Diane it has been 9 months since pancreate cancer took you away from me I was watching overboard your favorite movie today and I heard Randy Newman singing a song at the end tried to find it online but found this song. as I listen to the song my heart is tearing apart I miss you so much every day I find a little secret place in the house just to go and cry so the kids can't see me I know that the amount of grief I carry in my heart is equal to the amount of love I carried for you it will never end But I want to know my love I am so grateful God put us together and you chose me.....I miss you so much my beautiful angel.
It's been 10 years for me too. The debilitating grief has dissipated some, and I can now look back with fondness. It's not about what we've lost, it's about what we had. And we, apparently, had it pretty good. Be well.
Sorry for your loss. This is a wonderful song to remember her by. I can't believe my wife chose me.! I suppose when you find someone you love, it always feels like that. Like you are lucky to have someone who wanted you as much as you wanted them. Best wishes.
Pancreatic cancer took you away from me June 8th 2022, will love you for ever and thank you for choosing me and making our 35 years together just wonderful,sleep in peace my love.
This hits so close to home for me. I have been married now for 35 years to a woman who made my life what it is today. I have had a successful career,raised two stunning daughters, and achieved respect from those I work for, with, and most everyone I know. And its all because of her, and I swear that everyday, I do not know for the love of God why she chose me. Thank you my dearest.
I'm not much to talk to and I know how I look What I know about life comes out of a book But of all of the people there are in the world, She chose me. Most of my life, I've been all my own Whenever I did, I did it alone And then she came along Now I'm not alone Since she chose me. Every night I thank the lucky stars above me That someone as beautiful as she could really love me And she really loves me. From time to time I ask myself why was it I And nobody else? The most beautiful girl that I'd ever seen And she chose me. And she really loves me. From time to time I ask myself why was it I And not someone else? The most beautiful girl In all of the world And she chose me.
Randy Newman has consistently written some of the world's most beautiful songs throughout his entire life,enabling me to understand my entire life.He is a true American treasure.Thanks so much,from me.
While everyone is shedding tears through their sweet stories, here I am, feeling sad deep inside, thinking when will I have someone who is so grateful for my being in this world as this song describes.
I’m grateful that you expressed my same feelings. I’m no longer the person I was once because I’ve have so much to my family yet they don’t treat me with the same respect. I’m honestly trapped here because I haven’t the energy or bravery to do anything about it. I’ve tried but . But I’m too tired of it all
What a gift....lucky woman. Randy's ability to put one note (the right note) next to another note ...and one word (the right word) next to another word is the greatest gift of all.
This man could melt uranium with simple words and heart felt music. There is simply no one alive who writes like this. Maybe not since Schubert. A treasure.
One of the great musical cons of the past several decades has been Randy Newman putting out album after album of art song and passing them off as pop records.
I first heard this song several years ago when Randy wrote several songs for the initial episode of Cop Rock. I'm glad he finally recorded his own version.
Yes it does! I had the same thought. I assume you know he wrote that song too. I believe he wrote this one first even though it was released in this album much later.
the story of my life and me, also a lady that I met in more recent times, then were seperated by circumstances this song by Randy just rips me apart, heartfelt
didnt he used to be randy newman americas finest songwriter everybody loved him then rewrote him out musical history well suckers hes back as good as if not better than ever and in these dark days we need his biting satire more than ever
This song in past tense is killing me. I hope the girl who chose me is doing well, and has managed to move on to someone as beautiful as she was. I'm sorry for what I had to do.
Really, all the times you made me tear up, you really do have a talent for evoking emotion. Then I hear this, and the well springs up. Thank you very much, dammit.
I'm not much to talk to and I know how I look What I know about life comes out of a book But of all of the people, there are in the world She chose me Most of my life, been on my own Whatever I did, I did it alone And then she came alone, now I'm not alone Since she chose me Every night I thank the lucky stars above me That someone as beautiful as she could really love me And she really loves me From time to time, I ask myself Why was it I and nobody else? The most beautiful girl that I'd ever seen And she chose me And she really loves me From time to time, I ask myself Why was it I and not someone else? The most beautiful girl in all of the world And she chose me
To: Jessica aka Yellow Sherbert aka 2019 World "Passion" Dance Champion aka my love, my everything, my fleeting suburban chariot.. I walked alone and drifted 20 years searching for the same love you showed me at age 15.. after you lost your mother and our lives were separated, I never had a month go by without thinking of you. But as the many years past, I firmly believed that it was just another "young love" story that I would keep to myself or tell my children about when they got older lol. For years I thought you had moved to another city/state as you had done before.. But then your father died.. And you came back home. Little did I know that at age 35 our lives would unexpectedly cross paths again.. we never knew our daughters were friends at the same school, much less knew that we had children at the same age going to the same schools lol.. Two years later.. a few coffee dates, some crazy slumber parties with the kiddos and look at us now.. it took almost 25 years, the intervention of our childrens friendship and some hardships between all of this to bring us back together. The rewards of coparenting and knowing someone truly, unconditionally loves and accepts me for who I am is absolutely, undeniably life changing. The odds of this actually happening.. this wonderfully romantic, beautifully tragic and almost impossible story of our love will always be remembered. Through our love, our children witness something truly beautiful and healthy... something they will always remember and hold as the gold standard for their relationships.. its timeless and priceless. Thank you for choosing me, Jessica. I cant imagine my life without you.. From high school to this moment.. I love you because you reflected and still continue to define everything beautiful to me.
At 14 you came into my life and showed me everything my young heart still wanted to believe but had been taught by the world around me didn’t exist. You taught me there was such thing as innocence, beauty in youth, understanding and unconditional love. I cherished and loved every min of it but when my mom died, it died as well. I couldn’t hold on to it any more. After over 20 years of living in that hard hearted place surrounded by walls and finally the death of my dad , I so needed to believe in it all again and there you were. You’ve showed me love like no other; unwavering and unconditional. You’ve valued me so much that I’ve been forced to value myself in all the ways I did but was unsure I deserved. That never left me even in my darkest times, I knew I meant more than I felt, to someone. To you. And here you are, proving to me once again that I deserve the love you’ve always given. You are my everything. I gladly choose you. If I could live a million lives I’d choose you every time. I really am the luckiest girl in the world.
How is it a man with such a cynical and biting wit, also be able to write some of the most sweet, beautiful, and touching music ?? Just doesnt compute! Would love to meet him, but would also be kinda intimidated !!!
Bruno major does a beautiful cover of this, if you like this song you should definitely check it out! Randy really has some of the best song writing chops out there

Thank you for sharing that with us all. I am an old man with long memories.Your story is deep.
This reminds me of my late wife... Even though she's been gone for a decade now, I am still amazed she chose me!
It's been 10 years for me too. The debilitating grief has dissipated some, and I can now look back with fondness. It's not about what we've lost, it's about what we had. And we, apparently, had it pretty good. Be well.

Hopefully she rest in peace
This comment made me tear up. ❤😥
Pancreatic cancer took you away from me June 8th 2022, will love you for ever and thank you for choosing me and making our 35 years together just wonderful,sleep in peace my love.
Randy is the king of simple lyrics that hit so hard.
Agree. And thats saying a lot ❤
This hits so close to home for me. I have been married now for 35 years to a woman who made my life what it is today. I have had a successful career,raised two stunning daughters, and achieved respect from those I work for, with, and most everyone I know. And its all because of her, and I swear that everyday, I do not know for the love of God why she chose me. Thank you my dearest.
I have a new favorite song by Randy Newman.
I'm 62, and one day ... one day ... I'd like to be able to sing it for my someone.
One day.
your comment really touch me. I really hope u find the one💛💛💛💛💛
@@rahajengainanurrahmah1090 ❤
I've had two women in my life, that I have loved. Each chose me, but then chose someone else.
I'm not much to talk to and I know how I look
What I know about life comes out of a book
But of all of the people there are in the world,
She chose me.
Most of my life, I've been all my own
Whenever I did, I did it alone
And then she came along
Now I'm not alone
Since she chose me.
Every night I thank the lucky stars above me
That someone as beautiful as she could really love me
And she really loves me.
From time to time
I ask myself why was it I
And nobody else?
The most beautiful girl that I'd ever seen
And she chose me.
And she really loves me.
From time to time
I ask myself why was it I
And not someone else?
The most beautiful girl
In all of the world
And she chose me.
this is so idk heartwarming and sincere and beautiful all at once. lyrics cannot be written any better.
This song makes the world just a bit more beautiful. Thanks, Randy.
More than a bit, buddy. More than a bit.
Randy Newman has consistently written some of the world's most beautiful songs throughout his entire life,enabling me to understand my entire life.He is a true American treasure.Thanks so much,from me.
One of the most beautiful songs Randy has ever written..
While everyone is shedding tears through their sweet stories, here I am, feeling sad deep inside, thinking when will I have someone who is so grateful for my being in this world as this song describes.
I can only think about the wonderful woman I lost because I wasn't strong and brave enough to fight for her!
You will find someday, this song makes me remember the day she said yes to be my first and hopefully the last girlfriend.
I’m grateful that you expressed my same feelings. I’m no longer the person I was once because I’ve have so much to my family yet they don’t treat me with the same respect. I’m honestly trapped here because I haven’t the energy or bravery to do anything about it. I’ve tried but . But I’m too tired of it all
All I can say is I understand
if „she really“ loves you - what would you ever have to ‚fight‘ for?
trust, my friend - even better will arise.
Again, this man makes me cry.
Brian Frederick
Every time! Straight to the heart.
I swear I am not crying, it's just that when I listen to this song my eyes cannot hold the water content anymore for some strange reason ......
It's those darn onions....
I teared up on first listen. Incredible.
What a gift....lucky woman. Randy's ability to put one note (the right note) next to another note ...and one word (the right word) next to another word is the greatest gift of all.
He seemed to purposefully change the cadence but keep the feel of "when somebody loved me". I like it.
Why can't more music be like this? Absolutely astounding. I love it
It used to be. Young people threw it away for rock and rap.
This album is fantastic ,highly recommended listening.
This man could melt uranium with simple words and heart felt music. There is simply no one alive who writes like this. Maybe not since Schubert. A treasure.
One of the great musical cons of the past several decades has been Randy Newman putting out album after album of art song and passing them off as pop records.
Randy, I hope you now how important your music has been for so many. No one deserves love more than you, pal.
Found the song for 1st dance at my wedding, cheers Rand
This may be the sweetest song I've ever heard. I'm blown away Randy. Keep up the spectacular work.
It’s like the mirror of When She Loved Me
Beautiful writing ,delivery , chords ,melody , singing , story - everything is so good.
This is the next great love song in the American Songbook.
My God, how beautiful.
Beautiful...just beautiful, heartfelt simplicity. A perfect song.
Simply astonishing song.
Just think what a song like this must do to a man who hasn't been chosen...
same here from girl perspective
i like that point. very good
this album has made me cry so friggin much! I dont cry often mind you.
I first heard this song several years ago when Randy wrote several songs for the initial episode of Cop Rock. I'm glad he finally recorded his own version.
I getting married in June 2022. This song makes me cry like a a little baby. RIP Mr. Newman. We need more people like you.
He’s still alive
Also still alive.
What a beautiful song. Thanks Randy
Yes indeed, this is so simple yet incredibly poignant
I heard this for the first time today. It's wonderful, simply and utterly wonderful.
Thank you for this beautiful song. It reminds me of "You are the one."
just heard this on David Dye show!! i am in love with Randy all over again!
This song is beautiful, I can't stop listening to this :)
So beautiful.
does this remind anyone else of Toy Story 2's When She Loved Me? and yet...not...I adore both those songs!
Yes it does! I had the same thought. I assume you know he wrote that song too. I believe he wrote this one first even though it was released in this album much later.
Jessie's song is utterly heartbreaking
I find the melodies are quite similar to each other, so when I first heard it, I couldn't help but think of "When She Loved Me" from Toy Story.
Timeless. A love so sweet described as only Randy Newman can.
Thanks Randy
So beautiful ♥️ 😢
If you want to be king for a day, have them play this at your wedding. You might get lucky.
God bless you Randy. You are an American treasure.
the story of my life and me, also a lady that I met in more recent times, then were seperated by circumstances this song by Randy just rips me apart, heartfelt
He's all i ever wanted!
I mean GOD ist all i EVER wanted 😉
didnt he used to be randy newman americas finest songwriter everybody loved him then rewrote him out musical history well suckers hes back as good as if not better than ever and in these dark days we need his biting satire more than ever
He never went away. Always been one of the greatest of all time.
Tears
Still crazy after all these years
Wow its my first time. One of my best beautiful songs ever
one of my all time favorite wedding songs
40 seconds in and i start crying omh
This originally was used in the television show Cop Rock. Amazingly beautiful song. So simple and yet so moving.
He understands love.
A great bookend to When Somebody Loved Me.
He played this on Prairie Home Companion last night. So sweet.
What a sweet song, Randy! Loved it!!
This song in past tense is killing me. I hope the girl who chose me is doing well, and has managed to move on to someone as beautiful as she was. I'm sorry for what I had to do.
Love this song thank you Randy ❤❤,
Very special song.tanks randy
I'm touched
Really, all the times you made me tear up, you really do have a talent for evoking emotion. Then I hear this, and the well springs up. Thank you very much, dammit.
Genius
splendide ! Merci
I'm not much to talk to and I know how I look
What I know about life comes out of a book
But of all of the people, there are in the world
She chose me
Most of my life, been on my own
Whatever I did, I did it alone
And then she came alone, now I'm not alone
Since she chose me
Every night I thank the lucky stars above me
That someone as beautiful as she could really love me
And she really loves me
From time to time, I ask myself
Why was it I and nobody else?
The most beautiful girl that I'd ever seen
And she chose me
And she really loves me
From time to time, I ask myself
Why was it I and not someone else?
The most beautiful girl in all of the world
And she chose me
Un gioiellino ❣️
I love this song
Masterpiece 🎼🎼
Great song. Great lyrics.
Stunning
I miss you babe. I love you forever and a day.
Gracias!
Beautiful, Randy!!!!
Superb
Many of you got to this from toy story, not a bad place to start, only wanted to say he is much more, he can make you cry without animation, go listen
Cop Rock! My wife and I LOVE that show!

This should defiantly be in Toy Story 4.
I'm here for Bruno Major cover's, so good
Why am I crying? I don't even have a girl.
i love you kara
How is it a man with such a cynical and biting wit, also be able to write some of the most sweet, beautiful, and touching music ?? Just doesnt compute! Would love to meet him, but would also be kinda intimidated !!!
Listen to the cover by Soundtrack Quartet for a big pull on your heartstrings.
♥
Sounds like it should be in Toy Story 4 with about Bo
Bruno major does a beautiful cover of this, if you like this song you should definitely check it out! Randy really has some of the best song writing chops out there
I have to say, I prefer Jamie cullems version over brunos, but nothing can beat Randys original
Bruh I Can Hear This On Up
Defo ripped of his own song here lmao.when she loved me
This was written years before When She Loved Me.
It sounds like his earlier song "when she loved me" from toy story
Based on the lyrics of She Chose Me and that song, I think "She Chose Me" is the ending of the story.
Stephen Paul Paclibar I agree, the greatest end to a love story.
@@davidtran1812 It does sound like a continuation of that song
hi dady, please make a piano lesson for me, i like this song. thank you
Toy Story.
Thanks Randy.
