Found out my dad sung this to me in the womb. I'm pregnant with a girl so he asked if I've been singing to her and he sung this song to me. My mom always wanted a daughter and knew her name would be Elizabeth.

The addition of Jimmy Fortune was one of the few times that a group could change vocals and still nail it. The Statler Brothers had consistently fine harmonizing.

I love this song. It reminds me of my beautiful sister Elizabeth who died so very young.

In 1980 I left my sweet childhood friend behind in Devine, TX. When this song was released it reminded me of my dear friend, Amy Elizabeth. I still think of her today.

For me, the Statler Brothers didn't become THE Statler Brothers until Jimmy Fortune joined them. His voice just fit the rest of the guys like a glove. Love this song.

Statler Brothers were the finest example of what a male 4 part harmony can sound like where you truely have all 4 parts on an equal footing of importance!! In most 4 part harmonies, you have a truely gifted lead singer or maybe two greats with a decent bass singer, but these four men were all at the top of their game in their respective portions of the harmony and the result is musical magic!! Thank God for the Statler Brothers!! I have always loved their music, but it wasn't until recently that I realized the genius of these 4 voices!! In Heaven they are serving up another Statler Brothers hit in-between their excellent Gospel music songs!!

Country music is never going to the same this was the best group of men they made country music big time

Stunning. Absolutely beautiful. I grew up listening to these guys and to this day this song brings a tear to my eye. Love it.

The porch swing scene was filmed on my family's front porch. It's nice to finally see this video all together.

Losing Lew to illness when they were on top of country music was a huge blow..however they found the best addition they could have ever hoped for in jimmy..good things happen to good people..what an incredible success story and legends they were..are..and always will be..

The Statler Brothers and the Oak Ridge Boys ....the two best country groups ever🎵🎸🎵🎸👍👍

Back when music was actually worth listening to

This is truly and by far one of the most beautiful songs by The Statler Brothers I've ever heard, I listen to it everyday.

My mom's favorite music! And I have a daughter named Elizabeth. I hope some day to dance with her at her wedding to that song. May Harold rest in peace and be forever in Glory.

Maybe the most beautiful song that the Statler Brothers (with Jimmy Fortune) ever did.

I thought this was the most beautiful country song ever ! I was a young child and I remember this song one of the best Love songs ever!

We need more of this style of country music 😇

Jimmy Fortune is now on the Gaither Gospel Show. and still singing. I keep missing it, its usually on a Friday night. He is a great sing. And l love listening to him.

Rip Harold...thanks for the 🎶

All their song s were great. I think they outdid themselves with this song. Everything about it; the harmony and the video were TOO GOOD!

I named my daughter after this song ♥️♥️♥️

One of my all time favorites of all the songs in the Universe.

This was one of my late fathers all time favorite songs of the Statler Brothers. 👊🇺🇸😉💪✅✅✅✅

My favorite Statler song.

RIP Harold Reid

Rest in peace and thank you for making your part of The Statler Brothers everything it is and was

My mother loved there songs .great band.i like them as well.

It is difficult to believe that this was the very first song Jimmy ever wrote! Yes that is true. Superb song and harmonising.

I was very lucky to see them at the Holiday Star Theater in Merriville,Indiana just when this song just hit the charts. Always will love this song has so many special memories.

A great song from the greatest quartet ever!

Stunningly beautiful ballad One of my favorite songs!

Jimmy fortune greatest tenor lead voice I haver heard.

Godspeed to you Harold Reid. Thank you for giving my bestest friend a kiss. You made her day. Heck you made her life! 🙏💕🙏

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is my favorite song by the Statler Brothers and favorite video and I was looking all over for it and I am glad some finally posted it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I COULD KISS YOUR FOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Listening to this on March 17, 2024 for its Irish sound ... before today, I had no idea this song had a video. Love the "timeless" theme ... thanks for sharing!

Beautiful song. Great harmony. Thank you for posting it.

I work at night and sleep during the daytime and I woke up one evening with this extraordinarily beautiful and somewhat haunting song running through my mind, I didn't know the name of the song, really all I remembered was the melody and the basic but complex chord structure. I searched for days until I found it. I am a classically trained pianist and musician, and I couldn't tell you the last time I heard this, all I can figure is that I heard it while riding in the car with my dad while he and my mom were going through a divorce, and even though I was just a child this song somehow was deeply imbedded into my subconscious and somehow came back to the surface of my mind as I slept that day. Pretty interesting 🤔

Love your music and always will.

A #1 hit for The Statler Brothers on the Country & Western charts. It was the 695th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era.

Jimmy Fortune brought this song to the group. What a sound, so good on many levels. Outstanding.!

Oh Elizabeth I long to see your pretty face I long to touch your lips, I long to feel your warm embrace Don't know if I could ever live my life without you Oh Elizabeth I'm sure missing you I remember when we shared a life together You gave me strength and love, and life that felt brand new You so far away I have to say I'm feeling blue Oh Elizabeth I'm sure missing you Oh Elizabeth I long to see your pretty face I long to touch your lips, I long to feel your warm embrace Don't know if I could ever live my life without you Oh Elizabeth I'm sure missing you Well it's been said before that I've caused many heartaches And I wonder if that parts really true Be it right or wrong it feels my heart will surely break Oh Elizabeth I hope you understand Oh Elizabeth I long to see your pretty face I long to touch your lips, I long to feel your warm embrace Don't know if I could ever live my life without you Oh Elizabeth I'm sure missing you Don't know if I could ever live my life without you Oh Elizabeth I'm sure missing you Oh Elizabeth • • • • • My current girlfriend is named Elizabeth. She doesn't live far, but it's difficult to see each other which practically makes our relationship long-distance. I've been really missing her recently and this song truly captures my feelings for her. If you're reading this, my Elizabeth, I love you more than you can imagine.

Beautiful harmony. 5/2020

I love this song. I wish this video would be restored

Thank you for this song it is how I really full about my nana Elizabeth whit she passed away and this song was wrote for her thank you

COUNTRY MUSIC AND NASHVILLE HAS SOLD OUT TO LESS TALENT AND CREATIVITY . ALL IN THE GREED OF MONEY....... WE NEED REAL COUNTRY LIKE THIS AGAIN....

RIP Harold!!

One of the best🍁✌🍂

I love this song my boyfriend at the time loved old time country music and loved to sing and this is one of the songs that he sang to me

What a great song. BTW, rest in peace, Harold! It's sad how these guys can have a 25 year string of hits, and only hit number one four times.

Love this video! Little fuzzy but the sound quality is excellent. RIP Harold. One of my favorite songs of theirs in the Jimmy era.

Great song

My Grandpas Favorite song

I wasn't aware this video existed! It's an outstanding use of time depictions and costuming!

Such a pretty song

I can't hear this song without thinking Fred Sanford.

Luv this song--

Finally after many years, I’ve found the video for this song!

God rest your spirit Queen Elisabeth II.

I like when Jimmy sings this with Dailey and Vincent

I've seen these men in.many costumes but this video is how I'll always picture Phil in my mind!

I love you har old

This was the first album (cassette ). I ever bought. Think I was like 13 years old.

I think this song means . I think they we're all in love with her , but she only married the one she loved . When she passed away , it broke his heart , he talks all the time . He don't know how he's gonna live without her . Elizabeth

Never thought I'd see the day where Don would have a girl that got away.

R.i.p. Harold Reid and original member Lew Dewitt.
