I watched you walking on the beach today for a while , you found the shell I left for you and you smiled , but I could still sense the sadness I could see it in your eyes, it was just my way of saying goodbye. I saw you go into the old cafe, the one where we used to meet , I stood outside on the pavement saw you take the window seat, I pressed my face against the glass as if to kiss your cheek, it was just my way of saying goodbye. I saw you taking buster for a walk in the park, the way we always did together just before dark, I bet you wondered why he started to bark , almost like he knew i was there . I sat with you on the bus to the cemetery , I listened, . to every single word you said to me , I never realised that those departed could still cry, I guess it was your way of saying goodbye. time has passed and again you walk these sands, this time your'e holding someone else's hand , I can almost feel you squeeze it like you used to squeeze mine , I'll be leaving now I know your'e gonna be fine. And Buster's here with me , I was there the night he died , his tail is wagging hard as he stands here by my side , A light is shining brightly now , I think for us it's time, we'll leave here knowing , your'e gonna be fine.
I don’t know what to say anymore. This one blows me away, Frank. You are simply a master at melody, lyrics, storytelling… you will be BELOVED for so many,many years, long after we are all dust. Another Bravo. Beloved. ❤️🎶❤️
You’ve got an amazing voice, and I love listening to your songs. Truly, it’s okay that you don’t know where your songs are going, feelings and art are like that. We’ll be here listening if you need anything. I’ve loved watching your songs, and has time has gone on. ❤
I always cry when I watch your videos. I'm so scared of losing the people I love and my family, like I lost my grandma last year, this song touched me deeply. Thank you for the feelings, your art is so good and it will stick forever 💖
My grandpa passed away a month ago and i really miss him. He had such a beautiful heart. This song made me think of him..Thank you Frank, stay safe, much love from Greece ❤
Thank you very much Mr. Watkison so poetic this song god bless you I am not very well something happen inside thanks for sharing this great song en beautiful words 🌼 🌺 👍🏾 Osyo wapili Sylvia
im from japan so forgive me my poor english! I really love listening to your songs!! I understand a little but feel the emotions!! Thank you dear man! Stay safe at times like this
Frank, I'm not sure if you'll read this but I read in an interview that you were surprised with all the positive attention you have been getting for your music, and I think that that's a beautiful look into your humility. You are a great musician and seem to be a greater man. Keep on going, we appreciate everything you do. Take care :)
This was incredibly moving. Thank you so much for sharing. It makes me think of my recent 12 year long relationship ending and my dog dying. Rough. Thank you.
My grief for the people I’ve loved that are passed is deep. Frank, with your songs and with God by my side I move forward everyday. Thank you for helping in that process. You are truly a God send. Killed in car accidents my best friend and like a second mother Jan, my nephew Robert, my best friend Kristine’s sister Kimmy and mother Lynda in separate accidents. Killed by Covid protocol in the hospital my best friend Joyce. My Father Frank by multiple myeloma, aunt and uncle by cancer. And so many more. I guess when you love hard and love many you lose hard too. God be with us all.
This is beautiful Frank. I only recently found your music but it’s very beautiful indeed. Hope you are well Frank. :) Edit: I’d like to add I really love your voice it’s just so whole and human along with the soft acoustic guitar it’s a very grounded sound. Thank you for sharing your songs ie your voice and your playing ability and your lyrics, very beautiful song about loss it was comforting.
Since you're new to Mr. Watkinson, can I make a suggestion? "I Will Follow You Into The Dark." It's a Death Cab For Cutie cover. He changes the entire feel of the song with the emotion that he puts into the cover. It's beautiful. And if you have kids that are moving out on their own, "You Won't See Me Cry." This man is brilliantly talented. Hope you enjoy his channel/catalog as much as I do. Best wishes.
This song is really beautiful. My grandpa passed away a few years ago and this song made me think of the times me and my grandpa would sing songs together. Thank you for this beautiful song, Frank. Lots of love from the Philippines!
There’s only a few songs from memory that have made me cry. This just made the list. It reminds me of a girl I knew. How I think about all the memories and how it felt to just be around her. I miss her so much. I want to go back to how things were but I know I can’t. It brings me peace knowing she’s okay. I just wish I could be there with her to see it.
Ohhh no :( so sad I just discovered you, but I wanna thank you with all my heart. Your cover of follow you into the dark touch my heart so much, it reminds me the promise I make to my husband to be together till the light goes off, thank you for bring in me the most beautiful and pure feelings. I send a big big hug, thanks for your sweet voice and soul ❤
i am finally ending my day at 8 AM, listening to this song and thinking about life. again. thank you, grandpa frank. i always feel vulnerable alone (finally) when i close the lights and door, as i listen to your songs
you have made another grown adult man cry. I am convinced the world is all evil until i hear songs like this that remind me that it is not true. You mess with my emotions the same way johnny cash does, and i so greatly appreciate that. Thank you sir.
Yesterday, your cover of Creep came across my page and our guitar playing and voice are so soothing I fell asleep listening to your original songs. Today is the second night and I am listening and clicking Like to every song you sang, while I am shelling seeds to grow in my flower garden. Just My Way of Saying Goodbye is so poignant, my eyes were moist throughout the song. But it was knowing that Buster was wagging his tail harder while he stood by your side broke the dam and made the tears fall in earnest. So precious. ❤
Didn't expect you'd have a new song when I clicked on your channel just now. Didn't expect to hear this while thinking about my papa. Did kind of think I'd have a good cry tonight. Beautiful song
Your voice absolutely touch my heart. Just listening to your original songs/covers, hugs me very warmly. I listen to you whenever I study and just want to chill, you are amazing sir Frank 💚
thank you for this beautiful song. I fall asleep at night as you songs play they calm me down enough to not be wrecked by horrible thoughts as i think of a more peaceful life. Keep on dreaming on Frank ❤
I just discovered you today. And this is the second song I listened to. But I already adore your way of musical storytelling and your calm and soothing vocals. can't wait to see what other songs you have.
This has to be my favorite song you’ve written so far. My friend had a boxer named buster, your song reminded me of a lot of childhood memories. Although this song wasn’t written about me and my friend, I will always feel it was. Thanks for making my playlists better and hope you are doing well.
this song.... oh gosh it is so good. I just have to let my girlfriend in an other district, like 200 miles, and I just didn't know how to say I love her... I will see her this weekend I guess I will let her hearing it. Thanks Frank to let me this kind of occasion ❤
I thought I forgot what it felt like to actually cry to music, so much so that when I played guitar to my fiance and they cried I didn't understand why... But this has actually brought it out to me. Thanks Frank, its been awhile since I had a good cry over some lyrics. It makes me kinda wish that someone who was close to me was still around so I can show her what I've learned on the six string, maybe see if I could make those same feelings come out before she departed.
You have an angelic but comforting voice, truly touching so many peoples hearts, including mine. Your songs are so poetic and bring so much happiness, keep going❤️
Frank thank you for sharing this. I listened to this twice as it's so sweet and sad. The lyrics are beautifully written. I imagine this song is about someone dear to you who you lost, but I am hoping it's just a song and not a true story, although I feel like came from the heart so It must be true.
Well blinking heck Frank, I'm now a blubbering wreck!😭😭 I went from watching your cover of Only 19 to this....😭 But you know, this is what some songs and their lyrics are supposed to do....tell a story, make you laugh, make you cry, make you angry!🙏👍😊 By golly Frank you really nailed it with this original of yours, just fabulous! .....I've pulled myself together now! 😢....👍😄
Oh Frank that's tough, sorry to hear that! Dogs, cats...any pet really, they become such a part of the family! Frank, I don't want to intrude on your personal life....do you have grandchildren, neices, nephews? The reason I ask is that this YT page you have created will become such a n amazing memory for them to have of you. You truley do have a gift with your music and the way you deliver your covers. You are an exceptional lyricist which is evident in your originals! Those of us who have been fortunate to find you are very lucky people.....how lovely is it to be able to put a smile on people's faces like this....people you don't even know....all through the power of music which you also love as we do! It's a good day when you've watched a couple of Frank tunes! 🙏 Cheers from a similar aged, guitar playing girl from Australia! 🙏😊💚
@@FrankWatkinson That's lovely Frank, 5 grand kids they're loads of fun, they keep us young! We have 3 grand kids.....we're very fortunate people Mr Watkinson! 😊 Buster had a short life with you...but a good life just the same! I see occasionally another 'tail wagger' with you....not like Buster I'm sure....but loved just the same.🙏😊🐕
I found your music a few days again and since have listened to many of the songs you have put on TH-cam. I absolutely love the passion you have for your music and I want to thank you for sharing your art with all of us.
I just saw one of your videos from before I had to check to see and luckily you’re still here making videos👏🏽 I just found out about you but I love you man❤️

Thank you for this, dear Sir! What a gift you've shared 🙏
Beautiful.
Absolutely phenomenal, good Sir! Applause from NYC 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌺
Me fez derramar algumas lágrimas 🖤
The subtle quiver in his voice when he says "goodbye" broke me.
I don’t know what to say anymore. This one blows me away, Frank.
You are simply a master at melody, lyrics, storytelling… you will be BELOVED for so many,many years, long after we are all dust.

Please please put these on Spotify!! These songs deserve to be well known!
It is now volume 6 .
Truth!
Probably the algo brought me her via Daniel Johnson, but I'm glad it did. The nicest old geezer, one man and his guitar on You Tube.
I may be young, But your music has something which is so true and so melancholic. It's beautiful Frank absolutely beautiful.
im from japan so forgive me my poor english!
I really love listening to your songs!! I understand a little but feel the emotions!!
Thank you dear man!
