One night my late husband and I were listening to music. He was singing this song to me. He asked me to make sure that this was played at his funeral when he passed. Because of circumstances, I wasn't able to play it. But, I did however have "I was singing this song for you" with music notes as quotes, put on his headstone. Needless to say, this song will always hold a place in my heart, and I always have the tissues handy when I listen to it. I am blessed that I had him in my life. Rest in peace Daniel R. Majewski.

My Husband of 42 years and 9 months passed on 9/23/2021. I open his Bible today to take to my grandson . On the last page he said to play this song at his service for me. He loved me.

I am 71 now ; when I first heard L Russell I did not know the way I was going but he knew his way. Where did the time go? The world was a better place back then to me.

Went to a place in Tampa Florida called Blueberry Hill on the water for dinner. Noticed a long line to get in. My wife and I went to the front of the line and I said to the doorman, we're just here for dinner. He gave me a confusdd look and said Ok, and let us walk right in to a great booth over looking a stage. We ordered dinner and come to find out there was a concert. We had no idea... All of a sudden on Stage came out, £eon Russell & Edgar Winter!! We were stunned to say the least of their performance. And yes Leon played this song and we were 30 feet away eating dinner! Will never forget it! ❤

No auto tune. No accompaniment. No Pro Tools. A dude. A piano. Some lyrics. One voice. Goddamn when music was music. Doesn’t get much better than this folks. Raw, pure and what it’s all about.

He still doesn't get all the credit he deserves for his marvelous songwriting.

When the love of my life and I got together we chose this song as our song forever. She passed 48 years later and I still listen to today. It can still make me cry

In my heart I've sung this song for others, and in my mind I've prayed that someone might be singing it for me.

I’m 68 and still love music, old and new. I was a hippie and it’s still in my soul. I love Leon Russell and always will. I totally agree with all good comments about Mr Russell! He will forever be missed.😢❤️

My father passed away ten days ago. He instilled in me love for Leon. Love your parents and love your kids because on day it’s too late, I love you, Dad I love you Leon

Beautiful. Elton John got him in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. And bought Leon a new bus. Both so talented. Thank you. Roy in Knoxville Tennessee

80 yrs old and still love this song. Goes back a long time ago.

Leon Russell...the most underrated singer'songwriter of our time.

My best Friend Artie passed today. He turned me on to Leon and we were at Long Beach Arena the night of Leon Live. I put this song on tonight w the Sennheiser yellow headphones and lost it in tears We drifted apart but saw each occasionally I thank him for his friendship RIP ❤ Artie "AC"

I met Leon years ago as he did a Show at the Bull Shoals theater of the arts. He was a really nice guy..... I helped volunteer that night, when he showed up with his band I helped load their equipment on the stage and when the show started and in between sets I had to run down from the belcony out the front door of the theater to a side door by the stage and open and close the curtains then run back around to the front door back up to the belcony and run the stage lights for the show. I'd do it all again if I had the chance..... 😀

I'm 65 now...I listened to this song from an album with headphones on when I was in my early 20's. Loved it then, love it still! Who remembers "Tightrope?!" RIP Leon, you were awesome!

One of the most beautiful songs ever written, and Leon’s voice!

I am a trained Classical pianist. But I dreamt of taking lessons from Leon. He is a master. And a voice that rings true. I sing this to my husband, when we are alone.

Leon Russel passed away on Nov 13, 2016, leaving behind a profound impact on the world of music. He had a soulful voice and unique blend of genres. Leon's contribution to music will forever be cherished and his legacy will inspire generations to come. I miss him.

My dad loved this man. He loved music so much. He passed away 2 weeks ago. RIP Dad 😢

Probably one of the best songs ever written about love/regret/complexity of the human heart

I love you in a place where there’s no space and time....no better line, period.

I'm 67. I've been listening to this song since I was 16. Still one of my favorites 🤩🤩 Thank you Leon Russell for writing this incredibly beautiful song 😍😍❤️

I truly believe that this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Leon and his piano. What else is there to say.

180 people have no idea what good music is

Fell in love with this song when I was only 22 years old, at 69 still have to listen to it. I was lucky enough to see him in concert, could not get enough of his music. His piano playing stirs my soul. RIP

I’m gonna play this over and over until I can listen without crying. And I rarely cry, but the first two times got me. My man was the finest person I’ll ever meet

Too beautiful for words. He nailed it from start to finish. Love you Leon. ❤ rip

Oh my gosh!!! How did I not know Leon Russell wrote this tear jerker?? I always listen to Donny Hathaway. Mr. Leon, you created a MASTERPIECE. Thank you Sir, and may you RIP.

The incomparable Leon Russell gone too soon and under appreciated as an artist in this world. RIP Mr. Leon Russell

Studio musician, arranger, producer, label owner, songwriter, singer. The real deal.

I use to listen to song during my divorce, I loved him so much I hated him. Nothing ever makes sense of a mess, but this song will always remind me of the better days.

RIP Leon, you touched more souls than you can ever imagine. :(

“I loved u in a place where there’s no space or time I loved u for my life, u are a friend of mine But when my life is over I hope u will remember We were alone and I was singing this song to u•

I played this song by Leon just after he passed and I must say, I shed a few tears when he sang "and when my life is over". What a musician. Thank God, Elton saw to it to help get this man inducted into the Hall of Fame. Thank you Elton !

That last verse... "I love you in a place where there's no space or time..." That's as fine a lyric as anyone has ever written.

Music in its purest form - so glad part of my life was growing up in the 70’s - but so sad these musicians are passing now - memories will always live on !!!!!!!

RIP Leon Russell, You will be missed. One of my first concerts ..1972 ..This song means a lot to me. Feeling sad.

This song can rip my heart right out of my chest, but I gotta hear it every once in a while. I always come back to this one.

Consider yourself incredibly fortunate to have lived in the same time as Leon and all of the musical giants of our generation. I miss Leon, and love him for sharing his spirit with us. Pre-imminent musician. ✴🎹🎹🎹✴

To the memory of my beloved wife. She passed awhile ago but I am still sweet on her Thank you for posting this sweet song God Bless and may Peace and Grace be with you all

I dedicate this song to my beloved cat Mr Fuzz who died yesterday. He was truly my favorite companion in this long life we shared together. I miss you fuzzy.

It’s such a very poignant song, especially for folks that loved one another.The lyrics and the melody is simply riveting. Most folks are reduced to tears when the first chord strikes!

I'm going to his 80th birthday celebration at his former high School in Tulsa Oklahoma tomorrow. His Church Studio in Tulsa has been completely restored, and is reopening, also. Musicians he's worked with give him full credit. Total admiration for the Master of Space & Time!

"Cause my love is in there, hiding." One of the best lines EVER!!!!

He was the genuine article. There wasn't one bit of flash or bling or "celebrity", he ws simply the greatest. I'm lucky enough to have heard him all of my 62 yrs and he is sorely missed, not only by ME but by anyone who had a soul and a need for real true authentic music, God Bless, Leon.

I have listened to this song all throughout my 36 years. My Dad loved Leon…. My Mom too. She died in 2004. I always associated this song with her… and do shed a tear or more every single time I hear this. The meaning has changed through the years… Recently, when with my elderly father, he mentioned this song always reminded him of my Mom, but now it’s for me when he hears it. Life is quite the ride…. Enjoy it while you can

Sadly Leon passed away on my birthday 11-13. But this sony & his voice will forever be with me. Thank you Leon for all the beautiful memories 💕 RIP

"I love you in a place where there's no space and time"...Does it get much more profound and beautiful than that?

All my life I loved you and your music. "I love you in a place where there's no space and time, I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine". Go with God Leon. I remember.

the woman he wrote this for was very lucky to be so loved

We were blessed to see him in a small club not far from us -about twenty years ago- only about 100 folks there. I was sitting right in front of him. My wife jumped on his tour bus after - they had a nice conversation. Greatness. Memorable night.

I'm here because he's Leon Russell & I've been coming here, every now and then for 10 years

Eight and a half million views. I don't think Leon is forgotten. I love you man.

WE DROVE IN A 1966 OLDS 442 W/THE TOP DOWN IN DEAD OF WINTER FROM LONG ISLAND TO THE VILLAGE..FREEZING NITE..HEATER BLASTING..CAUGHT ONE OF THE SHOWS. DAM NEAR TOOK OFF THE FILLMORE'S ROOF. JOE COCKER, LEON, RUSSEL & RITA COOLIDGE W/ MAD DOGS & ENGLISHMEN. WHAT A LINEUP..WHAT A WILD SOUND..SO MUCH SUPER STAR TALENT. HATS OFF TO BOBBY KEYS, SAX EXTRAORDINARE.

I heard him in St Paul MN at a Santana concert. Didn’t know who he was but he blew me away. He was no ‘backup band’. He was the real thing!

One of the greatest songs ever written.

Leon was a genius people sometimes forget he was a member of the wrecking crew that played on countless hits in the 60's.

I was named after Leon Russell and im proud to tell everyone that fact, thank you Mum and Dad 💚

love the baldwin sound! Thats why I bought one, even though I can't play!!! RIP Leon.

Life is so short, make the best of it. Love more, laugh more. Praise God More, Pray More. ❤️

In the 70s anyone half paying attention never asked "Is that Leon Russell singing?" twice.

That is the most loving statement I've ever heard, "I love in a place where there's no space and time" ❣️

This beautiful man came out of the womb with long grey hair. He started playing the piano at 9 days old. He was writing songs at 1 month old. Such a brilliant man. Rest in Peace Leon Russell. 🙏 🌅 🙏

High schooler in 72 when I saw him in San Francisco, Came out of there thinking unique, talented, fun and an amazing concert. Should've heard the crowd. Wow... Still sends chills down my spine. RIP dude. You brought a lot of smiles to a lot of people.

The song is 50 years old, and holds up as well today as it did the first time I heard it at age 14. So true of my love for my soulmate. Fate brought us together.

My Daddy would make me listen to this song over and over. I hated it. He passed and now I know why he wanted me to listen to it. Such a beautiful reminder, blessing, and memory.

You were such a cool dude. You make me cry. Thank you for the music. imagine you are in, ‘The Tower of Song’ w the rest. 🫶

When rock stars had a voice that everyone knew.. in 3 notes.. lol ♡

No one milked the pain out of hearts like you did with this song. Thanks for the blues. RIP.

'I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine.' I love this song since I first heard it 50 years ago. 'There's no one more important to me.' Wish I knew that back then. But, that's the rough part of living. Thank you Leon, Mr. Russell for a beautiful song.

I really can’t get enough of this song. Leon just performs one of his best. So moving.

Leon had beautiful long piano fingers, makes me sad to know he is no longer with us in the earthly realm. RIP as your fans keep you alive by playing your songs.

I used to sing this to my baby in 1971,while rocking her to sleep... It's 2021.;it's still my favorite.

Miss you so much, Leon!!! Your music was woven into the fabric of my youth and I am forever grateful for your wonderful gifts you shared with us. Rest in eternal peace. 🙏

Beautiful man with a beautiful soul. He left an imprint on this Earth that will last forever.

When Elton John started getting famous, Leon Russell was his image of the piano player he wanted to be.

50 years still takes my breathe away -the lyrics.

I absolutely love this song ! I think of my wife whenever I listen it, because I know that I’m not an easy person to love even though we’ve been married for 23 years, this is my song for her.

These lyrics are poignant and timeless. RIH Leon. Thanks for the music.

This is one of the most beautiful and heartfelt songs ever.

Leonard left us just three days ago and now Leon leaves us . Two Lions of music and poetry. RIP Lions

And this is what music was all about ... no bullshit, no lights, auto-tune, egos... forgot how unbelievable he was.

"I love you in a place where there's no place and time" - wow

I've been so many places in my life and time I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhymes I've acted out my life in stages With ten thousand people watching But we're alone now And I'm singing this song to you I know your image of me is what I hoped to be I treated you unkindly But darling can't you see There's no one more important to me Baby can't you see through me? 'Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you You taught me precious secrets Of a true love You wanted nothing You came out in front When I was hiding But now I'm so much better And if my words don't come together Listen to the melody 'Cause my love is in there hiding I love you in a place Where there's no space or time I love you for my life You're a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone And I was singing this song to you I love you in a place Where there's no space or time I love you for my life You're a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song to you We were alone And I was singing this song to you We were alone and I was singing this song Singing this song to you

Happy Birthday to a man who said he was languishing in "a ditch by the side of the highway of life" until Elton John came along a few years ago and made an album with him. This should never have happened to one of the best musicians/songwriters/producers out there.

So many renditions of this song by so many different musicians but no one doesn’t like Leon. Love you Leon. Miss you so much. RIP, my friend.❤

How cool it would be to talk to just 1 person that was in that room!!!

Rest in Peace Leon. Have loved your music all my life.

I love his hair. Just everything about him. RIP Leon..... I miss ya!!

Everyone should know of this AMAZING artist! ONE OF THE BEST MUSICIANS OF ALL TIME!!

A whole lot of other talented folks have recorded this song. But it's Leon's song. Always has been, always will be. Nobody could ever hope to match the beauty and passion of Leon this time around.

OMG who are the 410 dum dums who don't like this song, it's one of the most beautiful love songs ever written! LEON RIP

Leon-A National Treasure. -So much Soul emanating from this Man. Leon probably played on more records in his long career that just about any one else. RIP Brother 🇺🇸

One of the prettiest songs ever written. Thank you, Mr. Russell. R.I.P.

When you've lost someone its impossible to not cry to this song 😔😔😔😔

So sad. I had a black light poster of Leon (playin bass, Concert for Bangladesh) in my room when I was a teenager- circa 1974...life is short. My parents are gone, my brother has passed and all my heroes are dying. However, his music lives on & on. Leon was a musical force on every front in the music industry.

This song still gets to me after all these years. Leon put everything into his music and that is why his music will continue to stand the test of time. Miss you Leon.

Had a chance to see this great Man . I was set to drive right up through Virginia and go right to the show. A big ass snow came thru. Whoosh! 😄Leon probably didn't make it there either. He passed not long after. I love you Dear Mr. Russell. I love you so very dearly. 🙏🌹🕊

Leon... watching this I am falling in love with you all over again. One of music's truest souls ever. He always was singing to the deepest depths of his soul. You can still feel it every time you hear one of his songs! They bring me to my knees every time. Takes me back to places that just don't exist in this society anymore. A place in time that all of us that lived in it will never forget. Rock on Leon, I'm a lifer forevermore.♥️
