Lyrics:
I wish you love - and happiness
I guess I wish - you all the best
I wish you don't - do like I do
And never fall in love with someone like you
Cause if you fell - just like I did
You'd probably walk around the block like a little kid
But kids don't know - they can only guess
How hard it is - to wish you happiness
I guess that love - is like a Christmas card
You decorate a tree - you throw it in the yard
It decays and dies - and the snowmen melt
Well, I once knew love - I knew how love felt
Yeah I knew love - love knew me
And when I walked - love walked with me
And I got no hate - and I got no pride
Well, I got so much love that I cannot hide
Yeah, I got so much love that I cannot hide
Say you drive a Chevy - say you drive a Ford
Say you drive around the town 'till you just get bored
Then you change you mind - for something else to do
And your heart gets bored with your mind and it changes you
Well it's a doggone shame - and it's an awful mess
I wish you love - I wish you happiness
I wish you love - I wish you happiness
I guess I wish - you all the best
One of the BEST if not THE BEST performances on the Letterman show!
THE BEST, by FAR.
John Prine best singer songwriter ever to live IMO. He got his wings. I picture him singing this to us from above. My hero.
You're not lying....
You are so correct! Absolutely the best including being a wonderful person.
I do love him but the best? Heck, I’ll save that word for toasters and blenders.
I often watch this performance. It makes me wonder how many fans he made that night. Many had probably never heard John. When you love Prine, it's impossible to imagine hearing him live and not becoming one of us. Miss you Old Friend, thank God you left us so much.
R.I.P. Mr Pine you were better than you would ever have thought trust me you were.. Sadly I dont think you ever got
to grips with how good you were ? But you were a good person and I gues thats all that really matters ??
Acoustic instruments, real voices, no Autotune. Parents get your kids. They need to hear what real music sounds like.
@@silverviscin Most of the music today is electronically enhanced, autotuned voices. 90 percent of the music today is crap. Do you still call someone a singer if they lip sync their concerts. I don't.
@@silverviscin It's not an exaggeration at all. Most of the popular music is crap.
@@markrichards6863 this is what true music is all about, from the heart
I was in the crowd for this show... absolutely amazing... May of 2010.
Wow lucky you!
Lucky man
Wait, I thought Taylor Swift was good music??
shit one lucky dude !!!!
This is difficult to watch through the tears of past regrets, heartache and the pain of dreams unfulfilled
Deep
This is just heaven
It’s so beautiful
John Prine should be carved into Mt. Rushmore
Edward Moriarty
True. 👍
Ha! Yes sir he should!
LOL. I have to agree totally
You are so right!!!
That is an extraordinary idea. Thank you, really.
I have not had tears in my eyes like this, John Lennon made me cry and now I cry again for a great soul. Love ya peacker head.
So do I !!!!!!!!!!! Even though I live in France........Saw John in a park in London in the seventies! taught his songs to my students!
I cried when I heard both had died. I’ll never forget! Souvenirs.....has brought me tears a few times. Mostly, joyous tears though!
Absolutely man, I never heard so many people say they cried on the terrible news and pretty much every time we hear him since. I cry too , and sadly his great friend and Guitar accompanying (1980's and some 90's, plus lots of guest appearances) "Clontarf Cowboy" Philip Donnelly passed just a few months before John . I hope they all in a great place . ❤️❤️🙏☘️
I want to cry anytime I hear his songs. Takes me back to the 1970s when I first discovered his music. We were all young then. Gives me wonderful memories.
About death and what it really is, see John 5;28&29,Revelation 21;3&4, Isaiah 26;19, Acts 24;15 & Daniel 12;2&13. Yeah, the Romans lied to us
John was the BEST! Thank you and miss you, John ❤
He wrote many great songs in this one has to be up there near the top
This and YOU'VE GOT GOLD...
I watched this when it aired and it was the first time I realized country music is good. RIP John Prine.
aalmeida259 was this performance where I became a big fan. Embarrassed to say didn’t hear of him before. RIP
I never paid much mind to John Prine's music til after his death and now I feel kind of sad after thinking about all the music I will never get to hear and feel live. What a great singer/songwriter he was.
Jim James has a special voice.
It sounds like it’s coming straight from heaven.
Pure genius and open heart
Magical, mesmorizing, heart-breaking, gut-wrenching, beautiful...all those things that go into being a human❤💔❤
Saw him last year in Dublin with my family, my son plays his music and it makes so proud to be his mom, great guy,great great songs and great show
Became a fan after his death sadly.
I cannot stop watching and listening to this... can't stop crying either!!
Me too. Always watching this and tearing up. Beautiful song that is sung so well and John Prine was the beautiful soul that wrote it.
John was the best, and a great & humble man.
I recently became a Prine fan. He is simply the great!
I beautiful discovery, welcome. He changed my live some twenty years ago. 🎁🎸🎼🎤
Punnipa H. Fan since 1972. Listen to every one of his tracks......he's a genius.
oof
Same happened to me!
I love how those acoustic guitar lines are interwoven.
Love, love, love. And the Late Show with David Letterman recorded so beautifully songs that are treasures, like this one. Thank you all.
Dave knew good music.
Kentucky in the house. RIP Mr Prine
"All the Best" in "Paradise," John!
John Prine is the coolest Dude in the world!
I have seen him 4 times in concert, man he is THE best!
You said it buddy, best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪 .
Love John Prine ❤️ 🇺🇲
Jim James has an amazing voice and the GREAT John Prine!
Love you, and all you did for us John. Rest In Peace.
wow two of my favorite artists and I never knew this existed
Saw him live many times, going back to when we were both young. He was like a friend I hadn't seen a lot of lately but remember so well from the good old days. It hurts to know he's gone. Thanks for the good times, John. I know you didn't have a flag decal but I hope your artistry and humanity got you into heaven without one. RIP John Prine.
would have given a lot to see him live, but his songs are in my life and my mind forever, hear them for more than 30 years now..............
Yes, theres so many of us JP fans hurting so bad right now. Sending prayers out to his family, the band, and anyone else in his close circle. I think he would be happy to see all of the new fans that are coming on board after his death. His music will certainly live on. I'm thankful for his music and contributions to humanity. Will never forgot the concerts I was fortunate enough to attend. Thanks John. You were truly a great guy.
I've been listening to John since around 1978 and he's definitely made a profound impact on my life.
Saw John In Dublin on seven occasions...what a trouper...what an incredible loss. Tom Gilsenan
Well said Tom 👍
Greatest Storyteller of all time and one of the greatest voices of nowadays... Love you John and Jim
John's songs got me through many a rough patch . this one more than most.. :)
more beautiful than can be described in words
I did this for my grand daughters rap friends. They were spellbound. Totally rad. They finally heard music.
A wonderful old soul, John Prine.
Wishing John all the best, never knew he played with Jim James till now, get well John.
John Prine always terrific! Rest in peace John and God bless everyone from Patrick

Thanks Dave
Heart rending, especially Jim's performance.
Superb.

John Prine IS great. The album version of him singing this song is a better version though. It generates the emotion and feeling
What a man .om

...Jim wouldn't be there if John didn't want him there and he didn't absolutely deserve it...you can all kindly shut up now...

They will accompany your new tunes with their harps and clap their wings
🐫🐫🐫🐫🐫🐫🐫🐫🐫🐫❤❤❤❤❤ 3:19
Really, any thumbs down, please post yourself playing anything better.
"How bout that guy.." Yeah...Fuckin John Prine...that's who!!!. Ol Sarge...
is the young man in the background Prine's son?
No, that's Jason Wilbur, his guitarist of 20+ years. He's a singer-songwriter as well.
@@jameshickey7516 aka the man that never ages. Jason looked 15 for 40 years it seems lol
Does this remind anyone else a bit of the MMJ song Get the Point?
YES..Jim James spoils it !!
Derek barter .thank you.
Jim James spoils it !!
+tbrooker7 How can you say that?
Neither one of them spoil it. It is very well put together.
Both did great,
I agree tbrooker7...It is John Prine's song, best sung by him, this is a mess.

John seemed tired
Broken hearts and dirty women 😮
I'm sure Jim James has his own fan base that loves his style, but it seems to me that he isn't a proper fit for the song. Or perhaps he should have performed it separately from John, so their styles didn't conflict with one another.
Great comment... Excellent voice but an awkward fit with John Prine on this song
As soon as jj opens his mouth I'm taken out of the song. It's a shame.
Y'all 3 are high. Beautiful combo
@@garrettneumann448 it's actually awesome how much their vocals fit so perfectly together during this performance.
Jim covered this song for a John Prine tribute album. John didn’t play on the song on the album with Jim. His own interpretation.
