I never forgot, I just never got my chance. I fell in love even more with this song during the 4 shows I attended at the Mirrorball tour. I remember the manchester night being front row and Sarah smiling at me during the guitar solo and I was so moved. I wished I wasn't sat beside my friend, I wished to be in love sat beside my future. Fast forward all these years on and I found what I thought was my future but, alas, "And you just walked away" ....... I'm now left broken, words left unsaid and "I cannot find the words to say i need you so bad" Many of Sarah's songs that I've known for YEARS are now becoming my musical therapist and musical hug because I feel I relate now fully. Love really does change you. "On my Island of hope" ❤
i've probably said this a million times. But, This entire album from her singing to the engineering is a masterpiece .............You just don't find this nowadays
it’s really a sad song to me even though i adore it because I had an experience where i could not tell the man how i felt … i would see him and my smile would be so wide I didn’t even know I was smiling that way until someone pointed it out
Everyone remembers that first moment when you’re captured in a semi permanent state of grinning from ear to ear. You look at each other and you *JUST KNOW* no words needed. Happens only once or twice a lifetime (and not necessarily with the person you end up with and who you’re happy with. It’s fleeting and gone but never forgotten 😢😢🎉
This is probably my favorite performance of hers ever! You can tell she means every damn word she is saying in that exact moment. I wonder who she had in mind.
Absolutely one of the most real people in the entertainment industry, having met her several times, she never treated us as anything but friends and valued fans. A true woman of class and character. And, she can really sing.
** I HAD A SMILE STRETCHED FROM EAR TO EAR ** REMINDS ME OF MY GREAT SORROW OVER THE LOSS OF MY BOYHOOD HOME AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AT THAT TIME. GOD HELP ME!!!! TO HEAL UP.
This song has been with me since 1998. The first time I fell in love. There has never been another song that describes that moment in time the way this does. Pure genius.
This album was played so heavily by myself, I was missing my best friend/soulmate, whom I was in love with, but life happened, and he had to move away. We talked all the time until one day we didn't. I found out shortly after that he was hit head-on, on the freeway, by an elderly woman who was driving the wrong direction. He died alone, within minutes, at the scene of the crash. I miss him every single day. He was my person 💔
oh man, that is pure sweetness... Sarah and Sade are some of the few women that can touch you deep down in your soul and just make you cry. almost seem like it it forbidden to hear such sirens. love it.
I first heard this song in the movie and I was totally enthralled... totally! It captured my soul like nothing I have ever heard. I find myself listening over and over and over... never tiring of it. It is so captivating. Beautiful... simply beautiful....
every morning when he leave for work, every evening as soon as he walks in the door, every night when he lays his head down to sleep - I NEVER forget - He is my everything in life.
I come on here from time to time just to play this song. I have just about every CD she's ever released but like to come here and watch her on my big computer screen. I so love this song and it was in fact the first song that I ever heard by her, the song that introduced me to Sarah McLachlan. Then I saw back in "98" she was doing something called Lilith Fair and was coming to Mansfield, Ma. in August of 1998. Wow, I get to see all the other beautiful artist at one concert and hear her sing my most favorite song in the world. As the night passed and song after song played and the concert ended, she had not sung it. Never thought this 49 year old man (in98) could cry because a song was not sung but I did. I continued to love her music and over the years and I've attended 10 of her concert to include two meet and greets, Boston & Halifax, NS. I told her how she has never sung that song at one of the concerts i saw her at. Not sure I'll ever get to see her again but I can dream that someday she'll sing this song for me.
OH, HOW HAPPY MY CHILDHOOD AND EARLY TWENTIES WERE. NOW I LOOK TO EXPERIENCING GLORY IN LIFE TO CONNECT ME WITH THOSE EXPERIENCES I HAD WHEN I WAS NOT MENTALLY ILL....SEVERELY. AND HAMMERED BY THE AUTHORITIES TO GET ME BACK INTO MY RIGHT MIND..
I forever miss the girl and the love of my life that I'll never see again. Think song is too mmuch to bear brings back so many emotions of love. I love you kate
this is the pinnacle of singing.. This song reaches straight into your soul and the 2 dislikers were propably 2 people who couldnt handle the emotion and started crying.. I cried to this song and it still touches me every time..
What's so amazing is that.....Sarah had developed such a unique songwriting signature that.....I would have not thought it possible for her to put together a touring band that coveted that unique signature enough develop into [ in my opinion ] one of the most in the pocket backing live bands in the game. Just an incredible team. And I'm sure that team vibe of musicians will continue in her circle, as long as she remains a touring artist.
This is for Karen Hays of Memphis, Tn. We met 11 years ago and this was the first song we danced to. For the next ten years we were the couple that could not be. As you look down on me from heaven I hope you have a smile on your face.
Among my top favorite live performances. The first time I heard this song was in full surround sound on the Mirrorball DVD. I was mesmerised as my eyes leaked from awe, wonder, joy and everything in-between. When it ended my thoughts were suspended and remained till I sat down, reflecting on everything that I loved.
her songs and singing send chills up and down my spine because they speak to profound and deep experiences I had especially as it relates to unfulfilled love
100 times I have watched this and 100 times I get chills. I rarely ever get star struck but Sarah gets me to the core. Beautiful song by a beautiful lady.
Perfect voice control, perfect tempo maintained. It is HARD to sing a song like this with out rushing it. This performance is great. The original album is even better. Dreamy
She was a big part of me giving birth to my son. Her Rainbow Connection version. I put the headphones on my belly. I played it when he was born. His reaction made me cry with joy. He knew Mommy!
This is my favorite Sarah song, and there are many that come second, including Angel, which she dedicated to me twice, once with each of my service dogs. I have never heard her sing this live though. It is my goal to ask her to dedicate this to me. It has so much meaning, from the first lines- I have a smile, stretched from ear to ear, to see you walking down the road- it reminds me of the time I saw her in Ohio, I was standing in line, and the last time I had seen her, I had a panic attack, and she comforted me. This time, she looked up, and the biggest smile came across her face, and she crossed the room and gave me a huge hug and a kiss. I asked her if we could try this again. I will never forget the look on her face when she saw me. And then my face passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in 2019, and I never got to say goodbye, nor do I remember the last time I told him I loved him. So I have tattooed on my forearm- I forgot to tell you I love you xoS
WOW !! That is probably the most sensual performance I've ever seen by anyone, AND someone with a great voice, too. It is rumored that the words to this were essentially to her husband, who broke up their marriage by having a fling with Sarah's sister. GREAT VOICE, and overall musically-talented, is Sarah.
thats the beauty of music: it can mean something else to everybody :) To me this is about missed chances in life to tell somebody how much u care and they part ways with u never knowing ur true feelings.
I have a smile stretched from ear to ear to see you walking down the road we meet at the lights I stare for a while the world around us disappears it's Just you and me on my island of hope a breath between us could be miles let me surround you my sea to your shore let me be the calm you seek oh and every time I'm close to you there's too much I can't say and you just walk away and I forgot to tell you I love you and the night's too long and cold here without you I grieve in my condition for I cannot find the words to say I need you so
John remember this song when you where in the hospital. And you were going through depression. And I did everything to help you get out of it. I showed you love ❤️ John. And you just want to help your self with what you wanted from me John. I truly love you John schlesky. And I know this sounds crazy but I still love you 😍
Thoughts of this movie Message in a Bottle! Start has such an incredible vocal range in every song she sings I have her collection of music and this is one of my favorite songs.
I have a smile Stretched from ear to ear To see you walking down the road We meet at the lights I stare for a while The world around us disappears It's just you and me On my island of hope Breath between us, could be miles Let me surround you My sea to your shore Let me be the calm you seek Oh but everytime I'm close to you There's too much I can't say And you just walk away And I forgot To tell you, I love you And th' night's too long And cold here, without you But I grieve in my condition For I cannot find the words to say I need you so Oh but everytime I'm close to you There's too much I can't say And you just walk away And I forgot To tell you, I love you And th' night's too long And cold here, without you I grieve in my condition For I cannot find the words to say I need you so bad I need you so bad
Love this beautiful song who's listening in 2024
For 20 years this song has just been a warm hug. Nobody sings like this
I never forgot, I just never got my chance.

Many of Sarah's songs that I've known for YEARS are now becoming my musical therapist and musical hug because I feel I relate now fully. Love really does change you. "On my Island of hope" ❤
This has to be one of the most beautiful songs sung by an angel.
i've probably said this a million times. But, This entire album from her singing to the engineering is a masterpiece .............You just don't find this nowadays
Legendary
I like your profile picture thing. That's so cool. Have a splendid evening.
Say it again
Was just thinking the same thing; I wasn’t a big fan, before that album, but I listened to every track
That’s for sure
Mirrorball one of the best masterpieces of all time in music
This was the love song that I sent to my very first boyfriend in 1998. We were so young. Tragically I lost him to heroin in 2001. I miss him always.
very sorry for your loss. I hope there has been much peace since. 🧡
One of the most amazing artists in the world--the artistry, the voice, the composition. Thanks for being born to my world, Sarah.
This song so accurately captures that forever lost moment of the declaration of love.
it’s really a sad song to me even though i adore it because I had an experience where i could not tell the man how i felt … i would see him and my smile would be so wide I didn’t even know I was smiling that way until someone pointed it out
@@sunsioux444 grace. You are great.

It's moments like these that could alter your life in so many ways.
No one can sing like her!!
i woke up today thinking of this so beautiful
If any song could melt you from the intro alone, this is it
My husband sent this very video years back while we were apart ❤ r.i.p. my love... what a beautiful memory
This is probably my favorite performance of hers ever! You can tell she means every damn word she is saying in that exact moment. I wonder who she had in mind.
Stephanie Rocafort I know! I want a story behind everyone of her songs!!
me too!
Probably her [not then, but now] former drummer/husband, Ashwin Sood.
Absolutely one of the most real people in the entertainment industry, having met her several times, she never treated us as anything but friends and valued fans. A true woman of class and character. And, she can really sing.
One of the most beautiful songs and voice ever!!
YES YOU RIGHT
Yes, one of my all time favorites. She has a lot of great songs, but this one is special.
😭
Ever ever in this life
She rocks that purple eyeshadow!

Thomas Partida totally agree. Sade! My favorite and Sarah is right there with her❤
Sade! You are so right.
Sade is in a different stratosphere, but Sarah is talented.
On my island of hope ♥️♥️♥️
I first heard this song in the movie and I was totally enthralled... totally! It captured my soul like nothing I have ever heard. I find myself listening over and over and over... never tiring of it. It is so captivating. Beautiful... simply beautiful....
Herb Houston siding
Message in a bottle, a favorite of mine.
That ❤😁
Which movie was that?
@@tommygirl6659 Message in a Bottle.
This will make you cry even if you've never been in love.
I'm not in a relationship or anything but the SHEER BEAUTY of this song is amazing😊
This, Answer, Angel..❤❤❤
This is truly the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard. Every time I hear it it’s like the first time I heard it. Makes me cry every time ❤️❤️❤️
am starting my play list for my wake, when that comes, and this is on it... so beautiful, moving.... and meaningful
Mirrorball LIVE was such an amazing album! And this song...OMG, THIS SONG!!
every morning when he leave for work, every evening as soon as he walks in the door, every night when he lays his head down to sleep - I NEVER forget - He is my everything in life.
Just came back to this video after 10 years or even more😢 and still in love with the song and still love Sarah. Great and fantastic true Artist.
If a woman wrote this about me i'd be forever deeply touched and affected by it no matter how she looked or anything else
Well said. Nice name btw
My favorite Sarah Mc track, hands down.
Me too. And that thorn song
This song did nothing for me back in the late 90s...then I fell in love.
Lord this song makes me want to fall in love every single time I hear it. Beautiful. ❤

This song, the lyrics, describes a moment in time that I can relate To. A perfect Bio of a love that was NOT EXPRESSED.
OH, HOW HAPPY MY CHILDHOOD AND EARLY TWENTIES WERE.
NOW I LOOK TO EXPERIENCING GLORY IN LIFE TO CONNECT ME WITH THOSE EXPERIENCES I HAD WHEN I WAS NOT MENTALLY ILL....SEVERELY. AND HAMMERED BY THE AUTHORITIES TO GET ME BACK INTO MY RIGHT MIND..
Timeless. Evocative. Remarkable.
We made this song our song forever. Absolutely beautiful.
One of the most beautiful songs ever
I forever miss the girl and the love of my life that I'll never see again. Think song is too mmuch to bear brings back so many emotions of love. I love you kate
So sorry ...I understand

Raylor1974 Ditto.
Maybe, just maybe, the most beautiful song I ever heard
Sarah McLachlan: what a voice, what emotion!
Thanks for singing this to me. I love u too

She’s everything. Ghost that haunts me.

she should have killed him
She should have run to me for comfort!
I love how she moves to her own music...beautiful......
Love this song ! I listen over and over again, just wonderful ❤️😢
I get lost in this song, I know exactly what she is describing, I go through it every day 😢
Very haunting
Voice of an angel. Just fantastic.
Such a beautiful song!
Can't get enough of this song ty
so magic so beautiful absolutely brilliant i love this song too much....
I have a smile
stretched from ear to ear
to see you walking down the road
we meet at the lights
I stare for a while
the world around us disappears
it's Just you and me
on my island of hope
a breath between us could be miles
let me surround you
my sea to your shore
let me be the calm you seek
oh and every time I'm close to you
there's too much I can't say
and you just walk away
and I forgot
to tell you
I love you
and the night's
too long
and cold here
without you
I grieve in my condition
for I cannot find the words to say I need you so
Play it again!!!
John remember this song when you where in the hospital. And you were going through depression. And I did everything to help you get out of it. I showed you love ❤️ John. And you just want to help your self with what you wanted from me John. I truly love you John schlesky. And I know this sounds crazy but I still love you 😍
I love this music! 🥰
Best love song, EVER!

JUST A BEAUTIFUL TUNE....💔💖💔💖💔
Eleven months ago I love this song and still nowadays 👀🎤🎧🎼♥️
I have a smile
Stretched from ear to ear
To see you walking down the road
We meet at the lights
I stare for a while
The world around us disappears
It's just you and me
On my island of hope
Breath between us, could be miles
Let me surround you
My sea to your shore
Let me be the calm you seek
Oh but everytime I'm close to you
There's too much I can't say
And you just walk away
And I forgot
To tell you, I love you
And th' night's too long
And cold here, without you
But I grieve in my condition
For I cannot find the words to say
I need you so
Oh but everytime I'm close to you
There's too much I can't say
And you just walk away
And I forgot
To tell you, I love you
And th' night's too long
And cold here, without you
I grieve in my condition
For I cannot find the words to say
I need you so bad
I need you so bad
PERFECT ... mvc
Will you sing me a lullaby. An angel voice . Couldn't be sweeter.
One of my favo song of Sarah McLachlan. I Love You!!
Programming and a rich coffee with this cute song.
I love you my beautiful wife.
Incredible voice!
Beautiful lyrics and emotional delivery by a superb singer x
Seen her in concert..she is so awesome
I jammed the entire Surfacing album in college. Rediscovered it when this song came on my Pandora playlist. I'm in love 💕
Sarah is simply amazing...
Just amazing. I would never walk away.
Drop dead amazing.
I always immediately think of Mulder and Scully when I hear “I Love You”!!!!!
Such a beautiful music to listen to.
