This song has been playing in my head for months . Could believe I come here and found it on 3rd of April 2024 at 2;05am . A must for my next Sunday Afternoon Oldies mix
I lost my beloved husband just over a year ago and we both loved this sons our 49 years that God granted to us was just not long enough I’ll forever miss him and he’ll always be my husband my one and only😢😢❤❤
My mom used to listen to a 70s CD she had with us in the car a lot. This song was on there. I lost her to cancer 14 years ago when I was 14. My dad listened to it with me after she passed. I lost him 4 months ago to cancer as well. I miss my mom and dad every single day and words could not describe it. This song never fails to make me cry, even as I’m typing. Love your loved ones as hard as you can while you have them ❤
My mother ,brother and I used to this song a lot in the 70's well the whole album really .My Dad was overseas a lot and we pray every night for him to come back safe and he did ,but unfortunately my parents divorced when I was 9 and mom would cry to the Jesus picture every night.
Dear PJ, this song is powerful. Not many can listen to it without missing those we lost. Keep the love you all shared alive. They wouldn't want you to be sad. They're watching over you and listening to this song with. Blessings be with you. Sending you a great big hug and love.❤😇🥰
My mother used to listen to this song, she told me it reminded her of her brother who passed away. Fast forward 34 years later, I listen to this song and think of my mother, who passed away on Valentines day 1990. I love Mom and still think of you.
My wife, partner, soulmate, friend, Love, LaVonne, went to heaven early in the morning of May 19, 2024. Yesterday, May 30, was the 27th anniversary of the day we met, at a church dance, when she came up to me and asked if I wanted to dance… we were married the next December and I miss her SO MUCH! “…and I’d love to be with you, if only I could.” “And it was in the early spring when flowers bloom, and robins sing, she went away.” I love you LaVonne. Thank you for sharing all those wonderful minutes, hours, days, years with me. I’m glad you’re in Heaven now, free from pain.
My wife, soulmate, best friend, and the LOVE of my life passed away September 29, 1973. She drowned in the Atlantic Ocean in Wilmington, NC. I pray when I pass away I'll see her in Heaven. It's been a long time. This year it will have been 50 years ago she passed away. Even today I still shed tears because she passed away. We both were very young. I still love her very much.
I lost my husband (yes, it says Manuel but it his account) after 36 years of marriage. He was my only love, too. Our son and grand son miss him, too!!! Yes, we will see them.
My son just passed. He suffered twenty years with cancer. No parent should out live their child. I am living twenty years longer than my son. May he be in heaven with Jesus. Jesus promises, ,no more tears, no more pain, no more sorrows. Rest in peace my beloved son. Your mom loves you and we will reunite someday.
I’m so sorry😢 I lost my youngest son to cancer 22 yrs ago and my oldest son 3 yrs ago to COVID. The pain never leaves a parent that loses a child. My heart is with you
Mum loved this song...timeless and heart breaking.. she is in heaven now with Dad listening...over 50 years old but, still beautiful lyrics and Bobby's voice sets off so well.. for those who have lost someone...brings a tear every time...
Ray Burgess My wife pass away on June 5 2020. We were married for 61 years and. Went Together for 7 years before we were marred. She was 82 I was 83, she pass Away 13 days after our. 61st. God bless you for your songs, they are great, Honey, remember, today. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. RAY.
This was one of my mom's favorite songs. I've requested to play it at her funeral next week. I never expected to lose my mom at 18. She passed away from pancreatic cancer on Thursday. God I miss you so much mommy but I hope you are walking with angels. You don't deserve any less.
Alexis Susanne Hogan-Hobson I'm sorry for your loss. Allow your memories of her love, her loving spirit to guide you and comfort you in times of trouble. She will send you signs now and then that she's not really gone, just "up above" watching out for you. Always. Let HER love flow your hands, words, and heart Alexis.
Alexis my mom also died of pancreatic cancer it will be 4 years this Christmas eve and I loved her so... this song also reminds me of her. God bless you and keep you.
Alexis Susanne Hogan-Hobson I am so sorry about your mother. Lost my dad the same way, but he was almost ninety. I have no words that would offer adequate comfort.
Mine suddenly went home 12/11/22, at just 74. Nearly 49 years married . For some reason thus song just popped into my head tonight! I'm so lonely 52 years together..
I can now understand this song. My beloved wife of 50 years passed away six months ago. I am in an empty house. Playing this song hits me like a sledgehammer.
WHAT A SONG: ALL I HAVE IS MEMORIES - I WAKE UP NIGHTS AND CALL HER NAME AND LIFE IS BUT, AN EMPTY STAGE....AND, HONEY, I MISS YOU AND I ALWAYS WILL... ---Honey Bobby Goldsboro See the tree, how big it's grown But friend, it hasn't been too long It wasn't big I laughed at her, and she got mad The first day that she planted it Was just a twig Then the first snow came And she ran out to brush the snow away So it wouldn't die Came runnin' in all excited Slipped and almost hurt herself And I laughed 'til I cried She was always young at heart Kinda dumb, and kinda smart And I loved her so And I surprised her with a puppy Kept me up all Christmas Eve Two years ago And it would sure embarrass her When I came in from workin' late 'Cause I would know That she'd been sittin' there and cryin' Over some sad and silly late, late show And honey, I miss you And I'm being good And I'd love to be with you If only I could She wrecked the car, and she was sad And so afraid that I'd be mad But, what the heck Though I pretended hard to be Guess you could say she saw through me And hugged my neck I came home unexpectedly And caught her cryin' needlessly In the middle of the day And it was in the early spring When flowers bloom, and robins sing She went away And honey, I miss you And I'm being good And I'd love to be with you If only I could One day while I was not at home While she was there, and all alone The angels came Now all I have is memories of honey And I wake up nights And call her name Now my life's an empty stage Where honey lived, and honey played And love grew up And a small cloud passes over head And cries down on the flower bed that Honey loved And see the tree, how big it's grown But friend, it hasn't been too long It wasn't big And I laughed at her, and she got mad The first day that she planted it Was just a twig
I’m 64 and just found this song. I lost my best friend and wife on Dec 28, 2023, in her sleep. I still cry when I think of her but those first six months were so hard. We had different tastes but our love overcame everything. We were 3 weeks from our 24th anniversary. I still miss you and love you, baby! I was supposed to go first. I’ll see you again in Heaven.
Being only 19 years old now, I didn't know about this song growing up. The first time I heard it was in the car with my then 58 year old dad in early 2010. My mom had passed away in September 2009 from kidney failure. When it came on the radio, he told me that she used to love this song, while he used to think it was lame, given he was just a wannabe macho high school boy when it came out. Listening to it with him, I realized that Honey sounded exactly like my mom, who was a very emotional person. I think he got the picture. He was in tears by the end of the song. I finally realized what it really meant. Before they were my parents, they were just a young couple in love. Married over 30 years, he had just lost his long time sweetheart. And now I get a chill down my spine whenever I hear this song.
I love reading story of real life, everybody has story to tell. The reasons God wanted us to experience real life, real love. Love is Life ; as God Is Love!
This song makes me miss my mom, who owned this album. Cant get through it without crying like a baby. Give your mothers a hug for a boy who grew up wishing he had more time with his own mother.
I met a beautiful native American gal right before the pandemic. She was thrilled we met and so was I. She worked in a hospital lab. When the virus hit most of the lab staff quit for obvious reasons. She stuck with her job. With the shortage of workers, the hospital scheduled her for more hours. I tried to tell her NOT to work too many overtime but she told me she needed the extra money. She was a single parent. One day I visited her and she was fine. In the back of my mind I was keenly aware of the pandemic and her job as a lab technician and the real possibility of her getting exposed to it. Anyway, I saw her and a week after she told me she was sick. This was in March of 2020. She stayed home and didn't go to work for obvious reasons. Then two weeks went by. She texted me saying she was going to the hospital because she was just too sick. I received about 2 or 3 texts from her while in the hospital. The last text I got from her said, "When is this going to end?!!" I continued to text her despite not getting any replies. Almost 3 weeks went by. I continued to send her encouraging messages. Messages like, I missed you and hope you get well soon and go home. Still no texts til one day in one of my texts I told her, "I'm beginning to believe you may be upset with me because I failed to visit you in the hospital." I added, "I'm sure you're home now recuping and you may have decided I'm not the kind of person you'd want to associate with so I'll wish you a fast and full recovery and the best of luck. Love, M." Well, another week went by and still no answer from her. Then one late afternoon I was driving to another state when I got a call. I answered it and it was a young lady who asked me if I was Mike who "was leaving my mom text messages." I said I was. She told me that her mom had passed from the virus two weeks earlier. My heart broke. I had to pull off the road. I miss her sooooooo much. 💔 x 1000000000000
Just lost my wife of 53 years. Tried to listen to this, but can't. But I remember it from so long ago, great song but you know, a little too sweet at the. time. Fast forward to now and it's like it was written for me. Thank you Bobby, maybe I can listen someday, but not today.
Sorry for your loss. I feel the same about not being able to listen to this. It is a beautiful song, but it puts me in such a bad place emotionally. It's just too sad.
My wife of 53 years loved this song,i had it played at her funeral,and how i miss her is beyond words.It's been nearly 6 years since we layed her to rest in that cold lonesome gravesight.I left her grave with my head in my hands,and left her there with GOD.I still miss her tonight as much as i did that cold day when i left her and her beautiful smile to never return.Love my Barbara Ann.
I just buried my husband of 55 years last month. I know that feeling and I expect I will feel the same every day for the rest of my life. God Bless you, she will be waiting for you when you get there!
No evangelho de João capítulo 5:28,29 Jesus promete que veremos nossos ente queridos que adormeceram na morte, e apocalipse 21:3,4 diz que poderemos viver para sempre num paraíso na terra sem o sofrimento que afligem a todos no mundo de hoje. Salmo: 37:9,10
Sorry for your lost .. all the memories you guys shared together and her smile will always bring you peace. In sure somewhere she is looking and thinking of you too
Don, I know what you mean. This song reminds me of my little sister that passed away when she five before her sixth birthday. I was eleven. I like listening to our favorite songs. It brings back so many sweet memories. Condolences on your loss.
This song is a dagger in the hearts of all of us who suffer the loss of a loved one. I lost my only daughter ... and I´m moved every time I listen to this song...
I am 60 years old and from Switzerland (Lucerne). I heard this song from Bobby Goldsboro for the first time in 1969 and I still like to listen to it, a great classic. I still like to listen to the music of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. Dennis Herger
My daughter Sherry and I used to listen to this song together from the time she was little.She was born in 1970 and died in 2003 at the age of 32.This song reminds me so much of her.
I lost my dear mother and sister in 1968 to a drunk driver. I was only 12.This song still brings tears to my eyes.I t was released shortly after they died. This song always hits my heart when I hear it. Reminds me of losing them both suddenly!
david, my heartfelt sympathies to you on losing your mom/sister to a drunk driver at such a young age! they are with you daily, continue talking to them daily. betty gordon, ames, iowa
David such a sufferring at such tender age...I send you prayers for Mom n sister and hugs to you bro...take care...ps have you heard about hugging Mother or Amma ...please try and read about...I'm healed completely..may be you wd too...
I lost my Honey 6 months ago and she was everything I ever had that meant everything to me. She was truly the love of my life! And I miss her so! Life is a gift from God. I cherish the time that we shared together if only I could turn back time.
I'm 65 years old now and still listening to the song Honey by Goldsboro I remember when I had a transistor radio in the wintertime and little ear plug in my ear and this song came on for the very first time I have never stopped loving this song it just means so much to me it's the best song I've ever heard I think it's the best thing that's ever been written and the song is entitled honey
Gosh, I'd forgotten about the little ear plug for the transistor radios. I can remember being a kid in the 70's and all the stations were on AM (Oklahoma).
My mum had been suffering from mental health issues since 1982 i was only 5. . . When she was well my dad would play this for her on his record player as it was her favorite. . It would bring tears to her eyes and now it brings tears to my eyes as she passed in 2019 . . I loved her so much . God bless you so much mum.
I loved this song years ago and it still brings tears to my eyes today. I was 15yrs old when mum passed with a brain tumor at 37yrs old my life was turned upside down. Am now 61yrs old. Still miss her every day. It was such a young age to go. This songs for you mum. X
I'm so sorry you lost your mother. She left much too early in life. I lost my husband at 31 years old. Our sons do not remember him due to their being so young at the time. Be thankful you have your memories.
Sorry Mick L and Mimi , Sorry for both you and yours..to loose parent at tender age such a painful ...Take care both I send you warmth prayers for peace to ur loved ones....pls try Yoga breathing techniques followed by meditation ..once u get certain depth in meditation you can sense many subtle things and connect with past souls too...my own experience...take care sorry for unsolicited advice but I couldn't stop myself having sufferred
My fiancé died In 2019 and I listen to this to remind me of her . I truly miss her , my mom passed 6 months before fiancé did and it’s been extremely hard ever since . I’ve pretty much done with love.I’m just existing to the best of my ability.
One of my favorite songs ever. Reminds me of a young girl barely in her teens chasing fireflies,sitting on my front porch singing and hanging out with friends at the street light every night and happy, not a care in the world, only joy. I've give anything if I could go back to those days. Best days of my life, only I couldn't see it then. Well, I see it now. I was in such a hurry to grow up but time changes everything, especially our journey in life. Dreams fell by the wayside and its been a long journey but I keep going.But Honey will always be a very special song to me because it reminds me of how happy my life once was.If I could have one wish come true, I'd be that young girl again but I'd done alot of things different...if only I could.
Such beautiful memories.this is my 6 months I lost my beloved husband joseph. Sept6th. We are sh a ring a beautiful day together with your memories. Thank you❤❤❤
I know just how you feel and I understand your loss. I lost my wife of 35 years 5 years ago as of December 28th 2022. We were married when we were 19 years old we had known each other since we were 2 years old. We grew up together in every way and I miss her every day. I wish you the best very best.
The first time I heard this song as a child I cried,I'm now 63,it still makes me cry as now I've live both parents 2brothers, and only a brother that I follow and myself are left. Brings back memories.
At least in death you know they didn't walk out on you and your children because she was "UNHAPPY". Time eases the pain, but the scar remains forever. More for your children than yourself. God's grace abides and life goes on.
Over seventeen million of us have listened to this sad song and yet, what is even sadder, is generations of kids who came after us, have never heard of Honey, I Miss You.
My wife who passed away away of pancreatic cancer in Jan 31 2013 after 46 years of marriage I sit and evrrytime I hear this song I can't back the tears. It fir her perfectly
In 69 I played this song in a band. And I didn't know what he would mean to me today. I've been living with my honey for almost 40 years and this song tells me, I know I couldn't bear to lose her
the part where "a small cloud passes over head and cries down on the flower bed that Honey loved.." Actually, the poor guy is doing the crying. @@GloucesterODaugherty
The part of the line, "the angels came" speaks about her death. I think of my late first wife when I hear this song. She died 30+ years ago. Hearing this song still rips my heart out.
Sorry apatriotone. Hope your life has gotten better. Time doesn't heal old wounds. Life is cruel, and me being a man, I'm supposed to take loss, with a punch on the chin and just get on with life....Being a man can really suck.....
I swear to God this reminds me of my Mother. She is gone now. I can't but think of her. I was nine years old when she died. I have always loved this song. Every time I hear it, I think of her. I will always miss her and cry tears remembering her laughter and joy. She was only 32 when she died. She was murdered and her life was taken and yet, I still sit up and call her name. I cry for her love, the memories lost, I cry out to her. She was beautiful and lost before her time. This song sums it up. I love you Mom. I dedicate this song to you....Mom
Sharon Brown so sorry for all your time missed with your mom. It's wonderful that you still remember her laugh and have those memories. It's very hard to lose someone we love and sometimes I don't think we ever really get over it. I lost my mom 4 years ago and miss her terribly. I think they are watching over us and I think she is very proud of the woman you are today. Good luck and God bless you.
My dad use to listen to this very when my mother died. I will never forget that look on his face when he would hear this song. Life can be so cold sometimes.... But now they are together... thanks Bobby. You make dreams come true for those lost in this world
I can relate..my husband passed away 6 months ago...he used to watch and listen to this song via yt almost everyday..I even told him he must have memorized the song...I’m in tears when listening to this song😢
I’m 59 years old. Sitting here bawling my eyes out. The memories this song brought back. I heard it as a small girl and cried because I didn’t want my mom to die. I just lost her this Christmas Eve. I hadn’t talked to her in years. I’m sorry Mom.

i wrote this song for dion and the belmonts , but dion did not like it so i give it to johnny
Don't know how old you are, Leonor, sounds like you are still a young woman, let me tell you something, loneness is a killer of life, find someone, and be happy and good.
Although this song is about losing a wife, it was number one when my mom passed away in 68 when I was seven and it still brings me to tears. The beautiful soprano voice is angelic.
I feel your lose. No matter how many years it's made me cry, it REALLY hits home since I lost my love of my life about 3.5 years ago. Now....all I have to say is it took my 45 minutes to even bring me back enough to check the comments. Love ya Maggie...and I will until I die....and will as long as I'm allowed beyond that...if I can...and will fight with every fiber of my being to never forget throughout eternity.?my promise to you my love, my hope, may life miss ya baby. Until we are together again. Love ya babe. Never leave me
@@jimreadey4837 In my opinion it doesn't. Today's music isn't music for the soul or heart.This song means a lot to me too. You can call it living in the past or wharever. but one thing is certain. I played out late at night, I chased fireflies at night and could walk alone anywhere without being afraid of being kidnapped or shot. We never had to lock our doors. My mama and daddy were textile workers. We weren't poor and we weren't rich but we had real childhoods and teenage yrs . and we had love. My sister and I would sit on the front porch in rocking chairs , play records and sing our hearts out. Song's like " Honey " was a story telling song , as were many. .If life had a rewind button...I'd hit it hard. I'd go back to my childhood until a teenager of 14 yes old. Life was simple then ..Running, laughing, dancin, skating and we all ate meals together as a family. So I'll keep listening to Honey and many others because they remind me of things and times I wouldn't have wanted to miss for anything. Yes, life was precious then.
@@janetbrowntlc, just because you enjoy remembering your early years, and selected (though, certainly, not all) music from that time, doesn’t mean today’s music doesn’t deal with today’s life and reality. I never implied that today’s music lifts the heart or feeds the soul... only that it reflects the time we live in. I think your issue is that you don’t like the times you’re living in.
@@jimreadey4837 FYI , I know every song from that era . What you can't comprehend is life was so much simpler then for everyone. The dancing was classy not trashy.The music wasn't spitting out curse words..half naked. The music told stories. I was raised on Cash and Elvis but I love all oldies music including but not limited to ,Paul Anka, Jimmy Clanton, Procal Harum, Percy Sledge and Johnny Rivers,etc and music from the 80s.As for my life I have a very nice Apt.in town and a beautiful house on the lake. I drive my truck or my Jeep but I'd give everything I own to go back to that simple life for just an hour to see my mama , daddy and brother again . Nothing wrong with reminiscing about how simple life was back then. I know things change, I'm no idiot, but for the better..hell no ! Some people now days don't have a place to lay their head or food to eat unless they're someone with 15 baby daddy's. I worked all of my life but I got it backward. I should have walked the streets with a sign on my back..with the words "curb service".Most people have been more in reverse than I have forward but that's another show all together ( if you get my drift) I'm honest to a fault.America is in the worst shape it's ever been in. We're snowballig to hell...eyes wide open ! So yeah it makes me feel good to remember when life was simple and music was music. People need to start looking up to the one who's looking down.God help us all.🇱🇷 🙏
It would be impossible to give condolences to everyone that has lost a love and came here to listen to this song. Your stories are beautiful and melancholy, bless you all.
..i am 64 and in a. Rehab hospital now.My fatther.died when. He was just 34. My mom played this song almost every day for then first two years after my. Fathers death. I tjhought.I knew why .but now i kow.why Booby Goldsboro was the voice. I. Learned to love so .well. 🌳 ✋
A beautiful heart-wrenching song about a love lost. Even if one hasn't experienced it, one can just imagine how it would be...great lyrics to touch the soul.
2 Months Ago My Beloved Mother Passed Away At The Age Of 94. She Died On April 12th,2016. This Beautiful Song From 1968,Makes Me In Some Ways Wanting To Cry To Show How Much I Miss Honey Of A Mother I Had.I Will Miss Her Loving Smile Because She Was Always Happy To See Me. Later On September 2nd, 2016 I Had Another Death In My Family. My Niece Jessica Gordon Died From Liver Cancer At The Age Of 34.She Was Always Happy And Smiling And Never Gave Anyone Any Trouble. She Always Had A Positive Outlook On Life. I Will Always Miss Her Loving Smile And Presence As Well Missing Mailing Birthday And Christmas Cards To Her. She Was My Sister Donna's Daughter.
I lost my wife my love in March 1973. This song portrayed our life including the puppy. I dream of her always but even better we had a daughter (Noelle/ now 50) that reminds me of Beth every time I see her. 🥰
I planted a small tree in my mam's garden this summer. Mam is nearing the end of her life. No longer able to tend to her beloved garden, I found the tree still in it's pot, looking forlorn. Whilst visiting and helping to tend her garden I found it and planted it with loving care. I thought of this song. Love you mam.💕
I just looked this up after watching Lawrence Welk. Yep, I grew up listening and learning the 40s 50s 60s 70s songs from mom who now has advanced Alzheimers and Dad is gone. I'll be 60 this year, and funnily I had a crush on Bobby Goldsboro, but more than that, I learned about love and empathy from mom n dad way back when Honey made me choke up as a very young girl.
For SURE you see them again" I lost my mom years ago" i'm 70 years old now but I still miss her" but 10 YEARS ago I died 3 TIMES in the hospital on life support" for 5 days in a comer, but while all this was happening I was in heaven walking an talking with my sweet loving mother" so don't be sad because by GRACE you will see them again" I KNOW THIS FORSURE" BECAUSE I WAS THERE"!!
Love this song but it brings tears in my eyes all the time. I lost my son when he was just turning 3. Even its many years ago I will never forget and I miss him every Day.
Bless you Ma’am…I understand your never ending journey and pain. I lost my adored 20 year old son, Kyle 5 years ago and I know that I have a lifetime to go on this journey no one wants to walk. Our boys are with God, we will see them again-sending love & understanding❤
This song reminds me of my grandfather and grandmother until I was diagnosed with the deadliest disease in rheumatology. Now it's me and my husband. We don't know when I'll go but he's been with me every second and day of this painful disease plus more. I love you bubby.
I've listened to this song since I was a little girl. I'm 21 now. My grandma always use to play this. I know Every single world. She's still here with me and I'm so blessed for her presence but I always dedicated this song to her. Because her brother use to sing this to her before he passed away.. It's just a song that has a lot of meaning in our family ❤
Can't hold back my tears listening to this song... it remind me of my cute eldest daughter who died at six due to fire accident...i'm sure she is now happy with the angels in heaven..Hazel Jane i miss you..how i'd love to with if only i could...
I'm 65 and this song made me cry like a kid because my beautiful daughter died at 36 from pancreas cancer last June and... "Honey, I miss You, and I'm being good... and I'd love to be with you if only I could."
@@josevarela4101 I hear you I lost my 7 year old sister when I was a teen myself…we didn’t do all of this but I can picture we could have ..it brings tears to my eyes ..many years later God Bless
My heart goes out to you, my cousin! (No, I don’t know you, I call everyone my cousin.) Right now the dead are asleep (RIPing; Ecclesiastes 9:5; John 11:11-14); but you’ll see her again, in the coming Resurrection! - John 5:28,29; Acts 24:15
My twin sister, Brenda, passed away in a car accident 55 years ago today. This song (Honey) was so popular I played it all the time as I grieved Brenda’s passing. Our family believes in heaven and our broken chain will look No again one day. We miss you Brenda Your Twin sister, Barbara
This song always brings a tear as it always reminds me of the love I've lost. She's been gone a little over 8 years yet it seems like it was this mornimg.
OMG! Everytime I hear this song, I cry. So very sad, and, at the same time, projecting such a beautiful love. The other thing is, as I listen to the lyrics, I also envision. And that's when I lose it. Not to mention, during the entire song, my never ending goose bumps. It's just such a powerful song. Whereas, I relate to most of my life to music, good, and bad. I rely on my music, to continue to give me strength. To, persevere, as difficult, and life threatening, as it has been, I have the music. We need to hold onto something, that is/will, be dear to us. To continue to fight, what will become, the inevitable.
I found a soul mate with for music, but hold onto God's unchanging hands. He will never fail us nor leave us alone. I don't think I could live without music. God gave me that talent.
I learned on my own that my ex wife passed away this song brings back the fond memories when were together regardless of the fallouts and misunderstandings tina marie james may you rest in peace!
My lost my dad when I was 9yrs old, I'm now 66. I remembered walking into the front room afterwards when she thought us kids were asleep, she was sitting there in the dark crying, almost every night. She loved him so so much, and now a widow with 3 small kids. To this day I remembered my dad's death and mom listening to Honey as if it was yesterday 😢.
@@puggedpoetry129 my heartfelt sympathies on losing your mum at age 7 !!! she is still with you daily; continue talking to her daily. betty gordon, ames, iowa
My wife will never erase in my mind she passed away December of 2020 l love her very much she left me but l know she is in the blossom of our Father GOD
Sweetest saddest song ever. I cried and sang along Didn't miss a word!! Not one! Seasons in the sun was a tearjerker too. Those days when we listened over and over and over again til we got the words right. Kinda sad our kids will never know that kind of childlike Tranquility of the 60/70's🤩🌟💕😇💫😢
I was born in 63. AM/FM radio & the charts back then were full of tear-jerkers, even later into the 70's when we were breaking others' & getting our own hearts' broken for the 1st time. So many multi-purpose sad songs - I've connected w/adopted many as my own over the yrs, but "Honey" was amongst my 1st, & still tugs at my heart w/the paws of that long-lost Fluffy-dawg o'myne. Blessed Be those we've lost & those who still grieve. May your oceans of tears someday settle into a sentimental sea of smiling memories. We deserve recall of happy times, so that we might carry on w/these lovely thoughts in our hearts, w/peace of mind & in love's grace, which is eternal.
This was the first 45 record that I bought with money I earned from babysitting. I took it home and played it over and over and over. My mom never complained. I'm 64 now. Still love the song.
This song takes me back to a wonderful time. A time when you never lost your car keys because they were always in the car. There were no locks on the door to the house and if someone was in your house while you were out grocery shopping, they most likely left an apple pie on the table. God, I miss those days....
i'm 59 yrs old..i remember when this song first came out . it was 1968.. and this song means more to me now,,.. my is 69, i'm 59,.. and I know, that life is a fleeting thing... and this song, still ..tears me up....for I don't, .. wan't to lose her...
My mother played this song over and over when I was 4 or 5 years old. I would twirl and pretend I was one of the angels. I shared it with my husband. Once I got cancer he never let me play it around him again
This song has been playing in my head for months .
Could believe I come here and found it on 3rd of April 2024 at 2;05am . A must for my next Sunday Afternoon Oldies mix
I lost my beloved husband just over a year ago and we both loved this sons our 49 years that God granted to us was just not long enough I’ll forever miss him and he’ll always be my husband my one and only😢😢❤❤
Get blessed Mary
I’m so sorry for your loss. My husband of 38 years passed away September 29th of this year. 😢😢😢 my heart is broken 💔💔💔😢😢😭😭
My mom used to listen to a 70s CD she had with us in the car a lot. This song was on there. I lost her to cancer 14 years ago when I was 14. My dad listened to it with me after she passed. I lost him 4 months ago to cancer as well. I miss my mom and dad every single day and words could not describe it. This song never fails to make me cry, even as I’m typing. Love your loved ones as hard as you can while you have them ❤
My tight hugs for you❤
My mother ,brother and I used to this song a lot in the 70's well the whole album really .My Dad was overseas a lot and we pray every night for him to come back safe and he did ,but unfortunately my parents divorced when I was 9 and mom would cry to the Jesus picture every night.
Dear PJ, this song is powerful. Not many can listen to it without missing those we lost. Keep the love you all shared alive. They wouldn't want you to be sad. They're watching over you and listening to this song with. Blessings be with you. Sending you a great big hug and love.❤😇🥰
Songs always anchor or thoughts and memories .
i can understand i lost both my parents to cancer and my brother only 46 died from cancer too!
My mother used to listen to this song, she told me it reminded her of her brother who passed away. Fast forward 34 years later, I listen to this song and think of my mother, who passed away on Valentines day 1990. I love Mom and still think of you.
My wife, partner, soulmate, friend, Love, LaVonne, went to heaven early in the morning of May 19, 2024. Yesterday, May 30, was the 27th anniversary of the day we met, at a church dance, when she came up to me and asked if I wanted to dance… we were married the next December and I miss her SO MUCH! “…and I’d love to be with you, if only I could.”
“And it was in the early spring when flowers bloom, and robins sing, she went away.”
I love you LaVonne. Thank you for sharing all those wonderful minutes, hours, days, years with me. I’m glad you’re in Heaven now, free from pain.
So sorry for your tremendous loss. ❤@stevemarsh7
My wife, soulmate, best friend, and the LOVE of my life passed away September 29, 1973. She drowned in the Atlantic Ocean in Wilmington, NC. I pray when I pass away I'll see her in Heaven. It's been a long time. This year it will have been 50 years ago she passed away. Even today I still shed tears because she passed away. We both were very young. I still love her very much.
She is waiting for you in Heaven James, You will be with her for eternity one day my friend, from Carlo in Manchester, England 🏴 🙏🕊️.

This was one of my mom's favorite songs. I've requested to play it at her funeral next week. I never expected to lose my mom at 18. She passed away from pancreatic cancer on Thursday. God I miss you so much mommy but I hope you are walking with angels. You don't deserve any less.
Alexis Susanne Hogan-Hobson I'm sorry for your loss. Allow your memories of her love, her loving spirit to guide you and comfort you in times of trouble. She will send you signs now and then that she's not really gone, just "up above" watching out for you. Always. Let HER love flow your hands, words, and heart Alexis.
Wade Nelson thank you.
Alexis my mom also died of pancreatic cancer it will be 4 years this Christmas eve and I loved her so... this song also reminds me of her. God bless you and keep you.
Alexis Susanne Hogan-Hobson
Alexis Susanne Hogan-Hobson I am so sorry about your mother. Lost my dad the same way, but he was almost ninety. I have no words that would offer adequate comfort.
I lost my wife and daughter in 1977. I listen to this to this day. I always cry. I miss her so
Peace friend 🙏
🙏 r.i.p. (❤️🇮🇹)
Didnt you get married again?
❤❤❤❤

The first time I heard this song was April 1968 and it made me cry. I am listening now April 2023, and it still makes me cry.
Smiles, how are you doing Julie?
Hello, how are you feeling today and the entire family and friends doing today I really enjoy this song when I was young with momma and mom
It proves that you have a tender soul despite what others may see in you!
Julie, have you stopped crying, darling?
My husband went to heaven last spring, Easter to be exact. I truly love this song
Hello Carol, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Mine suddenly went home 12/11/22, at just 74. Nearly 49 years married . For some reason thus song just popped into my head tonight! I'm so lonely 52 years together..
May he rest in peace 🙏 and God bless
I can now understand this song. My beloved wife of 50 years passed away six months ago. I am in an empty house. Playing this song hits me like a sledgehammer.
🫂
🎉
I'm so sorry for your loss. Just keep your faith and you'll be with her again someday. God bless you sir.

I lost my mother too two years ago. I had a dreamed with her in my dream last night. She did not like some of clothes.
Just beautiful, those were the days when song writers wrote 3 minute songs that told stories that would take others 200 pages to write!
Truth!..and they capture every emotion!
I lost my beloved better-half 11 years ago and only able to hear this beautiful music and so grateful to listen to it everytime.
The writer actually wrote another haunting gem, "Little Green Apples."
WHAT A SONG:
ALL I HAVE IS MEMORIES - I WAKE UP NIGHTS AND CALL HER NAME AND LIFE IS BUT, AN EMPTY STAGE....AND, HONEY, I MISS YOU AND I ALWAYS WILL...
---Honey
Bobby Goldsboro
See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend, it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
I laughed at her, and she got mad
The first day that she planted it
Was just a twig
Then the first snow came
And she ran out to brush the snow away
So it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed 'til I cried
She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb, and kinda smart
And I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve
Two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
When I came in from workin' late
'Cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin'
Over some sad and silly late, late show
And honey, I miss you
And I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could
She wrecked the car, and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad
But, what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly
And caught her cryin' needlessly
In the middle of the day
And it was in the early spring
When flowers bloom, and robins sing
She went away
And honey, I miss you
And I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could
One day while I was not at home
While she was there, and all alone
The angels came
Now all I have is memories of honey
And I wake up nights
And call her name
Now my life's an empty stage
Where honey lived, and honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes over head
And cries down on the flower bed that
Honey loved
And see the tree, how big it's grown
But friend, it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
And I laughed at her, and she got mad
The first day that she planted it
Was just a twig
I’m 64 and just found this song. I lost my best friend and wife on Dec 28, 2023, in her sleep. I still cry when I think of her but those first six months were so hard. We had different tastes but our love overcame everything. We were 3 weeks from our 24th anniversary. I still miss you and love you, baby! I was supposed to go first. I’ll see you again in Heaven.
Being only 19 years old now, I didn't know about this song growing up. The first time I heard it was in the car with my then 58 year old dad in early 2010. My mom had passed away in September 2009 from kidney failure. When it came on the radio, he told me that she used to love this song, while he used to think it was lame, given he was just a wannabe macho high school boy when it came out. Listening to it with him, I realized that Honey sounded exactly like my mom, who was a very emotional person. I think he got the picture. He was in tears by the end of the song. I finally realized what it really meant. Before they were my parents, they were just a young couple in love. Married over 30 years, he had just lost his long time sweetheart. And now I get a chill down my spine whenever I hear this song.
That's a precious story....
You have incredible emotions and understanding for your age. God bless you.
Like your story... From philippines
This song has a SPECIAL MEANING to me, I will just listen to this song and go back in time
I love reading story of real life, everybody has story to tell.
The reasons God wanted us to experience real life, real love.
Love is Life ; as God Is Love!
This song makes me miss my mom, who owned this album. Cant get through it without crying like a baby. Give your mothers a hug for a boy who grew up wishing he had more time with his own mother.
💔😪
Such beautiful words Derek,me too,I feel your pain my friend❤
I know that feeling too well, I miss my ma everyday of my life.
You’re not alone...
I met a beautiful native American gal right before the pandemic. She was thrilled we met and so was I. She worked in a hospital lab. When the virus hit most of the lab staff quit for obvious reasons. She stuck with her job. With the shortage of workers, the hospital scheduled her for more hours. I tried to tell her NOT to work too many overtime but she told me she needed the extra money. She was a single parent.
One day I visited her and she was fine. In the back of my mind I was keenly aware of the pandemic and her job as a lab technician and the real possibility of her getting exposed to it. Anyway, I saw her and a week after she told me she was sick. This was in March of 2020. She stayed home and didn't go to work for obvious reasons. Then two weeks went by. She texted me saying she was going to the hospital because she was just too sick.
I received about 2 or 3 texts from her while in the hospital. The last text I got from her said, "When is this going to end?!!"
I continued to text her despite not getting any replies. Almost 3 weeks went by. I continued to send her encouraging messages. Messages like, I missed you and hope you get well soon and go home.
Still no texts til one day in one of my texts I told her, "I'm beginning to believe you may be upset with me because I failed to visit you in the hospital." I added, "I'm sure you're home now recuping and you may have decided I'm not the kind of person you'd want to associate with so I'll wish you a fast and full recovery and the best of luck. Love, M."
Well, another week went by and still no answer from her. Then one late afternoon I was driving to another state when I got a call. I answered it and it was a young lady who asked me if I was Mike who "was leaving my mom text messages." I said I was. She told me that her mom had passed from the virus two weeks earlier. My heart broke. I had to pull off the road. I miss her sooooooo much. 💔 x 1000000000000
Just lost my wife of 53 years. Tried to listen to this, but can't. But I remember it from so long ago, great song but you know, a little too sweet at the. time. Fast forward to now and it's like it was written for me. Thank you Bobby, maybe I can listen someday, but not today.
Sorry for your loss. I feel the same about not being able to listen to this. It is a beautiful song, but it puts me in such a bad place emotionally. It's just too sad.
@@denisesurber8176 Thank you, I can listen to it now but don't. Grief does get easier but loneliness never stops.
My deepest condolences 🙏
I lost my wife 6 months ago after 53 years together. This song has so many parallels of our life. I remember surprising her with a puppy. 😢
Omg, how sad!! ❤
My wife of 53 years loved this song,i had it played at her funeral,and how i miss her is beyond words.It's been nearly 6 years since we layed her to rest in that cold lonesome gravesight.I left her grave with my head in my hands,and left her there with GOD.I still miss her tonight as much as i did that cold day when i left her and her beautiful smile to never return.Love my Barbara Ann.
I hope you are doing ok Freddie. I wish you the best.
I lost my Barbara Ann almost 5 years and I know what lonesome is. We were married 54 years and it was still not enough time.
I just buried my husband of 55 years last month. I know that feeling and I expect I will feel the same every day for the rest of my life. God Bless you, she will be waiting for you when you get there!
I know ur feelings bro
No evangelho de João capítulo 5:28,29 Jesus promete que veremos nossos ente queridos que adormeceram na morte, e apocalipse 21:3,4 diz que poderemos viver para sempre num paraíso na terra sem o sofrimento que afligem a todos no mundo de hoje. Salmo: 37:9,10
I hesitated to listen to this song, I recently lost my wife of 57 years and this really hits close to home. I will always love her and I miss her so.
Don, I'm so sorry for your loss. God bless your wife's soul and may you both be reunited in paradise.
Soo sorry for your loss Don......what beautiful memories you have to cherish.
Sorry for your lost .. all the memories you guys shared together and her smile will always bring you peace. In sure somewhere she is looking and thinking of you too
Don, I know what you mean. This song reminds me of my little sister that passed away when she five before her sixth birthday. I was eleven. I like listening to our favorite songs. It brings back so many sweet memories. Condolences on your loss.
I lost my son and x-mas really kills me. :'(

This song is a dagger in the hearts of all of us who suffer the loss of a loved one. I lost my only daughter ... and I´m moved every time I listen to this song...
I lost my only daughter also ... abrazo amigo

@@garyrafferty7625 Me too. I fight the tears all the time now. Does it ever end?
@@OregonDARRYL the missing remains... but it does hurt less and less over time. Look for GriefShare or Compassionate Friends groups in your area.
That Hurts Really😢😢😢
Ok here I am I lost my son in 22 Iam lost
So much of it REMINDS me of my husband. He always caught me crying watching a show. I miss him still 5 ,years later. ❤❤.
I am 60 years old and from Switzerland (Lucerne). I heard this song from Bobby Goldsboro for the first time in 1969 and I still like to listen to it, a great classic. I still like to listen to the music of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. Dennis Herger
My daughter Sherry and I used to listen to this song together from the time she was little.She was born in 1970 and died in 2003 at the age of 32.This song reminds me so much of her.
Ruth, So Bad&Sad, I More than understand that This tune is Very Special to You...
Sorry for your loss. My brother and sister in law buried two of their children and I cannot imagine the pain of it. God bless you Ruth.
Take care Ruth, please remember, someone is thInking of you today. xxx GOD BLESS

L.C.,Ed,Lori, and Mark thank you for understanding,and thanks for the love and caring.

This was my Dad's favourite song, he often listened to it with a tear in his eye.
R.I.P Dad...God bless ♥️
I lost my dear mother and sister in 1968 to a drunk driver. I was only 12.This song still brings tears to my eyes.I t was released shortly after they died. This song always hits my heart when I hear it. Reminds me of losing them both suddenly!

I lost my dad ur ago I miss him so so much
I am so sorry. Yeah I miss my dad 😢 Why does Love hurt so bad?
God I'm so sorry,I just wanted to play chill out music,

I lost my Honey 6 months ago and she was everything I ever had that meant everything to me. She was truly the love of my life! And I miss her so! Life is a gift from God. I cherish the time that we shared together if only I could turn back time.
I feel you💕
Sorry for your loss
I'm 65 years old now and still listening to the song Honey by Goldsboro I remember when I had a transistor radio in the wintertime and little ear plug in my ear and this song came on for the very first time I have never stopped loving this song it just means so much to me it's the best song I've ever heard I think it's the best thing that's ever been written and the song is entitled honey
Gosh, I'd forgotten about the little ear plug for the transistor radios. I can remember being a kid in the 70's and all the stations were on AM (Oklahoma).
My mum had been suffering from mental health issues since 1982 i was only 5. . . When she was well my dad would play this for her on his record player as it was her favorite. . It would bring tears to her eyes and now it brings tears to my eyes as she passed in 2019 . . I loved her so much . God bless you so much mum.
This is one of the best and beautiful songs of all time.
Guy who wrote it also wrote "Little Green Apples."
I came to check lyrics as I had got the 2 songs mixed up in my head.
I loved this song years ago and it still brings tears to my eyes today. I was 15yrs old when mum passed with a brain tumor at 37yrs old my life was turned upside down. Am now 61yrs old. Still miss her every day. It was such a young age to go. This songs for you mum. X
I'm so sorry you lost your mother. She left much too early in life. I lost my husband at 31 years old. Our sons do not remember him due to their being so young at the time. Be thankful you have your memories.
Sorry Mick L and Mimi , Sorry for both you and yours..to loose parent at tender age such a painful ...Take care both I send you warmth prayers for peace to ur loved ones....pls try Yoga breathing techniques followed by meditation ..once u get certain depth in meditation you can sense many subtle things and connect with past souls too...my own experience...take care sorry for unsolicited advice but I couldn't stop myself having sufferred
My fiancé died In 2019 and I listen to this to remind me of her . I truly miss her , my mom passed 6 months before fiancé did and it’s been extremely hard ever since . I’ve pretty much done with love.I’m just existing to the best of my ability.
You R NOT ALONE
I do hope you get counseling to deal with your grief.
My moms favorite song, she recently left me to be with the Lord😭. Rest in peace Mom i miss you so much

sorry for ur lost..my fav.song also. just luv to listened it again and again..
😥
Keep strong. She's proud of you there in heaven.
My wife, 37 years of marriage gone🥲
One of my favorite songs ever. Reminds me of a young girl barely in her teens chasing fireflies,sitting on my front porch singing and hanging out with friends at the street light every night and happy, not a care in the world, only joy. I've give anything if I could go back to those days. Best days of my life, only I couldn't see it then. Well, I see it now. I was in such a hurry to grow up but time changes everything, especially our journey in life. Dreams fell by the wayside and its been a long journey but I keep going.But Honey will always be a very special song to me because it reminds me of how happy my life once was.If I could have one wish come true, I'd be that young girl again but I'd done alot of things different...if only I could.
Thank you Janet. Your words took me back too , to so many young , happy and carefree times filled with joyful love 🤗🙏.

I know just how you feel and I understand your loss. I lost my wife of 35 years 5 years ago as of December 28th 2022. We were married when we were 19 years old we had known each other since we were 2 years old. We grew up together in every way and I miss her every day. I wish you the best very best.
Thank you Brian Meade
My sympathies Kevin.
Sorry for your loss but believe me you will see her again oneday
⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘❤
Myself, mine is 8 months ago.
The first time I heard this song as a child I cried,I'm now 63,it still makes me cry as now I've live both parents 2brothers, and only a brother that I follow and myself are left. Brings back memories.
My mother's name was Honey. She left a month ago. Indeed, she was the sweetest... I miss her terribly.
At least in death you know they didn't walk out on you and your children because she was "UNHAPPY". Time eases the pain, but the scar remains forever. More for your children than yourself. God's grace abides and life goes on.
hugs and kisses to from me my Mamas song.. beautiful song of love from our Angels

Over seventeen million of us have listened to this sad song and yet, what is even sadder, is generations of kids who came after us, have never heard of Honey, I Miss You.
I dedicated this song to my oldest sister, she passed away suddenly fourteen years ago...... I still cry when I hear it. She had loved it so much.

My wife who passed away away of pancreatic cancer in Jan 31 2013 after 46 years of marriage I sit and evrrytime I hear this song I can't back the tears. It fir her perfectly
😢
In 69 I played this song in a band. And I didn't know what he would mean to me today. I've been living with my honey for almost 40 years and this song tells me, I know I couldn't bear to lose her
I can never get through this song with out tears streaming down my face
Me too
Same here.
I don’t know what it is but it’s impossible to listen to without a good cry
the part where "a small cloud passes over head and cries down on the flower bed that Honey loved.." Actually, the poor guy is doing the crying.
@@GloucesterODaugherty
Me either 😢😢
The part of the line, "the angels came" speaks about her death. I think of my late first wife when I hear this song. She died 30+ years ago. Hearing this song still rips my heart out.
My beloved wife of 34 years passed away last month. Oh Lord this makes me think of her.
Me too.. mine was taken too soon .. she was only 43
Komodo song
My sympathies friend.
Sorry apatriotone. Hope your life has gotten better. Time doesn't heal old wounds. Life is cruel, and me being a man, I'm supposed to take loss, with a punch on the chin and just get on with life....Being a man can really suck.....
My thoughts are with you sir. I cannot imagine how you feel. 😢
I swear to God this reminds me of my Mother. She is gone now. I can't but think of her. I was nine years old when she died. I have always loved this song. Every time I hear it, I think of her. I will always miss her and cry tears remembering her laughter and joy. She was only 32 when she died. She was murdered and her life was taken and yet, I still sit up and call her name. I cry for her love, the memories lost, I cry out to her. She was beautiful and lost before her time. This song sums it up. I love you Mom. I dedicate this song to you....Mom
Sharon Brown so sorry for all your time missed with your mom. It's wonderful that you still remember her laugh and have those memories. It's very hard to lose someone we love and sometimes I don't think we ever really get over it. I lost my mom 4 years ago and miss her terribly. I think they are watching over us and I think she is very proud of the woman you are today. Good luck and God bless you.
some times sad songs are cool Sharon. stay happy :)
Bless you sharon,you will see her again some day ,love has no boundaries.
Sharon Brown Am sorry to hear that it's very sad .
God bless you boy
My dad use to listen to this very when my mother died. I will never forget that look on his face when he would hear this song. Life can be so cold sometimes.... But now they are together... thanks Bobby. You make dreams come true for those lost in this world
Asking sa akin huli na naiwan ko tapos babalit pa la ako sa kanya oh honey I miss you
Indeed it is poignant and heart wrenching..songs when I was a young girl
Oh my love i miss you
😭😭 YES, TOGETHER FOR EVER.
I can relate..my husband passed away 6 months ago...he used to watch and listen to this song via yt almost everyday..I even told him he must have memorized the song...I’m in tears when listening to this song😢
Everything is perfect in this song. The arrangement, the backing vocals...and Bobby Goldsboro' s voice.
So true, there should be more like this one.
Really?
Except the ending. It was too rushed.
I'm not even married or in a relationship, but this song hurts so deeply all the same.
True
Really ...how old are you sir ...
So sorry. We have all been thru it many times linda

What a tear-jerker. Anyone who is not moved by this gorgeous song doesn't know what emotion is! A true classic.
I so totally agree. :'(

1408alan this spng is absolutely beautiful. It just tore my heart out. I can't st crying. I don't know if i will ever stop crying!!!
You are so right and im only 12 i feel it 😭
I’m 59 years old. Sitting here bawling my eyes out. The memories this song brought back. I heard it as a small girl and cried because I didn’t want my mom to die. I just lost her this Christmas Eve. I hadn’t talked to her in years. I’m sorry Mom.
i wrote this song for dion and the belmonts , but dion did not like it so i give it to johnny
Except Bobby Russell wrote this song
@@dawnstone4424 i tried to fool u
This is a great song. It takes on a greater significance to me because I lost my wife a couple of months ago.
I feel your pain. My wife of 16 years passsed away almost 10 months ago from a massive stroke. The stroke happened right in front of me at my house.
This song always make me cry a little bit,a sad but happy cry. A timeless classic. It will never get old.
I lost my husband when he was 45..
And this song make me cry. Just missing u honey. And i am being good
That was a year ago. How about now?
Sorry for your loss Leonor. Time doesn't heal all wounds, but memories grow do fonder. Bless You
Don't know how old you are, Leonor, sounds like you are still a young woman, let me tell you something, loneness is a killer of life, find someone, and be happy and good.
If only i could
If only i could
Although this song is about losing a wife, it was number one when my mom passed away in 68 when I was seven and it still brings me to tears. The beautiful soprano voice is angelic.
I feel your lose. No matter how many years it's made me cry, it REALLY hits home since I lost my love of my life about 3.5 years ago. Now....all I have to say is it took my 45 minutes to even bring me back enough to check the comments. Love ya Maggie...and I will until I die....and will as long as I'm allowed beyond that...if I can...and will fight with every fiber of my being to never forget throughout eternity.?my promise to you my love, my hope, may life miss ya baby. Until we are together again. Love ya babe. Never leave me
Back when songs were about life and reality. We grew up with them and in time, find comfort in the words. We are lucky to have lived when we did.
Just because you’re still living in your past reality, George, doesn’t mean today’s music doesn’t deal with today’s life and reality.
Amen brother
@@jimreadey4837 In my opinion it doesn't. Today's music isn't music for the soul or heart.This song means a lot to me too. You can call it living in the past or wharever. but one thing is certain. I played out late at night, I chased fireflies at night and could walk alone anywhere without being afraid of being kidnapped or shot. We never had to lock our doors. My mama and daddy were textile workers. We weren't poor and we weren't rich but we had real childhoods and teenage yrs . and we had love. My sister and I would sit on the front porch in rocking chairs , play records and sing our hearts out. Song's like " Honey " was a story telling song , as were many. .If life had a rewind button...I'd hit it hard. I'd go back to my childhood until a teenager of 14 yes old. Life was simple then ..Running, laughing, dancin, skating and we all ate meals together as a family. So I'll keep listening to Honey and many others because they remind me of things and times I wouldn't have wanted to miss for anything. Yes, life was precious then.
@@janetbrowntlc, just because you enjoy remembering your early years, and selected (though, certainly, not all) music from that time, doesn’t mean today’s music doesn’t deal with today’s life and reality.
I never implied that today’s music lifts the heart or feeds the soul... only that it reflects the time we live in.
I think your issue is that you don’t like the times you’re living in.
@@jimreadey4837 FYI , I know every song from that era . What you can't comprehend is life was so much simpler then for everyone. The dancing was classy not trashy.The music wasn't spitting out curse words..half naked. The music told stories. I was raised on Cash and Elvis but I love all oldies music including but not limited to ,Paul Anka, Jimmy Clanton, Procal Harum, Percy Sledge and Johnny Rivers,etc and music from the 80s.As for my life I have a very nice Apt.in town and a beautiful house on the lake. I drive my truck or my Jeep but I'd give everything I own to go back to that simple life for just an hour to see my mama , daddy and brother again . Nothing wrong with reminiscing about how simple life was back then. I know things change, I'm no idiot, but for the better..hell no ! Some people now days don't have a place to lay their head or food to eat unless they're someone with 15 baby daddy's. I worked all of my life but I got it backward. I should have walked the streets with a sign on my back..with the words "curb service".Most people have been more in reverse than I have forward but that's another show all together ( if you get my drift)
I'm honest to a fault.America is in the worst shape it's ever been in. We're snowballig to hell...eyes wide open ! So yeah it makes me feel good to remember when life was simple and music was music. People need to start looking up to the one who's looking down.God help us all.🇱🇷 🙏
It would be impossible to give condolences to everyone that has lost a love and came here to listen to this song. Your stories are beautiful and melancholy, bless you all.
..i am 64 and in
a. Rehab hospital now.My fatther.died when. He was just 34. My mom played this song almost every day for then first two years after my. Fathers death. I tjhought.I knew why
.but now i kow.why Booby Goldsboro was the voice. I. Learned to love so .well. 🌳 ✋
Thank you for for understanding and your kind words. ✋
Thank you.
A beautiful heart-wrenching song about a love lost. Even if one hasn't experienced it, one can just imagine how it would be...great lyrics to touch the soul.

I lost my wife my love in March 1973. This song portrayed our life including the puppy. I dream of her always but even better we had a daughter (Noelle/ now 50) that reminds me of Beth every time I see her. 🥰
I planted a small tree in my mam's garden this summer. Mam is nearing the end of her life. No longer able to tend to her beloved garden, I found the tree still in it's pot, looking forlorn. Whilst visiting and helping to tend her garden I found it and planted it with loving care. I thought of this song. Love you mam.💕
My parents are both turning 90 this year. I know how you feel
I am so sorry.
This song honey ddecated to my Boom panis tropa,love you all,
My Mother is 86 now so I know the feeling of losing her a little bit more every day.
I just looked this up after watching Lawrence Welk. Yep, I grew up listening and learning the 40s 50s 60s 70s songs from mom who now has advanced Alzheimers and Dad is gone. I'll be 60 this year, and funnily I had a crush on Bobby Goldsboro, but more than that, I learned about love and empathy from mom n dad way back when Honey made me choke up as a very young girl.
Simple Music can make you sing. a Simple hug can make you feel better, Simple things can make you happy, i hope my Simple Hello makes you smile..
Hello Teresa, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??

Love this song but it brings tears in my eyes all the time. I lost my son when he was just turning 3. Even its many years ago I will never forget and I miss him every Day.
The pain of losing a child never goes away, but God…… He gives us Grace to get through. I’m sorry for your loss 🤗
Bless you Ma’am…I understand your never ending journey and pain. I lost my adored 20 year old son, Kyle 5 years ago and I know that I have a lifetime to go on this journey no one wants to walk.
Our boys are with God, we will see them again-sending love & understanding❤
So sad....really sorry....God bless you...

This song reminds me of my grandfather and grandmother until I was diagnosed with the deadliest disease in rheumatology. Now it's me and my husband. We don't know when I'll go but he's been with me every second and day of this painful disease plus more. I love you bubby.
Be strong & great full for having someone by your side who loves you. May God keep you
I've listened to this song since I was a little girl. I'm 21 now. My grandma always use to play this. I know Every single world. She's still here with me and I'm so blessed for her presence but I always dedicated this song to her. Because her brother use to sing this to her before he passed away.. It's just a song that has a lot of meaning in our family ❤
Can't hold back my tears listening to this song... it remind me of my cute eldest daughter who died at six due to fire accident...i'm sure she is now happy with the angels in heaven..Hazel Jane i miss you..how i'd love to with if only i could...
sin duda entre las veinte baladas mas exquisitas yexcelsas tanto por su letra y mensaje como por su ritmo y musicalidad ,inmortal sin duda!!!!!!
I'm 65 and this song made me cry like a kid because my beautiful daughter died at 36 from pancreas cancer last June and... "Honey, I miss You, and I'm being good... and I'd love to be with you if only I could."

Sorry man ,I lost both my parents in 97. And it still hurts to this day...
A big hit for Bobby, charted high and was on the charts a long time, a real tear jerker, and I still cant listen to it without choking up.
My twin sister, Brenda, passed away in a car accident 55 years ago today. This song (Honey) was so popular I played it all the time as I grieved Brenda’s passing. Our family believes in heaven and our broken chain will look No again one day. We miss you Brenda Your Twin sister, Barbara

Ditto
Lost my love in 1983. Still hurts.
This is one of most beautiful songs of the past I've ever heard
So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song. Hello
When I heard this song as a young child, I’d cry. Every. Single. Time.
Number one on the day I was born. My favorite song since I first heard it... didn't find out about it being Number One until forty years later.
Me too. And I’m 64 now.
I'm now 60 and still tear up every time I hear this song
I still do, and I'm 64
OMG! Everytime I hear this song, I cry. So very sad, and, at the same time, projecting such a beautiful love. The other thing is, as I listen to the lyrics, I also envision. And that's when I lose it. Not to mention, during the entire song, my never ending goose bumps. It's just such a powerful song. Whereas, I relate to most of my life to music, good, and bad. I rely on my music, to continue to give me strength. To, persevere, as difficult, and life threatening, as it has been, I have the music. We need to hold onto something, that is/will, be dear to us. To continue to fight, what will become, the inevitable.
I found a soul mate with for music, but hold onto God's unchanging hands. He will never fail us nor leave us alone. I don't think I could live without music. God gave me that talent.
I feel you i know the feeling s ometimes when you think will last forever never can be
I learned on my own that my ex wife passed away this song brings back the fond memories when were together regardless of the fallouts and misunderstandings tina marie james may you rest in peace!
sorry
My lost my dad when I was 9yrs old, I'm now 66. I remembered walking into the front room afterwards when she thought us kids were asleep, she was sitting there in the dark crying, almost every night. She loved him so so much, and now a widow with 3 small kids. To this day I remembered my dad's death and mom listening to Honey as if it was yesterday 😢.
My earliest memory of this song was when they played it at my mums funeral when I was 4. Still can’t listen to it without bawling my eyes out
My mom passed when I was 7 and this song was #1 that year so I always think about her when I hear it.
Awwwww I’m so very sorry.....

Sweetest saddest song ever. I cried and sang along
Didn't miss a word!! Not one!
Seasons in the sun was a tearjerker too. Those days when we listened over and over and over again til we got the words right. Kinda sad our kids will never know that kind of childlike Tranquility of the 60/70's🤩🌟💕😇💫😢
Hello doll ❤ I'm a child of the 60s and 70s too.
Hello
I was born in 63. AM/FM radio & the charts back then were full of tear-jerkers, even later into the 70's when we were breaking others' & getting our own hearts' broken for the 1st time. So many multi-purpose sad songs - I've connected w/adopted many as my own over the yrs, but "Honey" was amongst my 1st, & still tugs at my heart w/the paws of that long-lost Fluffy-dawg o'myne. Blessed Be those we've lost & those who still grieve. May your oceans of tears someday settle into a sentimental sea of smiling memories. We deserve recall of happy times, so that we might carry on w/these lovely thoughts in our hearts, w/peace of mind & in love's grace, which is eternal.
Hello Anna, how are you doing?
This was the first 45 record that I bought with money I earned from babysitting. I took it home and played it over and over and over. My mom never complained. I'm 64 now. Still love the song.

Wow my husband just passed on 2-1-19 and he told me stories of his bro bringing a reelto reel home from Vietnam how sad
This song is favorite of my father. He died 2 weeks ago and this song instantly became my favorite song to hear whenever I miss him :(
This song takes me back to a wonderful time. A time when you never lost your car keys because they were always in the car. There were no locks on the door to the house and if someone was in your house while you were out grocery shopping, they most likely left an apple pie on the table. God, I miss those days....
The good old days
When will I see you again?;Well you never know what when n then heaven help you out . Thank you God Bless 🙏 You All too
Just love it
An absolute gem of a song. I'm 57 yrs old and I remember when this first came out.

My mother played this song over and over when I was 4 or 5 years old. I would twirl and pretend I was one of the angels. I shared it with my husband. Once I got cancer he never let me play it around him again
It reminds me of someone
