or family of you...R I P..dearest one...always, Nancy...
i thought hed live forever he seemed so big and strong.. the beauty of this song is my father is also John Mc Dermott... 2 years now and its like yesterday. miss you xx
My dearest Dad passed away april 30 2012 I heard this song for the first time today and cried along with John only wish i had known this song earlier i would have played it for Dad at his funeral .Love you forever my dear Dad
Miss my dad more each day and this song brings it home to me. Rest in peace dad.
I lost my Dd to cancer a month ago .I wasn't there the night he passed . H was a great man I wish I had more time to tell I love him .
This is such a lovely song. Exactly what I liked to tell my dad (RIP) now,
Got something in my eyes. bye now!
It's been 4years since my dad passed away and I still miss him so much 😪😪😪 This song is sung so beautifully!!
This wull bring a tear to yur eye, the Scots accent great, sung superbly and John ment every word, allways cry when I sing this. Slainte
I miss all the things my old man could have been but wasn't, all the things he could have done but didnt, and all the things he did, but shouldn't.
He was a lesson.
I tried to be all the things he wasn't, do all the things he didnt, and none of the things he shouldn't.
I hope I've succeeded.
i love this song so much, i play and sing in a band and can
t bring myself to learn it i would vry every time i'd have to sing it
I'm missing my lovely wife Myra she passed over on 12th April 2019 and I'm sitting here crying my bloody eyes out as the the songs are virtually ripping the guts out of this 83 year old man. OH! What a voice; what feeling and OH! What compassion Dr. Patrick James Goss, Doctor of Humanities
Patrick Goss Sorry for your loss sir.
Patrick, so sorry about your wife - whenever I hear this song I recall all the good things of those I've lost. My Old Man and One Shining Star are two of most beautiful and sad songs ever written
i miss you dad
My dad was just diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and I am bawling like a baby listening to this song. I love you dad and I'm not ready to say goodbye.
I lost my dad in 1971--I was in the navy and didn't have the chance to say goodbye but seldom a day passes that he and I are as one--I'm now 80 and my time is almost up--my wish is that he and I meet again.
fantastic song, I love it only herd the song for the first time last night. and i love it. I lost my dad on 9th of December 2012. I miss him so much
Don't know who could do it better. My dad's been gone for almost 30 years now, and I'm still choking up at this performance. I hope my son will say the same when I'm gone.
Lost my Dad last week, keep playing this song, Beautifull RIP Dad
I used to listen to this song and think of how I'd feel the day that my dad was gone. Well, that day came on the 1st October 2019, and I've been more heartbroken than I ever could have imagined.
I hope you're watching over us all dad.
Love you forever, your boy.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I knew it was coming, but nothing prepares you for that day.
