I watched you walking on the beach today for a while , you found the shell I left for you and you smiled , but I could still sense the sadness I could see it in your eyes, it was just my way of saying goodbye. I saw you go into the old cafe, the one where we used to meet , I stood outside on the pavement saw you take the window seat, I pressed my face against the glass as if to kiss your cheek, it was just my way of saying goodbye. I saw you taking buster for a walk in the park, the way we always did together just before dark, I bet you wondered why he started to bark , almost like he knew i was there . I sat with you on the bus to the cemetery , I listened, . to every single word you said to me , I never realised that those departed could still cry, I guess it was your way of saying goodbye. time has passed and again you walk these sands, this time your'e holding someone else's hand , I can almost feel you squeeze it like you used to squeeze mine , I'll be leaving now I know your'e gonna be fine. And Buster's here with me , I was there the night he died , his tail is wagging hard as he stands here by my side , A light is shining brightly now , I think for us it's time, we'll leave here knowing , your'e gonna be fine.

I don’t know what to say anymore. This one blows me away, Frank. You are simply a master at melody, lyrics, storytelling… you will be BELOVED for so many,many years, long after we are all dust. Another Bravo. Beloved. ❤️🎶❤️

Im a full grown U.S. Infantryman, and here i am crying to this song. Your songs hit the soul just right. youre singing from the heart.

You’ve got an amazing voice, and I love listening to your songs. Truly, it’s okay that you don’t know where your songs are going, feelings and art are like that. We’ll be here listening if you need anything. I’ve loved watching your songs, and has time has gone on. ❤

I always cry when I watch your videos. I'm so scared of losing the people I love and my family, like I lost my grandma last year, this song touched me deeply. Thank you for the feelings, your art is so good and it will stick forever 💖

My grandpa passed away a month ago and i really miss him. He had such a beautiful heart. This song made me think of him..Thank you Frank, stay safe, much love from Greece ❤

This brought a tear to me Frank. The most beautiful words I've heard. God bless you and keep you safe.

it's five in the morning and I'm listening to your music... it's wonderful... hello from Kyrgyzstan... ❤️

Please please put these on Spotify!! These songs deserve to be well known!

I may be young, But your music has something which is so true and so melancholic. It's beautiful Frank absolutely beautiful.

Frank, I'm not sure if you'll read this but I read in an interview that you were surprised with all the positive attention you have been getting for your music, and I think that that's a beautiful look into your humility. You are a great musician and seem to be a greater man. Keep on going, we appreciate everything you do. Take care :)

This song is really beautiful. My grandpa passed away a few years ago and this song made me think of the times me and my grandpa would sing songs together. Thank you for this beautiful song, Frank. Lots of love from the Philippines!

This is beautiful Frank. I only recently found your music but it’s very beautiful indeed. Hope you are well Frank. :) Edit: I’d like to add I really love your voice it’s just so whole and human along with the soft acoustic guitar it’s a very grounded sound. Thank you for sharing your songs ie your voice and your playing ability and your lyrics, very beautiful song about loss it was comforting.

Made me cry. Frank that is beautiful songwriting and the performance could not be better. Thank you for your artistry. You sir are indeed an artist.

The subtle quiver in his voice when he says "goodbye" broke me.

Grown man sobbing his eyes out right here, sat next to my dog whilst I battle leukaemia. Love your work, this one got me though.

i am finally ending my day at 8 AM, listening to this song and thinking about life. again. thank you, grandpa frank. i always feel vulnerable alone (finally) when i close the lights and door, as i listen to your songs

im from japan so forgive me my poor english! I really love listening to your songs!! I understand a little but feel the emotions!! Thank you dear man! Stay safe at times like this

absolutely beautiful as always, this really touched my heart. What you do is so special, thank you for letting us be a part of your music

Probably the algo brought me her via Daniel Johnson, but I'm glad it did. The nicest old geezer, one man and his guitar on You Tube.

Thank you Frank for those awesome videos, we love you ❤

My grief for the people I’ve loved that are passed is deep. Frank, with your songs and with God by my side I move forward everyday. Thank you for helping in that process. You are truly a God send. Killed in car accidents my best friend and like a second mother Jan, my nephew Robert, my best friend Kristine’s sister Kimmy and mother Lynda in separate accidents. Killed by Covid protocol in the hospital my best friend Joyce. My Father Frank by multiple myeloma, aunt and uncle by cancer. And so many more. I guess when you love hard and love many you lose hard too. God be with us all.

y'know, I didn't think I'd start crying when I found "virtual grandpa" but here we are... that was beautiful.

Yesterday, your cover of Creep came across my page and our guitar playing and voice are so soothing I fell asleep listening to your original songs. Today is the second night and I am listening and clicking Like to every song you sang, while I am shelling seeds to grow in my flower garden. Just My Way of Saying Goodbye is so poignant, my eyes were moist throughout the song. But it was knowing that Buster was wagging his tail harder while he stood by your side broke the dam and made the tears fall in earnest. So precious. ❤

Very detailed story telling, love it

Thanks Frank, I love your songs, I'm glad KZfaq made me Travel path with you

sippin on a bourbon feeling blue tonight this fits my mood nice one Frank

i love this a lot, your original songs always make me cry because of how beautiful they are :')

Hello sir.... U r an awesome soul.... GOD BLESS U❤️❤️😊🙏👍

Absolutely wonderful!

This was incredibly moving. Thank you so much for sharing. It makes me think of my recent 12 year long relationship ending and my dog dying. Rough. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your songs with us! They're very beautiful.

This song is beautiful, Frank. Fantastic work

This made me think of my mom, and how i sometimes wish she could see me grow up. Thank you.

Your voice absolutely touch my heart. Just listening to your original songs/covers, hugs me very warmly. I listen to you whenever I study and just want to chill, you are amazing sir Frank 💚

This has to be my favorite song you’ve written so far. My friend had a boxer named buster, your song reminded me of a lot of childhood memories. Although this song wasn’t written about me and my friend, I will always feel it was. Thanks for making my playlists better and hope you are doing well.

Oh, Frank, this one got me. 😢❤️

The best songs tell a story. The best stories leave you filling in the little details, holding your mind because you wonder about everything it hints but doesn't tell. Thank you, Frank.

Didn't expect you'd have a new song when I clicked on your channel just now. Didn't expect to hear this while thinking about my papa. Did kind of think I'd have a good cry tonight. Beautiful song

I just discovered you today. And this is the second song I listened to. But I already adore your way of musical storytelling and your calm and soothing vocals. can't wait to see what other songs you have.

I wish I was as talented of a song writer as you, your work is truly beautiful.

thank you for this beautiful song. I fall asleep at night as you songs play they calm me down enough to not be wrecked by horrible thoughts as i think of a more peaceful life. Keep on dreaming on Frank ❤

You have an angelic but comforting voice, truly touching so many peoples hearts, including mine. Your songs are so poetic and bring so much happiness, keep going❤️

Lost my grandpa to cancer a couple years ago, you do not know how happy this makes me

Very touching song Frank..Thank you for all you do my friend. I love to play along with you on your videos,I can figure out the chords but I like it when you show the frets as well. Say hi to Marshall and stay safe. Much Love from Ohio. ❤

Damn that brought me goosebumps and tears... such a beautiful song thanks for sharing Frank xox

Wow, this hit me. Love your song, Frank!

That was the most beautiful thing i have ever heard in my entire life, you never fail to amaze! The peace i feel is incredible

Thank you for blessing my day with the loveliest emotions. I'm touched 💓

There’s only a few songs from memory that have made me cry. This just made the list. It reminds me of a girl I knew. How I think about all the memories and how it felt to just be around her. I miss her so much. I want to go back to how things were but I know I can’t. It brings me peace knowing she’s okay. I just wish I could be there with her to see it.

Well blinking heck Frank, I'm now a blubbering wreck!😭😭 I went from watching your cover of Only 19 to this....😭 But you know, this is what some songs and their lyrics are supposed to do....tell a story, make you laugh, make you cry, make you angry!🙏👍😊 By golly Frank you really nailed it with this original of yours, just fabulous! .....I've pulled myself together now! 😢....👍😄

Thanks again, Frank. Great as always.

Leonard Cohen would be proud of this ... Wonderful work as always sir x

such a great way with words & a wonderful voice, we love you frank

I love this man with all my heart,bless his soul

I love this song. It's life and I can feel it. Your song is brilliant! Thank you for sharing it with us.

This video popped up on my recommended-it was so beautiful to listen to, it moved me to tears. Looking forward to watching others of yours!

you have made another grown adult man cry. I am convinced the world is all evil until i hear songs like this that remind me that it is not true. You mess with my emotions the same way johnny cash does, and i so greatly appreciate that. Thank you sir.

Jesus Frank this is freaking beautiful.

This is so beautiful. I was trying to hard not to cry but the tears won, it just moved me so much. I love your work Frank, you're the greatest ♥

This is so beautiful!!!!

You reminded me of something special. My late father, well his favorite number was 11. And after his passing, I have always found a dime and a single in the weirdest places, my shoe, fish tank, in the shower everywhere. And thinking of the other side of that coin, you've made me move to tears. I'm sure you hear this too often, but your voice has an amazing quality to grip at heart strings and just pull. Like your plucking away at a guitar. Thank you so so much from reawakening old memories Frank.

I cry every time I hear you sing, but I keep listening. 😢❤

I don't know you but thru your songs I feel I love you ♥️thank you & cheers from across the pond

I’ve had writers block and you’ve inspired me👏🏽 thank you

So beautiful, thank you! ❤️

I love this song. Great job Frank, proud of you.💗

Beautiful song, Frank. Thank you for sharing your art with us. Cheers!

this song.... oh gosh it is so good. I just have to let my girlfriend in an other district, like 200 miles, and I just didn't know how to say I love her... I will see her this weekend I guess I will let her hearing it. Thanks Frank to let me this kind of occasion ❤

Damn your songs hit right through the heart, great storyteller

I thought I forgot what it felt like to actually cry to music, so much so that when I played guitar to my fiance and they cried I didn't understand why... But this has actually brought it out to me. Thanks Frank, its been awhile since I had a good cry over some lyrics. It makes me kinda wish that someone who was close to me was still around so I can show her what I've learned on the six string, maybe see if I could make those same feelings come out before she departed.

I found your music a few days again and since have listened to many of the songs you have put on KZfaq. I absolutely love the passion you have for your music and I want to thank you for sharing your art with all of us.

Amazing, Frank. Was tearing up the whole way.

Fraaaaaank! You always bring a tear to my eye. You're such a beautiful sweet man. Thank you for sharing your music and story.

I love this man. 💓

This is amazing! Your best original song ever. I love it!

Why do you got to be so good, at making me so sad. Great song.

Touching, as always.

love from saudi arabia💓🇸🇦

You write such beautiful songs ❤

Mesmerising just absolutely beautiful

Mate, I just have to tell you what an unbelievably moving song this is. As someone who lost his father at age 12 (16 years missed this month) and my first dog and best friend, Bob, around 7 years ago this time of year also, I truly can appreciate the depth and emotion of this one. Simply Beautiful, keep doing your thing, you f*%#ing rock, sir! ✊🏻
