    Still miss my mother, and we used to listen to this song together because she remembered it from her youth.

    A superb rendition of the 1898 James Thornton song. Probably the best interpretation and certainly the best musicianship. If it does not bring tears to your eyes you are not of this world.

    My greatest friend died today, we used to sing this in the pub on a weekend and have the whole place singalong, I will miss him, my friend, my listener, my voice of reason, my second dad, sleep tight Jim, miss you man.

    Met my wife just before her 16th birthday in 1974 , this song expresses just how i feel for her , we've gone through a lot both good and bad but always seem to weather the storm, as we approach retirement i can only look forward to the rest of our lives together, this was an al time fave of my dearly departed mum

    Way back at the turn of the last century, John Thornton was a vaudaville performer, his wife asked him "John, do you still love me"? he replied "I love you as I loved you when you were sweet sixteen". She replied "Wow, that sounds like a song, you should write one. He took up the gauntlet and the rest as they say is History. At the time, it was the first song to sell a Million sheet music copies. Al Jolson made it popular in his day...

    I first heard this version of the song a long time ago. It used to make me actually sob. I didn't know why. Now I think I know. It's Finbar's voice. It has the same effect on me with his older voice.
