A friend said her father told her, losing his wife of many years was the hardest thing he had ever faced. This man landed at Normandy on D Day and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. I lost my beloved wife of 50 years, 9 months ago. I now understand. This song nails the devastation one feels from such a loss.
This is our theme song. it's a sad song but my late husband had chosen it. He celebrated his 73 birthday on Aug 28, 2021, we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary Sep 13, 2021 and he passed away Sep 30, 2021. Unti now I cried every night and I used to hear this sad song till I get some sleep. HONEY I missed you so much. I hope and pray that you are now happy with our creator. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.Only time will tell when I will ever forget you
Pushing 70 year old Marine here, bawling like a kid who dropped an ice cream. Lost the love of my life when she was 23, to leukemia. There has not been a day she has not been felt in my heart. The void does not get refilled. Life trudges on... This is the saddest song ever, in a way, but, I think, it shows we need to rejoice on what we had, not lament the loss. Easier said than done. Nice review...
You have officially heard the Saddest Song Ever Written. Period. Honey is sentimental and adorable and he thinks its cute and funny. She is upset that she wrecked the car and is crying hoping he isn't mad at her. He couldn't stay mad at her if he tried. He loved her very much, and now that he looks back at all the cute and adorable things she did, he really appreciates how sweet and sentimental she is. I always wanted a relationship like that but I got the opposite. I think she had a terminal illness and loved him so much she couldn't bear to break the news to him. This song has had me choked up since it came out when I was about six years old.
That's the read I got. When he mentions her crying in the day then she left when he wasn't there. We knew my dad was dying but he waited until mom left for work and he thought I had gone to bed to go. I came in to do a final night check on him and found him going. Got my mom back but by that point he was gone.
My prayers too you brother....I lost my wife eleven year's ago....my bride passed away 6 day's after my daughter's seventh birthday....she just left for her first year of college...both of my children are in college now and I'm alone...feels like I've lost my wife all over again...the pain is just as intense...it's hard to keep trying to go on...just not sure I even want to...
From one old widower to another, my wife left to be with Christ 19 days after our 61 st wedding anniversary, so hang in there we will see them again…..
My late wife passed away in 2008, and even though it was long ago, this song still brings back smiles, tears and a flood of memories. Young people think they know what love is but watching the ravages of cancer slowly take the life from her, knowing there's nothing you can do... well, unless you've been there, like so many if those who leave comments here, you can't imagine the helplessness you feel, the anger, the anguish and the emptiness in your heart until an old favorite song, a soft breeze, a passing fragrance rekindles the love you never gave up and speaks softly, "I'm still here."
My mother passed away in 1992. She died alone, from lung cancer tumour had haemorrhaged & she bled out.. dad played this non stop. every single time i hear this, chokes me up, even to this day so hard to listen to, such a sad song. played at dads funeral also in 1997.Thank you for the reaction .
My man, mom died alone too. It wasn't for the reason that she didn't have family. My sisters had lunch with her that very afternoon, and she usually spend the whole day with them, but on that Dec day on the 21 in 2005. They said that she was so anxious to go home, they say it seemed like she knew that was going to be her last time to see them and she didn't want them to see that. They founder her that evening with a smile on her face. I still kick myself for not going home that summer.
Before I meet my wife in person, we were playing suggesting TH-cam videos of sad songs that were unknown to each other. She likes modern country, I like the old. I suggested this song and after it ended, I couldn't hear anything and thought she hung up. She came back on after a couple minutes and I realized she'd been crying.... hard.
I grew up with this song, it was sad then, and as sad as today. 😢 I have a problem with the song, my husband passed away 6 years ago. Make memories, that is your comfort
THIS Song , I was 10 when this came out , I cried then and at 66 I still cry now , the memory , this is the saddest of songs , a truely moving song , thanx Bobby Cheers
My Dad would turn up the car radio every time this song was on.I lost my Mom in the spring and I think it reminded him every time he heard it. She has been gone 53 years and him 36 years and I miss both of them.😢😢
Bobby Goldsboro was also a songwriter. One song that he wrote was rather different from "Honey" & his other songs: "Summer (the First Time)." Let's just say there's a cougar in it-& I'm not talking about a mountain lion.
I know all about it : Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I'm not asleep. I am the thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on the snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quite birds in circle flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I'm not there, I did not die.
When he recorded this song, he did it in one take which is absolutely unheard of... Most producers do several and re-record sections and re-arrange on the fly, but not this one... One take and done and a hit. Astonishingly rare indeed!
I still tear up on these great songs - even at 64!! try listening to Autumn of my life by Bobby Goldsboro - or watching scotty grow! We lived back then with our music....really lived life - this generation will never know!
I lost my wife, Robbin, in the overnight hours of May 23/24, 2020, to Pancreatic Cancer. Because of the plandemic, I couldn't have a funeral for her. Because it occurred on Memorial Day weekend, and a month before her 63rd birthday, I get a triple whammy every year. I miss her every day. This song hits me right in my emotions every time.
I thought this was John Denver, on tape in mom's car..... i cried at 8 when was listening to it in the garage on 8track....am 50 now..... and cry even harder now that i found the right one. Thanks for listening... have to make sure kids hear it too.....
OMG!!! My Mama passed away in March 2018 from end stage pancreatic cancer. My daddy had colon cancer that metastasized to his lungs, liver, bones and brain. He passed away 5 months after my Mama. I found out from him before he died that this song was his song for my Mama. 💕💕💕 Honey is what my Daddy called my Mama!
I was a kid when this song came out. Thought it was too sad to listen esp as a kid, so I never listened to this song as much then. I was more into pop, rock, and happy tunes. Later on in life it had a different meaning, still sad but lyrics made sense of the song. Most of my relatives and siblings are gone now !
Half heard this all the time when I was a kid and thought it was just a typical mushy love song, but one day I really listened to it--what? She died? First time a song made me cry.
Kevin Neal This is one of my all time favorite songs. I guess one can look at this as being sad but I prefer looking at this as sweet memories of a loved one who is with us no more.
How many times I've heard this song over the past 50+ years and I choke up every time. When I used to be able to sing this was one song I could never do because I knew I'd never get through it.
1968 Honey by Bobby Goldsboro Written by the late great Bobby Russell Vickie Lawrence Ex-Husband who also wrote That's When The Lights Went Out In Georgie.
Some cried. others vomited at the mawkish sentiment of this much-lampooned tear-jerker. I still have time for it for two reasons. One is Bobby's golden (and somewhat underrated) voice, The other is how deftly it captures the little things that cumulatively sustain a long-term relationship which have meaning only to them. I scoffed when I first heard it, but as I matured I started to get it. Yes, I've been there and I hope, dear Rogue, you are spared at least some of the pain
This was my late dads, favorite song ever. He and my late mom, would sit, and listen to this song, and hold each other while crying. My dad had gotten orders, to go to VIET - NAM. My beloved mom, would listen to this song everyday, to comfort her heart while dad was away at war. Both mom and dad are in heaven together now. Miss you both so much. A piece of my heart is forever missing. Love you always. RIP - MOM - DAD.
I love this song. I sang this many many times - I'm in my sixties and from the Philippines. This song was huge there. I am so happy you played and reacted to this video.
Hi rogue ,this songs an oldie but a goodie, new sub from Ireland, fantastic reaction, one thing iv noticed you are one of the few reactors who actually concentrates on the lyrics ,
I cried my heart out the first time I heard this song in 68. Little did I know just two years later I would be living it myself…it holds a very special place in my heart.
My mom introduced me to this one. I honestly can't think of a time in my life when I haven't known of this song and I've loved it since the very 1st time I heard it. Yes it's super sad, but even way back then I've always focused more on the love than the loss. Afterall, as Alfred Lord Tennyson once said.. "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." Many blessings and love to those who've experienced such a loss. Bit by bit, may your days get easier sooner rather than later ❤️
I had a slightly mentally challenged sweet uncle that loved this song. He lost his mother (my great grandmother) when he was only nine. We used an old cassette recorder and "looped" "Honey" onto tape so he could listen to it over and over whenever he wished. Uncle Bill was not much for expressing feelings, but he use to play that cassette and stand at the window listening and sometimes we could see him lipping the words. We always wondered who he was thinking of when he was listening to it. But, I think it was his mother he missed and this made him think of her.... Thank you for the reaction....
Love you none-judgmental reaction and just hearing “ the love” a man had for this woman. I was 7 when this song came out and even at that age I would cry because he was in pain and I wanted to fix it. I still love this song, it’s an honest story of the times. -grace
Summer (The First Time) is my favorite song of his. He also had his own TV show for a few years. He also toured with the Beatles and rode on the bus with them.
This song had a big impact on me at the age of 7 when my mother brought home the album and played it. Yes I'm old ha ha. Try "watching Scotty grow" too if ya get a chance. Great reaction as always!
I think that I was about 14 or 15 and went out to California from Texas and went to Kntsberry Farm amusement park and got to see Bobby Goldsboro at a free concert in the auditorium there and he sang this song, it was very memorable. Ribbit, ribit.
What a lovely way to hear this song, edited with your reactions. I remember it well. Your input is very thoughtful. Death is so well captured by it. At my mother’s funeral earlier this year I could barely look at her coffin.
Thank you so much for this song and your heartfelt reaction! I have loved this song since my youth, and to this day it still pulls my heart into a knot and makes the tears well up. It is just such a beautiful and heartfelt song that stirs up emotions in me I can't explain. Again thank you so much!
This song always make me cry and hits close to home. This was a beautiful reaction from and very important life advice you give to cherish and not take for granted those we love. Let them know for we never know how long we will have someone! ❤💙🙏
Was actually a big hit in 68, one of my favorite songs then. He had a song Autumn off my Life after that, was ok nothing to the popularity of Honey. I really dug his song a few years earlier Little Things, much different, upbeat.
Looking at how big of a hit this song was in 1968, I'm surprised I haven't heard this song before. It's beautiful. It was a sad song, but he was talking about the happy moments, which made easier to take.
Haven't heard that song since the early '70s still remembered every word the power of music. I would love to see you react to a song called tobacco road performed by the winters Brothers Edgar and Johnny Winters but it should be the live version from 1970 while you're at it you should listen to Edgar winners performing live Frankenstein from 1973 with Rick Derringer. Edgar is an unappreciated musical genius forefront of his craft at the time I think you'll be pleasantly surprised
I grew up hearing this song and I was always deeply moved. I couldn’t have been more than 8 or 9 years and I was just learning that songs could be a way to tell very rich and complicated stories instead of just making us dance or think happy thoughts.

Makes me cry buckets every time, now especially as my mums dying rite now n she loved this song.😢
it's plain to see that this woman was genuinely touched by this song. It's the sign of a good person that she possesses both passion and compassion.
My daddy loved this song.

I was 13yrs old when Honey was a hit back in 1968. I remember this one, what a hit!!
I grew up with this song, it was sad then, and as sad as today. 😢 I have a problem with the song, my husband passed away 6 years ago. Make memories, that is your comfort
Such a sad song. I hadn’t heard this in ages. Still a tear jerker.
All these years later, and it still brought a tear.
every time...yep
This song still brings tears to my eyes even after all these years.
This was MOMs favorite. She passed in 93. Still gets me every time I hear it.
Good memories
Understand fully, heard it in 68 when I was ten, still gets me. Sorry for the loss of your mom.
THIS Song , I was 10 when this came out , I cried then and at 66 I still cry now , the memory , this is the saddest of songs , a truely moving song , thanx Bobby Cheers
59 years old, have heard this song all my life, and I’m man enough to admit I cry every time I hear it.
60’s and 70’s...two great decades of music! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
#truth!
Yes..llllll and 40 ..50 ..also jazz and rock ans Roll
Though I am from another culture, I feel tears in my eyes every time I listen to Honey and Autumn of My Life.
I still have tears listening to this song and I'm 67 now
My Dad would turn up the car radio every time this song was on.I lost my Mom in the spring and I think it reminded him every time he heard it. She has been gone 53 years and him 36 years and I miss both of them.😢😢
First girl who broke my heart this was her song, I still have issues listening to it..
I remember when this song was on the radio.
(RogueRxyce is really pretty.)
One of the best songs ever !!!!! get something in my eye every time I hear this song !!!
This was so hard to watch and hear. My mum used to love this. Miss you mum.❤️❤️❤️
Finally someone recognizes Bobby, My wife's favorite singer as a teen. You will like "Watching Scotty Grow" and "Little Green Apples" by Bobby also
Little Green Apples was sung by many, but written by Bobby Russel.
"Little Green Apples" was made a hit by O.C. Smith, and imo, is the best version of the song. But I love Bobby, and I love "Watching Scotty Grow."
Bobby Goldsboro was also a songwriter. One song that he wrote was rather different from "Honey" & his other songs: "Summer (the First Time)." Let's just say there's a cougar in it-& I'm not talking about a mountain lion.
I know all about it :
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I'm not asleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on the snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quite birds in circle flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I'm not there, I did not die.
I was a little kid when I heard this and cried then and still do everytime I hear it.
My future wife cried every time she heard that song.We be celebrating our fiftieth anniversary in November:
Congrats.
Yes congratulations to you both.
Do you think the marriage will last? ; ) Seriously, congratulations.
Congratulations to you and your wife
wow!! Congrats you two :) :)
When he recorded this song, he did it in one take which is absolutely unheard of... Most producers do several and re-record sections and re-arrange on the fly, but not this one... One take and done and a hit. Astonishingly rare indeed!

You know, we all made fun of true song as smart ass kids, but I'm touched by for reaction. Thanks RR.
We all have this side of us. Both the plant a twig and laugh, the smart but dumb. Love is the true emotion.
You Show Feelings Of Sadness While Listening To The Song, It's An Instinctive Jester Of A Good Person.
Wow! A blast from the past. Haven’t heard this in decades. So pretty and so sad. Thanks Royce!! 😊🌹🌹🌹
Takes me back to my teen years!!! When songs were proper songs!!
I ball my eyes out every time I hear this & my husband sings this at karoake very well & then I start😭😭😭😭
You tell them you love them over and over but if they don’t love you you’ve had it
Beautiful lyrics... 🥺❤️

I understand how you feel. pretty much the only family I have left is my sister and a couple of cousins.
I hadn’t realised how much vibrato he used in his voice
Have always loved this song. I’m a sucker for sad songs. Truth is I’ve never had a love like that.
Half heard this all the time when I was a kid and thought it was just a typical mushy love song, but one day I really listened to it--what? She died? First time a song made me cry.
WOW WHAT AN ANGELIC VOICE THE BACKGROUND SINGERS HAVE, BEAUTIFUL SONG LOVE FROM DENMARK
One day when l was not at home
The Angels came.
That phrase is monumental ..
This song came out when I was 6. I'm 59 now, and it still brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
Beautiful song. You also had great comments about the song. Thanks.
Saudades ,,,,, lindo ,,, lindo ,,,, Brasil ,,,,

This is one of my all time favorite songs. I guess one can look at this as being sad but I prefer looking at this as sweet memories of a loved one who is with us no more.
Ouch. I remember this song. What a gut-punch. I got ya covered. 😥😭

On the day I was born this was the number 1 song in the charts...

I love this song. I sang this many many times - I'm in my sixties and from the Philippines. This song was huge there. I am so happy you played and reacted to this video.
This song reminds me of my mother, she loved this song, we would listen to it together when I was a child 😪
I heard it a thousand times and I still tear up
I love watching you react to the old songs
Hi rogue ,this songs an oldie but a goodie, new sub from Ireland, fantastic reaction, one thing iv noticed you are one of the few reactors who actually concentrates on the lyrics ,
When the song first came out I was like only 7 years old and I remember crying to it and still to this day I hear it and I still cry
One of my faves. Released twice here in the UK. First in 1968 reaching Number 2. Then again in 1975 and got to Number 2 again.
Thanks Bobby for sharing such a heart field message so sad it brings a tear.
I cried my heart out the first time I heard this song in 68. Little did I know just two years later I would be living it myself…it holds a very special place in my heart.

Summer (The First Time) is my favorite song of his. He also had his own TV show for a few years. He also toured with the Beatles and rode on the bus with them.
Me too,glad to see him live in Hong Kong after waiting for almost 40 years
Try his song “Autumn of my life”
Great song, my father wanted it played at his funeral, which I did
This song had a big impact on me at the age of 7 when my mother brought home the album and played it. Yes I'm old ha ha. Try "watching Scotty grow" too if ya get a chance.
Great reaction as always!
This just took me back to my childhood. I love this song and this singer!!!
Tear jerker! Forgot how much I loved this song💞
I think that I was about 14 or 15 and went out to California from Texas and went to Kntsberry Farm amusement park and got to see Bobby Goldsboro at a free concert in the auditorium there and he sang this song, it was very memorable. Ribbit, ribit.
What a lovely way to hear this song, edited with your reactions. I remember it well. Your input is very thoughtful. Death is so well captured by it. At my mother’s funeral earlier this year I could barely look at her coffin.
Thank you so much for this song and your heartfelt reaction! I have loved this song since my youth, and to this day it still pulls my heart into a knot and makes the tears well up. It is just such a beautiful and heartfelt song that stirs up emotions in me I can't explain. Again thank you so much!
This song always make me cry and hits close to home. This was a beautiful reaction from and very important life advice you give to cherish and not take for granted those we love. Let them know for we never know how long we will have someone! ❤💙🙏
this song came out after my mom died, I was 12…made me cry then made me cry now
Eva Cassidy's "Know You by Heart" will bring tears
I remember this song when it was new. It made me sad but thought it was a great tune. I bought the 45. It made Bobby a star also.
One of the best songs of the 60s. Love it.
Was actually a big hit in 68, one of my favorite songs then. He had a song Autumn off my Life after that, was ok nothing to the popularity of Honey. I really dug his song a few years earlier Little Things, much different, upbeat.
Looking at how big of a hit this song was in 1968, I'm surprised I haven't heard this song before. It's beautiful. It was a sad song, but he was talking about the happy moments, which made easier to take.
Haven't heard that song since the early '70s still remembered every word the power of music. I would love to see you react to a song called tobacco road performed by the winters Brothers Edgar and Johnny Winters but it should be the live version from 1970 while you're at it you should listen to Edgar winners performing live Frankenstein from 1973 with Rick Derringer. Edgar is an unappreciated musical genius forefront of his craft at the time I think you'll be pleasantly surprised
I grew up hearing this song and I was always deeply moved. I couldn’t have been more than 8 or 9 years and I was just learning that songs could be a way to tell very rich and complicated stories instead of just making us dance or think happy thoughts.
Love grew up. At the beginning he laughed at her sentimentality and her nurturing nature but her big heart helped his heart grow.
A blast from the past. The story just keeps rolling out. I remember all the lyrics but don’t remember memorizing them.
After Honey It's Only Natural That You Listen To,, BOBBY GOLDSBORO "WATCHING SCOTTY GROW"
This was my mom's favorite song. When she passed, this is all I could think about. We didn't have a tree. Thanks for the reaction.
