Haven't heard this song in 20+ years I'm 41 now. I've always thought the world to my dad but now wants nothing to do with my family. This song is a reminder of what I had an what I want for my boys..
My grandpa died a couple weeks ago and they played this song at his showing. He would always call everyone boy so every time he says boy it makes me sad and they he says he grew old that one really makes me cry because I never knew him when he was younger I only knew him when he was older. Rest In Peace Sargent John Lee Phillips. I miss you so much.
Sorry for your loss, life is so precious and I feel we take it for granted. This song makes me cry everytime I hear it. I raised my son mostly myself and remembered walking him to his school bus and cried like a baby when it drove away. I'm 48 and he's 20 he still lives home with me and I know how fast life slips by. Love as much as possible. God bless.
My grandpa always said sunshine with the same context, it’s been almost 13 years and not a day goes by I don’t miss the old man. It only gets easier with time dealing with my idol of a man being gone.
I get ALL of that. My grandparents raised me and my .Grandpa was the only one who’s ever really known me. Almost 40 years he’s been gone and I miss him every single day.
I've commented on this video for what seems like forever...I have a longing for a father that might have been like this for me. But, I took it upon myself to be this for my sons & daughter...I cry alone some times for my own self pity, But also pride myself in trying to be this type of father...Music will never be the same.
Honestly this guy is absolutely amazing. Definitely one of the best country singers in the 90s. By far. His energy at shows, his voice, and everything hits home.
I have watched this video it seems a million times. It never gets old. I cry each time. The best song and video of all times. I really hope the video won every award there is to win. The actors are superb to say the least. To watch Mark Miller's face, the author of this gift is priceless. He takes you there. You feel the pain of the circle of life. Thank you all involved for your gift to us with this unbelievably amazing treasure. ❤
My uncle Kevin was like my father because my dad wasn't really ever there. He taught me about history and how to throw a ball and everything good that I love today. He was killed in a hit and run while I was deployed and the thing that hurts me the most is that I never got to say goodbye. I will forever miss my uncle, my father, my mentor.
For my son, Shane...my best friend, my hero, my inspiration to keep living. I raised him through his young years and got to experience a lot of walks with him. If it wasn't for him and his sacrifices, I'd have been dead a long time ago. Thanks son for being here for me, then and now, and for letting me be in your life.
Oh yes, I remember it well. The only video I cried the first time I watched it and still do every time. I'm female and it gets to me down deep. The circle of life. What a great writer, singer director and actors in this video!! Best song and video OF ALL TIMES!!!!!!
I never get tired of this song. I named my youngest son Sawyer because I heard "The Walk" when I was pregnant and loved it so much. It always makes me cry to hear it because it reminds me of how supportive my father has always been of my goals and how I try to be supportive of my children's goals and life experiences.
What a "GREAT VIDEO" and Song.This 1 brings TEARS TO MY EYES everytime I watch it...anybody CAN RELATE TO THIS!!..I know I have!..they have other "GOOD" Songs like "The Dirt Road" and "Cafe On The Corner"..BUT!..This is Their BEST ONE!!..that in My Opinion is a "Timeless Classic"..I fell-in-love w/this the 1st time I saw it over 20 years ago,,and TODAY!!..it's still "GREAT" and HITS ME DEEP!! everytime...This 1 will NEVER GET OLD!!! and it was @ a time when Country Music was actually worth LISTENING TO!!...What Happened?
Yes John, I cannot listen to this song without tears flowing. It brings back memories of my dear father, especially when "his mind was a wanderin." You are not alone. I take some peace from knowing that he and I will someday be reunited. Phil Mariani
I can see 7 months have passed since you lost your dad. I hope it's getting a little easier but I know the pain never really 'goes' away. Thank God for the times you had together, both good and bad. They're all a part of this thing called life. It's been 20 years since I lost Mom and Dad and still miss them everyday. Good Luck Steven
July 27-1996. The day before we shook each other’s hands with a sunset. Last time I saw him alive. Said proud of you graduating this year. Love you and be careful out their. Last words he said to me. This year my oldest son will graduate and next year my youngest will also too. This song is awesome reflection how I grew up and how I did the same dad with me.
My dad passed away may 20, 2018 seems like yesterday. Every time i hear this song i think of him. It hurts as much today as the day he left us.I love him and miss him so very much.this is an absolute great song
Sometimes I just like to hear this song as a reminder to myself the paths in Life. Take a nostalgic walk down memory lane ..stroll thru time's gone by. A little bit bitter-sweet but still worth it to have had those days no doubt & wouldn't trade it for anything.
now that I have a son these words mean so much since God bless me with a 2nd son after my first son died a year earlier in my arms 5 hours after birth. A lot if father's dont really know how important you are in your son's life and I have no room in my life for a man that does not take care of his kids because we are very important to out kids and they need us
My dad use to play this song whenever he drove me to school when I was in elementary. Everytime, as soon as I heard it, it would make my eyes swell up, but I never let him see that. Now that he's gone I look back on those days and consider them some of my most cherished because I am older now and I understand what he was trying to say.
Coming up on 4 years since my Dad passed from cancer, and boy watching him never lose faith really taught me to enjoy life for as long as I can. Thanks for teaching me even at your strongest dad!
This is late, but make the most of the relationships that you have now, so no more regrets. I have them as well. It doesn't take the pain away from that particular one, but changes you for the best if you allow it to. Bless you .
Helping my son with his senior project. 10 songs that define my life. Gotta write a paragraph for each song and explain each moment that defines his life so far and plans for the future. This song has me in total tears. I didn’t know he even knew this song. He said it remains him of his first day of school and his trip to college perfectly. My husband and I were there when he got on that bus the first time. He turned and said mom dad I will be alright. Don’t cry mom. He told me the same thing tonight. I can’t help the tears. Some day he will be in my shoes too. Thanks for the song. It’s still so beautiful and meaningful today
I just saw him in concert last wknd for the 2nd time but... this time it was different! I didn't have my daddy with me, I cried like a girl... I can't even explain how much I miss my dad or grandfather but I wish my dad were still here so much. I don't even want to face the world without him, he was my everything! I'm so lost!!!
He is still here bud, his blood flows thru your veins. Every decision you make you learned from him. All his lessons he taught you growing up all part of him that lives on in you. Hang in there and keep your chin up.
One of my all time favorites! I can’t listen to this without tearing up! It means so much especially the video about life coming full circle! If you still have your parents be thankful!
Estranged from my dad for most of my 40 years we were just making plans to get together over the holidays. He dropped dead 3 weeks before Christmas. I'm sorry dad....I'm so sorry. I'm forever shattered.
Never knew my dad, he died when I was 4 at the age of 50 now I’m 46 with 3 adult children, scariest days of my life were when my kids started school, and I am a former active duty marine 😁god bless everyone who got to experience their father in their lives !!
When the second verse comes on, I flashback to my cousin who went to Vietnam. I can't imagine that, being drafted with no choice. My cousin came back even wilder than before, never settled down. He never talks about what happened, not that we've ever asked him. I'm just grateful that he didn't get hurt or killed, that none of my family who served has seen true combat other than that. My younger cousin is now a Marine in Japan and I pray for him constantly. God bless all armed forces and their sacrifice.
Song reminds me of of my Dad and I he's now in his last year's we've never really connected too different but the love is there although sometimes hidden

Same here even as a teenager it was a much better time. Graduated in 2002 and it has been shit sandwiches and middlin years for most of my life. Now that i have a young daughter of my own i make an effort to be calm and patient something my dad was never good at, that said i miss the man everyday more so now that me and my sister have kids he would have loved and never got to see. I refuse to let my cynism and negative energy taint her. She makes me a better peraon everyday.
Been listening to this for nearly 30 years and today is the first time I’ve seen the video. I thought the getting drafted part was an interesting take I had not previously considered.
The last part gets me in the soft spot. I'm divorced at 36....my father's a 4x married retired SSgt. I recall him as a sturdy muscled guy in his 40's and 50's. My sis told me he's shrank to about 150lbs and I spoke to him recently and his waning health is apparent.
i can relate to second verse... 9/11 just happened i was 17 getting ready to graduate and i was california bound afterwards,, i remember walking in with my girlfriend at my house and my mom handed me a letter from the military recruiting office i got in the mail. well my hands were tied and it was either continue my dream going to california or enlisting in the military. i remember my girlfriend crying saying please baby dont go i dont want u going to war. i went in and came home with a medical discharge.
One of the most criminally underrated songs in the history of country music.
They don’t make music like this anymore and it’s sad. I grew up listening to them and will continue to do so 💗
Emotional song
You are right this is when music ment something God bless
My daddy played it when I left for the military in 2006. It was gut wrenching. He passed in 2016. My hero
The 90s were hay day for country. ❤
The best days if my life. I would give anything to go back to those days.
@@chenoah100 Yup. I wish I could have lived them as a teen or 20-something, but grade school wasn't too bad I guess :)
Haven't heard this song in 20+ years I'm 41 now. I've always thought the world to my dad but now wants nothing to do with my family. This song is a reminder of what I had an what I want for my boys..
Oh an this song always brings tears
Sometimes we must build our own families to trust and love. God bless your journey.
Lost my father when I was 22 years old. This song remind me of him.
My Dad stopped speaking to me over the vax. I thought we had a good relationship. It never stops hurting.
One of the Top 10 best Country Music songs ever written.
Ric H it really is and no one remembers it
Ric H amen
This man is speaking truth
Agree 💯
That really is true. The song is just fantastic, and gets to the core of a person.
My grandpa died a couple weeks ago and they played this song at his showing. He would always call everyone boy so every time he says boy it makes me sad and they he says he grew old that one really makes me cry because I never knew him when he was younger I only knew him when he was older.

miss the old man. It only gets easier with time dealing with my idol of a man being gone.
May he be resting peacefully
xoxo i feel it too 💕
I get ALL of that. My grandparents raised me and my .Grandpa was the only one who’s ever really known me. Almost 40 years he’s been gone and I miss him every single day.
My dad passed away last night and I'm here for comfort in lyrics
Sorry for your loss
I’m sorry for your loss. I got my lucky my dad got a transplant and is saved for now.
I've commented on this video for what seems like forever...I have a longing for a father that might have been like this for me. But, I took it upon myself to be this for my sons & daughter...I cry alone some times for my own self pity, But also pride myself in trying to be this type of father...Music will never be the same.
Be that which you never got. Best wishes and raise those kids right!
Today country music generation fans and stars will never compare to this era best time for country music
Honestly this guy is absolutely amazing. Definitely one of the best country singers in the 90s. By far. His energy at shows, his voice, and everything hits home.
Mark Miller, the lead singer of the group Sawyer Brown.
I have watched this video it seems a million times. It never gets old. I cry each time. The best song and video of all times. I really hope the video won every award there is to win. The actors are superb to say the least. To watch Mark Miller's face, the author of this gift is priceless. He takes you there. You feel the pain of the circle of life. Thank you all involved for your gift to us with this unbelievably amazing treasure. ❤
My uncle Kevin was like my father because my dad wasn't really ever there. He taught me about history and how to throw a ball and everything good that I love today. He was killed in a hit and run while I was deployed and the thing that hurts me the most is that I never got to say goodbye.
I will forever miss my uncle, my father, my mentor.
I had an uncle Kevin that was like a father to me as well. They sure don't make'em like they use to...
This song hits a lot different nowadays because my dad has been gone since February 2021. I miss him just as much now as I did when he passed.
For my son, Shane...my best friend, my hero, my inspiration to keep living. I raised him through his young years and got to experience a lot of walks with him. If it wasn't for him and his sacrifices, I'd have been dead a long time ago.
Thanks son for being here for me, then and now, and for letting me be in your life.
Beautiful! I miss my daddy. Has anybody noticed Sawyer Brown? His voice is still the same has never changed
It's sad knowing that every man has to go through this stuff at some point in his life.
@ Joshua Brooks Amen Brother!You speak the truth.
@Major woody so you didn't have a dad numbnuts?
My grandfather walked this way with me I chose to walk alone when I get that old
Great song. Reminds me of my daddy, we both loved this song, still do. I love that man with my whole heart. ❤
My dad passed 5/4/94 ......on his birthday , God I miss him
My dad passed 3/7/2003 I miss him dearly too. Sorry for your loss, it never stops hurting.
Oh yes, I remember it well. The only video I cried the first time I watched it and still do every time. I'm female and it gets to me down deep. The circle of life. What a great writer, singer director and actors in this video!! Best song and video OF ALL TIMES!!!!!!
I'm sorry to hear that my friend..what a powerful song this is ..
Classic song, never gets old, wonderfully written about real life playing out. Bitter sweet but still love it!
Every time I listen to this song I remember my grandpa. He made me the man I am today.
Is that his picture on your profile? Navy man?
@@stonewall73448it’s a picture of my grandpa
I never get tired of this song. I named my youngest son Sawyer because I heard "The Walk" when I was pregnant and loved it so much. It always makes me cry to hear it because it reminds me of how supportive my father has always been of my goals and how I try to be supportive of my children's goals and life experiences.
I'll name my first son Robert because my grandfather honnerd me with the walk
I named my son sawyer also because of this song he just turned 1 in April 23 2024
What a "GREAT VIDEO" and Song.This 1 brings TEARS TO MY EYES everytime I watch it...anybody CAN RELATE TO THIS!!..I know I have!..they have other "GOOD" Songs like "The Dirt Road" and "Cafe On The Corner"..BUT!..This is Their BEST ONE!!..that in My Opinion is a "Timeless Classic"..I fell-in-love w/this the 1st time I saw it over 20 years ago,,and TODAY!!..it's still "GREAT" and HITS ME DEEP!! everytime...This 1 will NEVER GET OLD!!! and it was @ a time when Country Music was actually worth LISTENING TO!!...What Happened?

steven jones I lost my grandpa almost 7 years ago I miss him each and everyday but the sting goes away with time
I can see 7 months have passed since you lost your dad. I hope it's getting a little easier but I know the pain never really 'goes' away. Thank God for the times you had together, both good and bad. They're all a part of this thing called life. It's been 20 years since I lost Mom and Dad and still miss them everyday. Good Luck Steven
I'm so thankful my dad is still here. my mom and grandpa have been gone along time, don't take life for granted
July 27-1996. The day before we shook each other’s hands with a sunset. Last time I saw him alive. Said proud of you graduating this year. Love you and be careful out their. Last words he said to me. This year my oldest son will graduate and next year my youngest will also too. This song is awesome reflection how I grew up and how I did the same dad with me.
90s country just hits different!
I luv when I find songs when I was lil and my momma and daddy used to play she had every cd of country music from the time period.
This song hits hard on Father’s Day when you lost your dad❤. Heart wrenching
My dad passed away may 20, 2018 seems like yesterday. Every time i hear this song i think of him. It hurts as much today as the day he left us.I love him and miss him so very much.this is an absolute great song
As my time with my Dad draws to a close, thanks Mark for one of the best songs Ever.
when you can't find the word goodbye
Amen... Make the most of it
Sometimes I just like to hear this song as a reminder to myself the paths in Life. Take a nostalgic walk down memory lane ..stroll thru time's gone by. A little bit bitter-sweet but still worth it to have had those days no doubt & wouldn't trade it for anything.
now that I have a son these words mean so much since God bless me with a 2nd son after my first son died a year earlier in my arms 5 hours after birth. A lot if father's dont really know how important you are in your son's life and I have no room in my life for a man that does not take care of his kids because we are very important to out kids and they need us
May my grandpa rest in peace he made me the fiercely independent man I am today.
My dad use to play this song whenever he drove me to school when I was in elementary. Everytime, as soon as I heard it, it would make my eyes swell up, but I never let him see that. Now that he's gone I look back on those days and consider them some of my most cherished because I am older now and I understand what he was trying to say.
History will always repeat father to son and memories will be EVERYTHING
This song hits home i just lost my son had to sign my right over to his foster mom but i will see him one day
Coming up on 4 years since my Dad passed from cancer, and boy watching him never lose faith really taught me to enjoy life for as long as I can. Thanks for teaching me even at your strongest dad!
4 months and this song never hit harder
I wished they make music again
You don't know what you lose till gone and then it is too late!
Rich Hetrick yes I know more than anyone
Rip dad
This is late, but make the most of the relationships that you have now, so no more regrets. I have them as well. It doesn't take the pain away from that particular one, but changes you for the best if you allow it to. Bless you .
And Sawyer Brown. !!!!!!! My boys'''''''''. Write songs so deep. It's real. Took this walk you walking now boy. Ben in your shoes
Such a powerful song. The beauty of classic country music. Simple songs about real life.
I understand this song very much I'm 5 months clean now and my dad has been their bye my side supportive of me love ya dad
There’s no music as good as these days past.
I never tire of this song it is so touching a beautiful. I love Mark Miller of 'Sawyer Brown'. Such a wonderful singer and easy on the eyes as well.
He was just entering his sixties when I saw him with Sawyer Brown many years ago.
Lost my dad in 99, I was 21. This song hits hard. Now I have a 16 year old myself. It's even harder to hear now.
Helping my son with his senior project. 10 songs that define my life. Gotta write a paragraph for each song and explain each moment that defines his life so far and plans for the future. This song has me in total tears. I didn’t know he even knew this song. He said it remains him of his first day of school and his trip to college perfectly. My husband and I were there when he got on that bus the first time. He turned and said mom dad I will be alright. Don’t cry mom. He told me the same thing tonight. I can’t help the tears.

I just saw him in concert last wknd for the 2nd time but... this time it was different! I didn't have my daddy with me, I cried like a girl... I can't even explain how much I miss my dad or grandfather but I wish my dad were still here so much. I don't even want to face the world without him, he was my everything! I'm so lost!!!
Sorry Sir.
He is still here bud, his blood flows thru your veins. Every decision you make you learned from him. All his lessons he taught you growing up all part of him that lives on in you. Hang in there and keep your chin up.
This song is the only thing that calms my 4 month old down when he's extra fussy. By the end of it he's not crying but I am 😅
That's precious!!!
Such a powerful song.
Omg so sweet.
The kid knows good music.
This is a true tear jerker.
One of my all time favorites! I can’t listen to this without tearing up! It means so much especially the video about life coming full circle! If you still have your parents be thankful!
This song is so sad and therapeutic at the same time! It hurts and helps what I'm going through right now.
Estranged from my dad for most of my 40 years we were just making plans to get together over the holidays. He dropped dead 3 weeks before Christmas. I'm sorry dad....I'm so sorry. I'm forever shattered.
I'm sorry :(
He knows you love him. And he is looking down on you from heaven just like my daddy is with me. I lost mine 11 years ago. But believe me. He knows.
I am very sorry. Prayers to you.
Life is hard. Death can be harder. Its confusing when we are estranged from our parents. Mixed emotions. Confused feelings.
I miss you everyday grampa your memory gives me comfort every moment I think of you just cause I cry don't mean I'm sad
My grandparents raised me. When I hear this I think of Him. Honest, good, pure. I hope he is proud of me!
54 and still cry evertime.
Lost my dad on Feb. 22 of 2018. This song says it all.
sorry about your daddy.I miss mine like crazy.
I lost mine April 9th, 2018, not a day goes by I don't think of him, one of the hardest things I've been through.
Timmy passed away and still listening to the song in #24
My best friend!!!
My dad passed away almost 3 years ago. He stepped up and adopted me. I have 4 sons and a daughter. I hope someday they remember me fondly.
Never knew my dad, he died when I was 4 at the age of 50 now I’m 46 with 3 adult children, scariest days of my life were when my kids started school, and I am a former active duty marine 😁god bless everyone who got to experience their father in their lives !!
I'll always remember the walk with my grandpa with this song
Great song. Brings back lots of childhood memories.
Lost my dad 7 years ago, makes me think of him.
MrPoediggidy me to
Me too and it's hard to go through that ...
That's a powerful video. Im crying.
Never ever get enough of this song.
it's been almost 30 years since my grand father pass away god bless I still love him
The flag with God Bless America is just awesome to have in this music video.
This song always tears me up
My grandfather made me the man I am today. If it's not for his memory I better myself
Every time this song I remember my grandfather I miss him each and everyday but now I must confess I must be my own man
When the second verse comes on, I flashback to my cousin who went to Vietnam. I can't imagine that, being drafted with no choice. My cousin came back even wilder than before, never settled down. He never talks about what happened, not that we've ever asked him. I'm just grateful that he didn't get hurt or killed, that none of my family who served has seen true combat other than that. My younger cousin is now a Marine in Japan and I pray for him constantly. God bless all armed forces and their sacrifice.
used to watch this video with my mom when i was young and once i just bawled my eyes out because the video was so real.
I cry every time I listen to this song...
Still love this song.. ❤ when I was a kid my parents love it❤.
What a great song. The walk with my dad is coming soon. What a great man.
Lost my daddy 9 years ago and the pain is still there
1.2yrs now, I know what you mean.
Song reminds me of of my Dad and I he's now in his last year's we've never really connected too different but the love is there although sometimes hidden
its a wonder this beautiful song doesn't have many more views

I miss the 90's. 😥😥😫😫🌷🌼🌓🚒🎤🎧📀
Same here even as a teenager it was a much better time. Graduated in 2002 and it has been shit sandwiches and middlin years for most of my life. Now that i have a young daughter of my own i make an effort to be calm and patient something my dad was never good at, that said i miss the man everyday more so now that me and my sister have kids he would have loved and never got to see. I refuse to let my cynism and negative energy taint her. She makes me a better peraon everyday.
I love this song. It's been a favorite for so many years and reasons.
Love this song!
i love songs that make you remember the past and things that happened in life growing up
This played at my fathers funeral. Gets me every time!!!
As always a great video of a great song.
Still loving this song in 2024.
90s country was just different
Been listening to this for nearly 30 years and today is the first time I’ve seen the video. I thought the getting drafted part was an interesting take I had not previously considered.
something about country music that makes you just tear up
Damn dust in my eye... lol. I think every man gets hit with this song. We all relate on some level
Lost my dad at 16. He would pick me up and we would play this. He played garth brooks for my brother Aquilino and this for me. #kingMarts
What a beautiful memory, I'm so sorry you lost your dad so young =(
The last part gets me in the soft spot. I'm divorced at 36....my father's a 4x married retired SSgt. I recall him as a sturdy muscled guy in his 40's and 50's. My sis told me he's shrank to about 150lbs and I spoke to him recently and his waning health is apparent.
classic this song will always be
This song reminds me of my dad and I. RIP DAD
Love and Miss you Dad. ❤️😭
He is with the lord my brother. Now he is waiting for you.
Hey took me by the hand and said I understand boy
i can relate to second verse... 9/11 just happened i was 17 getting ready to graduate and i was california bound afterwards,, i remember walking in with my girlfriend at my house and my mom handed me a letter from the military recruiting office i got in the mail. well my hands were tied and it was either continue my dream going to california or enlisting in the military. i remember my girlfriend crying saying please baby dont go i dont want u going to war. i went in and came home with a medical discharge.
This song is timeless
That was my son's favorite song by them the first time he ever heard them.
I cry to this every time i listen to it
