I'm 53 yrs old and I have Parkienson Disease Throat Cancer and Lung Cancer and medical problems to many things, I was raised in a Church and I drifted away from it, but a few months ago I gave my heart and life back to the Good Lord and now I feel a sense of peace that I haven't had a really long time, and now I often think about my Mom fixn gravy n biscuits before Church on Sunday morning, so now that my life is coming to the end, I can close my eyes and humbley Thank Jesus for this amazing life and I know in my heart that I soon will be there, with Jesus and Momma, and for me if that what's in Heaven, well I'm not afraid to die, so I hope and pray if anyone out here needs to talk, just hit your knees close your eyes and humbley ask Jesus for a hand and I promise you he'll pick you up and walk with you, and you be afraid anymore!

I'm a big, tough guy. I've been in combat, I've been a bouncer and a bodyguard. I've been in situations that should've broken me. This songs breaks me every time I hear it.

The night Gma passed--we had three cars leaving the hospital. No one knew what radio station the other had on. That's the first time we all heard this song--we got home and all had the same experience. That's God!

December 31, 2004, my son, Brayden, passed away, he was 8 yrs old. He is an Angel! He had Down Syndrome and taught me and my family what it is to LOVE... We put this song in his memorial service and it was extremely moving. There was a pic of him and his Grandpa with a cherry pie with this song. It made everyone tear up. I thank Andy Griggs for this song and the Lord for giving Brayden to us regardless of his disabilities or medical issues. Down's babies are the MOST loving babies...

💗"On a summer day in 1985...And, everything I wanted was out there waitin' & everyone I loved would still be alive." 💗

I love this. I lost my husband May 26,2021 After 42 years of marriage 💑 I feel lost. I miss him so much, I'm ready to go be with him.

I was recently diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic and liver cancer. This is one of the songs added to my Celebration of Life song list. God Bless.

“....and everyone I loved was still alive.” Gets me every single time.

One of the greatest songs ever written. Never listen to it without crying.

My husband went to be with the Lord 6/18/2020, he got his cure from cancer. I look forward to our next dance in heaven!

I lost my mother to cancer 7 years ago today. She listened to this song everyday as me and my two sisters sat by her bed just waiting. She was 34. This is the first time Ive listened to the whole song since her passing. Needless to say, I kinda lost it. I know she is in a better place but I wish for one more day I could be with her.

My wife went home to be with the Lord yesterday morning! She finally got her cure for cancer! I love you and miss you baby!

This song helps you be at peace with all of your loved ones that are gone. It gives you some help to know that they are ok and at peace and not in pain anymore.

My precious little momma passed april 11th this year at 69 yrs old and had been diagnosed for 3 wks before she passed of acute myeloid leukemia, she got her cure and she is with my daddy and my older sister and her 2 grand baby girls! I love you mom and I miss you so much. Rest in peace precious momma. Your baby loves you so much.

My son's death date is 11.11 I miss him like an angel misses their wings. Something has been taken from me that I will never b able to replace. I never knew this kind of pain and emptiness existed . I played this at his funeral and appreciate Mr Griggs finding these words that I never could.

Whoever dislikes this song sure doesnt know what a damn good fucking song sounds like

This is absolutely the MOST underrated country song......probably one of the greatest ever written......besides The Dance.....oh well maybe more people will discover it!

This song reminds me of my brother who passed away in a car accident 7 years ago. However, I have lost my mother, father, grandpa's and my uncle also. It makes me want to pack up and go with them to heaven. The details in the song make heaven so tangible. One day we will all meet again. I love you guys!

Thank you, Andy, Job Well Done, Sir ♡ John 3 :16...Everlasting life in heaven.

The first time I heard this song, I was pulling out of the cemertary from visiting my girlfriend who passed in a car accident. It sent chills up my spine. The whole "dont cry a tear for me" part I can totally picture her saying that. She was amazing and so bright. I miss you so much

I'm going to go through a very difficult time and if I don't make it please remember this song in honor of all who have gone home !

I love this song. I have heard this one played at several funerals. I lost my wife a month ago and miss her more than I can say. Somehow this song actually brings a small degree of comfort to me. I think Andy Griggs has an awesome voice and I can't understand why he never became a country superstar.

What a classic...I absolutely love this song..Andy Griggs is the man!!!

This song is simply amazing! One of the most underrated ever! "If Heaven was a train, it sure would be a fast one, that could take this weary traveler round the bend. If Heaven was a tear, it'd be my last one. And you'd be in my arms again." I lost my dad nearly 9 years ago and I've never been the same since. I celebrate it and want it played at my funeral.

Play this song when im missin the ones ive lost. Love them while youve got em.

I had lost my grandmother while I was out of town on a business trip..trying to get home in a timely fashion was a challenge and everything started to go wrong.. when I finally was able to get on a plane I was very distraught and pretty much an emotional mess.. this song came on while I was listening to headphones on the plane.. I was alone and this song was very comforting for me.. sad and made me cry but yet provided some comfort on that journey home.. especially when I heard "Don't cry a tear for me now baby.."

Man I've always loved this guy ❤️ amazing voice

Eleven years ago today, I buried my beloved wife. She was sweet like cherry pie, when she was still alive...

My son just passed away the pain and emptiness is something I can't describe. We played this at his funeral. My son was an addict and he od at our home in the floor with blood coming from his nose. I tried so very hard to pull him out of his addiction and I didn't. I miss my son so much and wish I could hug him one last time and tell him how much I love him

I lost one of my family friends a few weeks ago and my dad played this song and I thought of him and it made me cry and today I’m going to go to his celebration of life

My grandfather always said he wasn’t afraid to die and when we had his service they played this song and describes him so much!!!!!

I teared up when this song came out, it's 2020. My Mom, Dad, Grandparent's and now my Uncle are gone. Now I flat out cry 😢

My heart is with this beautiful song 🎵 THANK YOU SO Beautiful 😍

How could anybody thumb down this song... brings tears 2my eyes every time .

Mason would be so proud of you, Andy. I only knew him for a short time in the late 80s and early 90s- not long before he passed, actually - but he was an amazing guy. I saw a note on facebook that you sang this at Glen Goudeau's funeral, so I watched the video. It was such a shock to see the video of you and Mason at the end of the video. Seeing his face brought back memories. May the Father continually bless and keep your family. Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us.

Beautiful, just beautiful, I love his voice!

Andy this song is such a beautiful song brought a tear 😢to my eyes to all the people in my life thats passed away this song is for you

My youngest son was stillborn April 11th of this year.. my partner just sent me this song and it's absolutely broken me 😭💔 it's so beautiful. ❣️

I want this sung at my funeral.

MY TIME HERE IS SHORT,BUT THIS SONG GIVES ME THE COURAGE I'LL NEED TO SAY GOODBYE TO ALL I'VE LOVED,EVEN THOSE WHO COULDN'T LOVE ME.AND THE STRENGTH TO BELIEVE I'LL SEE YOU ALL AGAIN ONE DAY.JUST KNOW THAT I'LL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU IN SPIRIT-AND WATCHING OVER YOU..-AND TO MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE CRYSTAL; YOU WERE THE ONLY BRIGHT SPOT IN A LONELY LOVELESS LIFE. THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME !

Never get tired of this song & video! Years ago when my young daughter bought the CD for my b.day ..I listened & cried thinking about my cousins , my mom & my favorite dog passing away....tonight I thought about it as I was feeling sad missing my grandbaby who spent the week end with us -in hopes his mommy could break him from nursing..well she caved and couldn't do it because he cried too much..these things are hard -OH but the beautiful dance we have that goes with it makes it so worth It!

One great song love it

One of Andy’s best songs for sure.

Keep your music coming I lost my baby girl the day before Mother's day my momma died March 29 the day before she turned 87 years old . I love your music please keep your music coming I love your music.

Andy Griggs was always, and still continues to be a VERY underrated artist. I have no idea why he didn't have more commercial success. Either way, he has give us some great songs.

Such a soul stirring song , Makes me see all the important things I thought were important turns out not so much and time ran by me so fast but if heaven was a beautiful morning it'd be eternal!!

From time to time, when grief comes to me in heavy waves, then I listen to this song. It makes me cry but also gives so much comfort. Grief is like a long and broken road you have to walk almost alone.

This song makes me tear up every time I hear it.. so true and such a beautiful story of life that we all seem to take for granted .. takes me back to my youth and all the special people that have passed ..wonderful memories I will always cherish !

Love the music ❤️🧡💛💚💙

OMG 11 years later and i've just heard this for the first time? How is that i wonder.. I used to listen to your music long long ago. This song just bust me up in tears... It may not have meant as much 11 years ago as it does today. I've lost so many loved ones and the one who is still alive (my momma) i can't see as she lives in England and i'm in Oregon. Shes 73 and i'm 53. I pray i can see her again.. Great song.

I miss my grandparents and daddy so very much.. Until I see you again in heaven....💜💜💜💜.. so much of my family is there..

Thank you Andy for this beautiful and very precious song to hold in one’s heart ♥️ ❤🙏

If Heaven was a pie it would be cherry 🍒! Now, that is overwhelmingly beautiful and makes the perspective on life a little more sweeter. This is an exceptionally pretty song. Two thumbs up from Kingsport, Tennessee!

What a great song. I can't believe I don't hear more of this on the radio..

This songs breaks my💔every time I hear it because i can relate for sure, im so in love with this song ive listen to it over and over so conforting know i will get to be with all my loved ones who's gone home to be with the Lord some day. So touching call me selfish but as this song says i wished every one i love was still alive and here with me. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written i think.Andy Griggs you are such wonderful and talanted singer and your video is beautiful as well. God bless you always.

I'am not afraid to die! Heaven would be my Hometown! If Heaven was a pie it would be Apple! God bless you Mr. Andy Griggs

Andy’s voice is truly a gift from god

One of the most amazing and beautiful songs ever!

After 20 years of waiting I finally got to see Andy in concert in Oakland, Nebraska. Awesome show got to meet Andy after the show and got a photo with him. Bucket list is now complete

For those of us who have truly loved and lost, this is the song for you

Heard for the first time.. love it . Lost my dad 9 years ago ❤️

"....and everyone I loved was still alive." That line brings me to tears every single time!

one of the best songs of all time hands down

My mom passed away on February 25th, 2014 from colon cancer that spread to her liver, lungs and stomach. If heaven is all of these things that Andy described then I know that your are enjoying yourself, I sure do miss you SO MUCH!!!! You were there for me when I needed to be corrected, you were there for me when my relationships broke up and you were there for me to give me advice on life and how to stand on my own two feet and be the man you raised me to be. You have been the one constant thing that loved me unconditionally with no strings attached and let me make mistakes so that those same mistakes would make me stronger and wiser. Thank you for raising me to be the man I am today. Mama, we didn't have much money or material things but we sure had a lot of love to go around. I promise I will see you again one day, until then enjoy the splendors of heaven and say hello to Uncle Lee for me and the rest of the family that is there with you in heaven. Love you mama, Bye Bye for now.

It's been 7 years since My sister Nancy passed away from cancer. I miss her very much.

"Suppers on the table and Momma's laughing" I'm so blessed to still have my Momma and Nanny! But this part really gets me in the feels! RIP to those that have gone before us! Soon we'll all be going home. WWG1WGA

I lost my uncle last spring break. i got a call from my parents saying he had passed in his sleep from heart failure. he was only 47. They played this at his funeral and it made me cry so much. I miss you everyday uncle Gene. your in a better place now, I love you and wish we would have gotten closer. I listen tot his song almost every day. well, i try to at least. ill try to make you proud uncle Gene, every day.

I lost my husband last year I miss him every single day. This song means so much to me. I know I will see him again in heaven.

Gloria June Bowers you're the most beautiful woman God ever made in this world BBG ❤️

This was my Pepaws absolute favorite song. I remember it coming out and not long after we had to play it at his funeral. It majorly sucked. I was 8 yrs old. This song and "Help Pour Out The Rain" by Buddy Jewel remind me so much of him and his life. He died doing what every country man liked doing, hunting. God took him in November of 2004 during deer season. When they found him, he had a smile on his face and his rifle and deer next to him with mine and my grandmothers picture in his hand. He is the greatest man to ever live and I miss him more n more every year. And I wish he was around to know his first great grandbaby who is born to his first granddaughter. Miss you Pepaw. And yes I know, the pumpkin wagon is coming for me.

Man, I LOVE THIS GUY. This song is so great, I play this on the juke box when I'm out. Folks go like "WHO'S THIS?" Andy Griggs !

This song takes me down memory lane! I love it!! I think of all of my family and friends that have gone ahead of me.

I love this video and this song it gets me every time and I cry when I here this song I miss my dad and my sister

I listen to this song every single day!!! When my dad passed away my mom told me this was one of his best songs and ever since she told me that this is the only song I listen too 😭😭🥺🥺

If you are saved you'll go to heaven

some of the most powerful lyrics i've ever heard. if everybody i loved was still alive

This song makes me think of my pawpaw that passed away last year of brain cancer. Love you pawpaw. Can't wait to see you again!

only weeks before my 21st birthday my dad was diagnosed with colon and liver cancer. both at very bad condition. a week later he had surgery on his colon and had it removed. in 21 years I nvr seen my dad cry. let me tell u something that hit me very hard and made me realize life and how special it is. 10-12-15 he is at home and is waiting. love u paps

This song was realesed the year my grandmother passed away. It helped me get through that year and the years since...Thank you, Andy and the writers of this song.

I love this song. When I die, I want this played at my funeral. It may be way out dated by then, but it's a great song.

We just lost my Granny at 96 years old She had a long beautiful life but it dont make it hurt any less 💔 This song is exactly what she would say to us.... it is beautiful

I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL BACK IN 2005, & WE THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE, I WAS IN ICU....& J JUST REMEMBER SAYIN TO MYSELF, PLEASE, PLEASE GOD, JUST TAKE ME NOW!!!!! WHEN I FINALLY CAME OUT OF ICU.....I FELT A HAND ON MY HAND.....& WHEN I WOKE UP NO ONE WAS IN THE ROOM, & I STILL FELT THE HAND ON MINE. THEN, THEY HAD THE RADIO ON THAT WAS IN THE SIDE OF THE BED BY MY HEAD, & THIS IS THE SONG THAT CAME ON. AND WHEN IT CAME ON....THE FEELING OF SOMEONE TOUCHIN MY HAND WENT AWAY!!!! IT WAS AN AMAZING FEELING!!!!

This song brings tears to my eyes...remembering my Mom and Daddy; my big sister too. The vocals are so smooth and strong. I could listen all day long.

If Heaven was a town, it would be my town.,oh on a summers day in 1975, when everyone I loved was still alive. I miss you Daddy 💔

I just happened across this song,let me say i dont think i have heard a greater song.When my time comes to a end i want this song played!!!

Andy you have a great voice I enjoy your music keep your music coming . This song you sang about Heaven I lost my mother in March of this year. And six weeks later my baby girl died May 7th of this year it has been very difficult for me I found her in the bed dead.

Great song! I cry every time I hear this. Remembering things that have happened to get us to this point in life. I love you all. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This song is so great. I lost an entire generation. 8 people in 4 months. My grandpa and I werent very close but we were close enough that it affected me so much, My Great Aunt helped raise me, She ment the world to me. I hate having to say goodbye to all of these great people. But someday, I will see them again.

I am truly sorry for your loss of your loving wife. I understand your pain. Prayers 🙏 Healing Light...

My son was maybe 1 or younger I couldn't get him to stop fussing in 2007. No matter what I tried nothing worked this song came on the radio and I sang to him and just held him and rocked him. He finally started calming down. I still till this day tell him this was the first song I ever sang to him and the only thing that would calm him down. He is now 17 and 6'5

I love this song,beautiful song.

Brother you have a lovely voice❤🙏🎂

Memories flood me when i hear this, great memories

I would love to go back to 1985 for one more look around. Sure do miss all my loved ones who are now gone. I know I will see them again though when my time comes. ✝️

I miss my brother.Love this song 😍

My second son just died, Cameron Scott Grush, one year and one week after my first born son, Ronald Lee Grush. The pain is indescribable.. immeasurable!! I feel lost.

Absolutely love it! I am not afraid to die coz I know we meet up with those that have gone before us!

I lost a best friend when I was 5 or 6 (first grade). He had the same disability I do. & 14 years later (I'm 20) I still think of him everyday. My heart still aches for my best friend but I know he's no longer in pain. The braces & wheelchair are gone & I know one day I'll see him again & even if I'm old & gray he'll know it's me & we'll spend hours just running through the fields together like we always wished we could. R.I.P. Anthony Hoffman. I live everyday to the fullest for you my friend!
