We played this song at my dads gravesite service, he and my mom were married just 3 days short of 50 years when he passed. I remember them dancing in the living room so many times and him singing it to her. At the funeral mom just kept asking if they would play it again. so we did, we played it again, and again, as many times as she wanted. Will never forget their deep love, and how this song expressed it so well. I Love you daddy - But you went away, and I miss you. I will never get over you.

My dear sweet husband passed away last month and this was our favorite song. He was my soul mate for 33 years, my rock and my once in a lifetime love. He was one of the kindest, generous and loving people anyone could ever meet. He passed away suddenly and unexpectedly and my heart feels so empty without him. Love you always and forever my darling Herb.

I sang and played this on my guitar to my wife many times. We were married a month short of 59 years. I miss her so much since she passed 13 years ago. She was so much like the words to this song.

This was played at my grandfather’s funeral yesterday and I fought with all my strength to fight the tears God Rest His Soul…

To whoever comes across these words, my heartfelt wish is that whatever troubles you, whatever burdens your heart, may soon find solace. May clarity wash away the fog of uncertainty, and may serenity reign in your life.

My (75 yr old) dad had a massive stroke and my mom cared for him 8 years ! My siblings took my parents to Don Williams concert and when Don started to sing this song, my dad, paralyzed on one side and couldn't talk, grabbed my mom's knee and gave her a BIG smile. He loved her and loved this song- what a tear jerk memory-miss him so much!

Love his deep voice, very soothing. His song brings back memories ❤️💞❤️

Beautiful. My mom's favorite singer. I played this song for her in heaven. Thank you Don for your music thru the years.

My dad played this at my mom's funeral. Still makes me cry.

I had this played at my husband funeral service. It was our favourite song. It's been almost sixteen months since he passed and I can't listen to this song without crying.

My grandma just passed, we were extremely close. When she was in hospice, my uncle put this album on. I fell so in love with this song and the lyrics spoke to how I feel about her. My uncle made the beautiful observation that the lyrics to this song could be interpreted in several ways; romantic love, love for Jesus, and love for family/friends ❤ this is now one of my favorite songs of all time.

Don Williams, absolutely the most underrated country singer! Love his music! ♡

I just love Don Williams...I remember seeing him in concert. No over produced show..just him on a bar stool and he was completely captivating!!

This is for my darling wife of 56years who's just passed ❤

This gentle giant, had a voice as smooth as Silk. Thank you for sharing it with us. Rest in Peace.

What a wonderful down to earth singer!! R.I.P Don

His music can calm the most angry moments in my life. thank you Mr. Don your music has never lost it's true meaning.

My Dad played this song as a surprise to my Mum for her birthday last July 12, what a beautiful song and what beautiful people that share it xoxoxo

This was played at my grandpa's funeral and this song is now my favorite song of all time

my Grandad chose this song for my Nanas funeral. together from 18 till she passed at 61. Such a loving song. ♡

I heard this live by Don Williams in London in 1978. There has never been a performer who had such a huge audience in the palm of his hand. Don Williams is, without a doubt, the most humble artist I have ever seen onstage. Thanks for posting this.

My family used to play music on the front porch on the weekends and mom and dad worked this song into a beautiful duet. I can still hear them singing together when I close my eyes. Mama and Daddy, rest in peace!

I could listen to this deep smooth voice all day.... Love his music...

Only one word describes this great and brilliant singer and that is. GENIOUS. R.I.P. Don Williams. Your music will live 4ever. God Bless.

I've been looking for this song for years! It was played at my grandpa's funeral. He was such a dear man.

I looked this song up by Don Williams because my brother Tom always sang this when we all would get together and jam... He even sounded like Don.. Today at 10:00 am he went to meet the Lord and I knew I would never hear him sing again,, I needed to hear this and I thank whoever posted this song, It has given me a measure of comfort.. Rest In Peace Tom And also Don Williams who passed on a year ago Sep 8, 2017 ,,, may he R.I.P...

I sang "You're My Best Friend" to her about a decade ago when we were young (still young though, lol) and just good friends. Today, I am playing this song while working from home, and she is lying in bed next to me. She is not just still my best friend; she's now the mother of our six-year-old daughter and is carrying our soon-to-arrive son. She is the woman of my life. I look forward to playing this song to her many more times in the years to come, and even as often as this post gets liked. 💕💕

Don oh Don, your voice and songs gave me such hope as I lay on that hospital bed and radiation wrecked havoc on my body. You voice calmed my soul.❤❤🙏🙏

Surprised by the number of black and/or young fans Don has...the power of his music transcends race and time!

This is my grandad's favourite song and was used at his funeral today. R.I.P grandad forever in my heart and memory forever xxxx

but most of all you are my best friend!! 😍 By far the most wonderful words you can say to your wife!! So wonderful!!!!!!

This song was played at my dads funeral, my dad loved my mum so very much, the words of this song fit how he felt about her so well. I miss him, oh how I miss him, we all do. Thanks Don, for making me cry again.

This song was played at my grandfathers funeral. Its now one of my favourite songs, ever. So moving, especially when there are personal ties.

great Song , is good to have a best friend, but they are hard to find, especially when you have Cancer. You are suddenly alone. but that song is keeping me going thanks Don

I was a Cray fisherman in Tasmania when this album was released ,it was on a tape and we played it every day while we worked ,for almost two years until it wore out ,luckily I was able to obtain it on CD which I still have to enjoy in my retirement ,along with at least 15 other albums ,what a great performer

Mum and dad played this. 50 yrs later still lovely to listen to.

Oh God let people like Don William live forever. I just can't get enough of your beautiful talent you gave them. So so perfect

RIP Don. One of the great voices in music. Passed away today, 9/8/17

Makes me think of my late parents - they loved Don Williams and brings back happy memories.. now I'm 50 I get it mum & dad

Thanks Don for your music years. Your music taught me to appreciate life and to live humbly. May You Retire easy

I just couldn't fell contented till I hear this soothing voice🖤

This song helps me through the death of my best friend. We were married 55 years and I feel like Ron is singing this to me. Thank You Don Williams for "Our Song."

Love his voice. So simple, so basic but yet so brilliant

We enjoy Don's style of singing most of all, indeed!

20 years since my first wife passed. I still think of her every time I play this song. THANKS Don!! You're special!

Reminds me of my Mum Yvonne Williamson passed last year. Miss her so very much she loved Don Williams...and Mum was my best friend x

I thought of this song when I heard of Don Williams passing. This has been my favorite song that he brought to the world. Hard to believe it came out in 1975. It has truly passed the test of time.

Wonderful as ever. Thank you Don.

Simply a most amazing voice, which still holds up. Just great!

My wife and I danced to this song at our wedding. I told her to plan everything the way she wanted and I would take care of our 1st dance song. I chose this song because it paints the perfect picture of what marriage truly is and I'm a big fan of the gentle giant. I Love You Meredith 12/05/2020

I love Don William, You may think or say this is not gospel music but I tell you it's prue love music. (God is Love.) its very inspirational music, I not get tried listening to this music over and over again.

This song, along with Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffet, got me through some seriously dark times in my life. The anxiety and pressures I was going through and just listening to them songs dragged me by the scruff of my neck through it all - they just helped keep me reminding that the end of the day was always in sight and I will make it through the next one. To Anyone else struggling with the stresses of the world, tomorrow is untouched - who knows what wonders it'll bring, keep fighting the good fight.

This song means so much to me. Reminds me of my daddy. He used to sing this to get me and my sister to sleep. He went to sleep in 1984 and never woke up.miss u so much daddy 💔💔💔 never a day goes by I don’t think of u.this song makes me cry so much but happy tears.touches me every time.bless u Don Williams thank you for memories.sleep tight daddy love ya❤️❤️❤️❤️xxxxx

I love this song so much it brings me to tears every time I hear it God Bless You Don

I'd never heard this song until my hospice patient passed away 2 days ago, the day before his and his wife's 62nd anniversary. She told me to listen to it because it was "their song." God rest your soul, Mr. C, and God bless your wife and give her comfort and peace 🙏🏼 ❤

What a voice!!! Love this song. Brings back memories of the 70's. This was a very popular number on the Ceylon Broadcasting Corporation... We were in India

True talent .never grow old of this man .

Words bring such truth, paint a picture that others see & really understand, bringing hearts forever together. I traveled years from Florida through states, to a little country town, Graham, NC, where she put gold on my finger & life to our children...for a quarter century we shared love I'd never known & she forever knows this truth❤

What a great song. This is country music I loved as a little kid. Just beautiful.

RIP Don - the song that made me start loving country xx

Don Williams is one of the greatest of all times.

Blessed memories, when I used to play a cassette of Don Williams going to work, and dropping my children to school in Zimbabwe.😊 “Jesus Christ my best friend” for me at all times.

This is my parents "song"! My dad gave my mom the record once. My dad is in his last days on this earth and we will play this at the funeral. Thank you for this song!

Rest in peace, Mr. Williams. My wife and I loved your singing. This is our favorite song of yours, and it has meant so much to us over the years. So glad we got to see you in concert at the Paramount Theater in Ashland, Kentucky.

1st Jan 2019 evening and I'm enjoying this, bringing back memories

as if its only yesterday eversince i was 17 yrs. i have loved Don Williams songs and his soothing voice , and now am 54 and i still listen everyday . God Bless and long life Don Williams .

My father died a year ago and this was the song they played at the funeral (at his request). I can't hold back the tears.

My grandfather passed away 5 months ago today. That day, January 25th, 8:07 am is forever burned into my mind. This was the song my grandfather played to my annie and this was their song. Forever in my heart papa. I will always love you. See you when my time comes. You kicked cancers ass 10 years ago and had a heart attack and still have two thumbs up when the doctors went to give you surgery. I love you papa

played this for my best friend at our wedding,love her so much.a very catchy and beautiful song.

Please keep Don in your thoughts and prayers, as he recovers from illness. He's a great singer, with a voice that's amazing.

So sad to hear this amazing man is gone now R.I.P Don Williams who passed away today at age 78 he will be remembered always.

You just can’t beat the old ones.... music has changed so much in my lifetime it’s not the same but at least I can pick and choose what I want thanks to social media AWSOME 👌👌

What a beautiful soul...with one of the best voices EVER in country music! Thanks for posting!

This song resonates with so many individual people for so many individual reasons. All of them centre around the most precious gift of all, love.

You placed gold on my finger You brought love like I've never known You gave life to our children And to me a reason to go on [Chorus] You're my bread when I'm hungry You're my shelter from troubled winds You're my anchor in life's ocean But most of all you're my best friend [Verse 2] When I need hope and inspiration You're always strong when I'm tired and weak I could search this whole world over You'd still be everything that I need [Chorus] You're my bread when I'm hungry You're my shelter from troubled winds You're my anchor in life's ocean But most of all you're my best friend [Outro] You're my bread when I'm hungry You're my shelter from troubled winds You're my anchor in life's ocean But most of all you're my best friend

This song is even the most inspirating, to me, Whenever I am sad or without inspiration to start any kind of task, I listern to this and feel warm to go on...Yeah...«To me a reason to grow on» I listerned to this son since I was 6. Now my kids who are 16 -18 like this song. Thank to you William ...xxxx

My wife passed away 30 monthis ago this july 19. This song describes our relationship very well. Thanks Don for such a great performance.

Rest in peace, a truly great voice

I love Mr. Williams....such a Man he is......he touches my heart and soul...with his words, tone, and musical background... btw, his best friend must be Jesus Christ....hear his words

This song keeps sending shockwaves through my throats whenever I listen to it. Here's my story: my dad died when I was far away in distant world studying. He was buried and didn't meet him, till long after when I traveled back home..shown where he laid, rests. I played this song that day 24 hours nonstop among waves of sobs.

I still remember the day I heard this song on the car radio and stopped and bought the record for my wife. It was her favorite song for the remainder of her life. She was truly my best friend. Through good times and bad times , on dry ground or in the muck she was always out front leading interference for her family.

One of the all time best. What a songwriter and singer. RIP Don Williams.

Love this guys music...you have to love that Don Williams has 2.5 million plus hits....there's hope for the planet yet! ; )

He was and is till now my lovely singer

Yes lord God has truly blessed this man with a wonderful voice even though he passed away This man is truly I hope he is in heaven because now he It's singing with his best friend the Lord Jesus Christ I have been dealing with depression and it's been really getting to me But listening to this beautiful song should remind all of us and to all of his children you can search this whole world up and down but you will never have a friend like Jesus He is our bread when we are hungry When we are thirsty Like when Jesus was talking to the samaritan woman Jesus ask her can I get a drink The woman replied to Jesus you are a Jew and I am a Samantha And you come and ask me for a drink Jesus said if you knew this water that I give you you would never thirst again The samaritan woman told him give me some of this water Jesus was referring to the living water The word of God that never runs dry When your soul is dry and thirsty pick up the word of God Because Jesus wants to hear from all of his children It doesn't matter what nationally background you come Jesus said if I'd be lifted up I would draw all men's unto me When I just heard this song I knew exactly what this song is talking about hes talking about Jesus His best friend

Today was my Mom and Dads 57th anniversary and my Dad sung this to her this morning in church. I’m so blessed with my amazing parents…

Amen thank you Lord Jesus Christ amen ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

Have a look at Don singing this beautiful song in Ireland! the audience is word perfect!

*Remembering my younger years in the 70's. I am now 70 and I still love to hear these music.🎶💖*

Rest in Peace Don. Thank You for the many years of beautiful music. You will be missed.

A voice so smooth,,,its like melting butter pecan Ice Cream.One of the best voices in country music,,,,when Country was still just that.R.I.P Mr.Williams.

This song played at my uncle funeral and every time I listen it I remember all the happy memories I had with him.

I never get tired of hearing this song. I have been to his concert twice. Love hearing him

This song takes me back to my childhood. I can’t even explain why it chokes me up every time, especially the LIVE version when the audience sing along. Such a sweet song from an awesome man. Huge regrets that I never saw him in concert. RIP
