I've been depressed for a long time, I seem useless and bad. This music has helped me relieve fatigue and stress. Thanks for sharing it. The person who is reading this comment , i wish you great success , health, love and happiness!

There's no stronger wind than the one that blows Down a lonesome railroad line No prettier sight than looking back On a town you left behind There is nothin' that's as real As a love that's in my mind Close your eyes I'll be here in the morning Close your eyes I'll be here for a while There's lots of things along the road I'd surely like to see I'd like to lean into the wind And tell myself I'm free But your softest whisper's louder Than the highways call to me All the mountains and the rivers And the valleys can't compare To your blue lit dancin' eyes And yellow shining hair I could never hit the open road And leave you layin' there Lay your head back easy, love Close your cryin' eyes I'll be layin' here beside you When the sun comes on the rise I'll stay as long as the cuckoo wails And the lonesome bluejay cries.

His voice just seemed to get better as he got older . What a voice.

I’m an 87 year-old woman and I started listening to Don Williams when I was 23 and I loved him and still do it

i'm an 85 year old man & i love his voice, it's just like mine. [in my dreams]

My future husband who is serving in Syria sent this to me. His name is Eric Smith and i miss him dearly.

My boyfriend lost his wife 4 years before we met. It has been a roller coaster ride with his emotions! and this song is my song to him. I know noone will ever replace her, and I'm not looking to do that... just want him in the here and now with me.

his voice was so soothing and he sang effortlessly, like he was having a gentle conversation with you personally. Love his songs and voice.

Yes the Gentle Giant himself Mr.Don Williams 🎶🎶

If you pull up a photo of his wife, Joy, I think he put her into this song. He stayed as long as he could. She outlived him a couple of years. She was soft and sweet looking, probably had blue lit dancing eyes and yellow shining hair from her photos. Close your eyes, I'll be here for awhile. He was. He may have had a diagnosis that they were both dealing with. But he was still there then. They were learning they had to let go. He didn't write the song, but it said what he needed to say at the time.

My dad was in the army with don williams & back in 2014 they had the good fortune of meeting again in deadwood,sd. A great moment . May they both RIP in heaven.

Wow, bae, his voice is so soothing relaxing, and rich. Bae, you sent his music before I love love love his songs.

My 5 and half years old daughter listened to it once and it has become her favourite song now. Don Williams has got captivating voice. ❤❤

I started listening to Don Williams in 1982, l was a young girl in my early twenties and “You’re my best friend “ and Till the rivers all run dry, and Amanda has been my all time favourite. May Don rest in peace and his memories will always linger on forever because of his songs and his wonderful voice. South London. U.K.

Apropos that the final official single that Don Williams would ever release would have "morning" in the title. Because he had the perfect morning singing voice, and several of his songs had morning themes.

What a voice,brilliant,pure brilliance,sadly missed RIP Don.

I love Don Williams. It was such a sad day when he passed. This is my very favorite Townes Van Zandt song, but only today did I learn that Don covered it!

I'm 72, in love with a wonderful man for the last time in my life. This music is a delight.

There's no stronger wind than the one that blows Down a lonesome railroad line No prettier sight than looking back On a town you left behind There is nothin' that's as real As a love that's in my mind Close your eyes I'll be here in the morning Close your eyes I'll be here for a while There's lots of things along the road I'd surely like to see I'd like to lean into the wind And tell myself I'm free But your softest whisper's louder Than the highways call to me Close your eyes I'll be here in the morning Close your eyes I'll be here for a while All the mountains and the rivers And the valleys can't compare To your blue lit dancin' eyes And yellow shining hair I could never hit the open road And leave you layin' there Close your eyes I'll be here in the morning Close your eyes I'll be here for a while Lay your head back easy, love, Close your cryin' eyes I'll be layin' here beside you When the sun comes on the rise I'll stay as long as the cuckoo wails And the lonesome bluejay cries. Close your eyes I'll be here in the morning Close your eyes I'll be here for a while [x2]

I’m dealing with separation anxieties and this song is reassuring

1 week past of 2020... You'll live forever in our hearts Gentle Giant !!!!!

I'm 48years old but this song makes me feel like I'm just 20 years old it so lovely ❤

“I like to lean into the wind and tell myself I’m free.” A very nice verse that explains reality.

My Mom's last few years with us, She bought many of Don's CDs, and just setting in Her recliner and listening for hrs, GOD I miss my Mom 🙏

Saturday 22nd August 2020 who's still listening to the quality of Don Williams 👌

The Shakers got it right when they sang " 'tis a gift to be simple, 'tis a gift to be free." Don's voice was as simple and as smooth as silk and emanated freedom and effortlessness. He was special. Though I'm thankful for the music we have from him, I wish there were more coming. RIP Gentle Giant.

Thanks for this. I never heard it before. What a Heart touching song. I could almost cry listening as I am listening to this. Just what touches me all over. Thanks again! Just so touching! 💕❤️🎵🎶❤️❤️

I am 22 and I absolutely love his singing voice and the lyrics of his songs. I am sure I speak even for other women when I say We could use more men like him.

This would make Townes proud. Gentle Giant, we miss you.

A voice recognized out off a million others....This man had a beautiful sound. He will always be remembered.

That Spanish guitar is insane ❤

How have I never heard of Don Williams? I missed his whole life😢😢😢. But will make up for it now.

Thank you for singing Townes Van Zandt's song. He died much younger than he should have. Townes was honest and whole hearted with his music. He gave it his all and he poured his heart and soul into his music.

Don captured this even better than the original. What a magician our Gentle Giant is.

I love Don Williams music, it's so refreshing. Bringing back memories of yesteryear. Thanks

One of my favorite songs! I know this is how my husband felt about me even after 58 years! ❤️

Thank you....for being here in the morning. We are alive...

a beautiful song, how could I have never heard this before.

🙏🏾The whole selection is very addictive,I am mesmerized by it all.🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️

I just don't see how anyone could click thumbs down to this. The beautiful words of Townes Van Zandt and the amazing voice of Don Williams. Truly, it don't get no better than this folks.

Don Williams doesn't so much sing a song, he just "melts" into it, and becomes the song itself. His voice is like an instrument. Awesome.

When I fell lonely and stressed i just listen to Don singing and that just calms me down and help me feel sooo much better

I have to say I am so grateful for the person who introduced me to your music. I love the tone and your words just make my life be and feel so much better. A light inside me fires up to spread it to the world. Thank you for your music

I love and miss Don so much! His music has meant so much to me since I was a kid. He truly is the greatest country singer of all time, and his music never gets old! I just don't see how anyone could click thumbs down to this. The beautiful words of Townes Van Zandt and the amazing voice of Don Williams. Truly, it don't get no better than this folks.

❤❤❤couldn't possibly love this man more. Definitely a heartfelt huge loss to the country music world.

I didn't think that don w was still alive! I love the song it made me cry and reminded me of a died soldier spirit coming to see you in!

I am 80 years old and a widow. Yes it would be nice if he Could Be Here In The Morning 🌄

Don williams is like a fine wine,he just kept getting better and better with age ,man I love this guy's voice so much.

His voice didn’t even twitch as he aged. You’d think it was recorded in the 70’s ❤❤

Don, I knew you 35 years ago when I was in Africa. Always Loved you voice . May God be with you!

His voice are so cute

I love the music in this song. Don Williams is the best! My goodness! They did this song well

Don had a voice just like Ronnie Hammond from Atlanta Rythm Section. When they sang, whatever they sang, you believed it. Thank you both for your gifts. May they both rest in piece.

Don Williams take me back to my late father, he’s is favorite musician. I’m celebrating his 28th yrs remembrance and surely all his don Williams songs will be played on that day ❤️❤️❤️

This song takes on a whole new meaning. RIP Don Williams. It was good to have you here for a while.

Please just know that my 75 year old mother and 40 year old self are humungous fans of your superb and joyful music! Sadly though, my mother is battling with breast caner at this present moment. Neither of us will ever forget what a profound impact you've had on our lives. Many blessings to you Don!

I'm a 57 year old ladybsendingbtonmy new live… he's al I ever wanted, needed and my forever ❤

Don had such a calm and relaxing voice, so nice to listen to. I'm 20 and I loooove his music!

I grew up listening to this beautiful voice and was blessed to be able to go with my mom to see him in Ashland KY a few years before he passed. He sang of a love I always dreamed of but never received. Still listening but dreaming no more. Love never came.

I.M. DON WILLIAMS, Sept. 8. 2017 he passed away in the age of 78 and from now on he's history. But his songs will live on and we all who loved him wil play them for ever. Thank you DON for being with us and give us all your jewels, to cheer us up as we feel down, to give us new energy and go on, because it's worth it to do so. Thank You Country Giant.

I can’t think of anyone else I ever loved to hear as much as him and his band. Both my Grandfather and I were fans. I learned to play his songs. I will listen to them again tomorrow and for the rest of my life.

And I won't forget about the other beautiful music you sent me, I just can't wait till you get back home to me baby❤❤❤❤❤

He's greatest continue to play his music as much possible. Thank you

This is one of the best covers ever. And it comes from one of the most definitive acts of any genre.

Such an incredible voice. Stops me in my tracks every time I first hear it. Then I smile and realize I am in the company of a friend.

You knew I'd love this. Don is not capable of singing anything that's not just heart grabbing beautiful. Thank you.

This song was written and performed by Townes Zandt. Both versions are absolutely beautiful.

"I'll be here for awhile" Should be on Don's headstone... He'll be with us in his music for "awhile".

I love don Williams he sings the truth in his songs

I love this song. The lyrics speak to my soul.

*The Best Country Music Singer Ever*❤

2020 June who's listening to this Legend

ich mag einfach die Stimme, den Vortrag; Don Williams, what else

Listening here from Brazil (Rio de Janeiro) on June 19, 2021.

Unmistakable voice . Reminiscing those days

From Tanzania 🇹🇿. This folk is adorable. asante sana

What a voice!!! Don Williams must have been around 75 when this video was filmed. That he sounds so good at that age is pretty incredible.

I love to hear Don Williams sing,

His songs are not only for old and dignified. I'm 20s and single and I like his songs

Sure miss The Gentle Giant. The band behind Don is spot on with how they play. Oh to sing with a band like this just once before my time is up. RIP DON 💗🙏🏻🎸🎼🎶.

There's No stronger wind than the one that blows Down a lonesome Railroad line. No prettier sight than the looking back, on a Town you've left behind. There's nothing that's as real, as a Love that's in my mind. Close your eyes I'll be here in the Mornin', Close your eyes I'll be here for awhile. There's a lots of things along a road I'd surely like to see, I'd like to lean into the wind to tell myself I'm free. But your softness whispers louder, than the highways calling me. Close your eyes I'll be here in the Mornin', Close your eyes I'll be here for awhile. All the mountains and the rivers and the Valleys can't compare To your Blue lit dancin' eyes, Yellow shinnin' hands I could never hit the open road and leave you lyin' there Close your eyes I'll be here in the Mornin', Close your eyes I'll be here for awhile. Lay your head back easy Love, Close your cryin' eyes. I'll be layin' here beside you, When the sun comes on the rise. I'll stay as long as a coo-coo wails, as a lonesome Bluetick cries. Close your eyes I'll be here in the Mornin', Close your eyes I'll be here for awhile. Close your eyes I'll be here in the Mornin', Close your eyes I'll be here for awhile.

I remember how I used to dedicate Williams songs to my love and it worked magic the small heat of love turned into flame and now the fire of love has never gown down

What a blessed man ❤️ Truly a Man Of God. I see a lot of love and gentleness in his voice. Rest in Peace dearest Don. We will forever miss you ❤️

Bless you Robert ,may your prayers be heard... Young man . Still got little mate... Love juls

He always put feelings and love into his music. You will be sadly missed. Rest in peace
