Gary Allan lost his wife who battled with severe depression shortly after this was released. He remade a song "best I ever had" in memory of her .He's one of the greatest artists in history and just knowing the details about his wife made me feel for him so much more.

My hubby and I were 13 and 14 when we met - 60 years together before god took him home - loved him all my life - love him still

I lost my wife of 10 years at her age of 29, we have 2 daughters at the time of 5 and 8, she was my best friend and lover, we married young while I was in the military. 3 yrs later god blessed me with a beautiful loving women that’s helped me heal, and one day while waiting for me to get ready for a date she played this song for me,omg I cried to her and 18 yrs later we have 2 more daughters and 3 grandchildren, to this day I still love and miss my first wife, but I’m so deeply in love my my wife now, life couldn’t be better.

Gary is the most underrated Country singer in my opinion I love everything he does.

Who is still listening? 20 years later and this is as beautiful and fresh. Gary Allan your songs have a special way of touching our hearts and souls.❤

1994 I (17) met a woman (16) that was way out of my league.. an absolute angel.. heavenly in every respect.. we dated for the most amazing 4 months.. her dad told her we couldn't be together.. I crashed to my lowest point.. I joined the navy seabees.. served my country, became a man.. went through some rough times.. 2023, i reached out to her.. Celeste and I are on our 3rd month back together.. finding out we each have what the other had been searching for for the past 28 years... We've been far apart and both going thru the same things.. the same hardships.. together, she's treated better than she's ever been, and i have my queen to serve and honor.. I have the love I've been missing... And we figured out what we felt as kids so long ago, was what's right. Celeste, I'm already old, but thru my teary eyes, I wanna spend the rest of my life by your side. Opening your door, telling you you're beautiful.. I want to spend my days defending your honor, and doing my best to make sure every woman asks her man "why cant you be like that"..

I wanted to play this song at our wedding.We didn't get that day.I guess the Lord needed her more.I miss the love of my life and I can't wait to see her again.I LOVE YOU ELY.Thanks Gary for all the beautiful songs.

This man cannot make a bad song

The most beautiful love song ever...

I had a boyfriend when I was 14, who loved me right away... within two weeks of dating me he told me he loved me and I was the One for him... it scared me being so young and he was 3 years older than me, he was good and o was wild... we are opposites. I broke things off cause I was scared and didn't think I deserved him. My sister played this song for me and told me This was his song to me... we have been together now for 15+ years and married almost 12, have 2 beautiful children and I reminisce on those things. Hearing this song cleared it all up for me when I was 14, he was for real and loved me and was willing to wait on me to be sure... he is the One for me.

This is one of my favorite Gary Allan songs. ❤️

This song was played today as my wedding party Processional. The second verse made me burst into tears. Amazing song.

Most amazing love song for any one with a broken and damaged heart. I love Gary Allen and his amazing voice!

The man I gave my heart to, sent me this beautiful song this morning. I let him know last night, after eight months of his waiting, that I finally let my walls down and that I trust him and love him deeply. He really is The One for me as much as I am for him. He lost his beloved wife several years back and thought he’d never love again. God put us in each other’s path and we’re both so blessed and thank God every day. Gary’s song is for both of us. 🙏🌹

Gary is so underrated. One of our best country voices. Nashville never really seem to embrace him.

My husband and I danced to this song the day we got engaged. Then we danced to this song at our wedding reception. Played the song at the service for my husband after he passed away.

His voice is so unique. Love all of his songs. I wish he was recognized more. His talent is so underrated.

This song gives me goosebumps. Gary Allan is an incredible artist who is vastly underrated!

I've only recently lost the love of my life, a man like this, who would have given anything to stay a little longer with me. It's the worst sadness I've ever endured to be separated from him like this. Sure wish I could be where he is now. I wouldn't have given up the time I've had with him for the world even if I'd known it would be short. Now I have to search for him again in our next life, because I'm not whole without him.

Imagine a man tenderly worrying about your broken heart? Holy shit!

I applaud Gary, With all he's faced in life he stood strong. Keep the head up my man!

OMG 🙏🙌♥️ thank you for this song it truly touched my soul..the meaning is EXACTLY what I'm living , I have found "The one" that people talk about having that feeling and at 42 it finally struck me, after much life lived the wisdom has given me a different view about what's most important in life and God has put this incredible woman in my path completely out of the blue... We connect on so many levels I crave to be with her every moment of every day, the rest of our lives... Don't want to miss a second of any of it with her 🙏🙏♥️♥️🙏🙏

This is one of the greatest song ever recorded!

Takes my breath away everytime I hear this song.....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This wonderful man has been through hell and back and can still sing a very amazing love song....

People, just listen to him ONCE and you will want to hear every song he has put out,its his music that puts him in the category with the best country artist !

I am in same position of the lady he is dedicated on this song. I still have broken wings that need time to heal. Thank you for singing this song. It really touched my heart.

I love this song and his voice so much!

"The One" No rush though I need your touch I won't rush your heart Until you feel on solid ground Until your strength is found, girl I'll fill those canyons in your soul Like a river lead you home And I'll walk a step behind In the shadows so you shine Just ask it will be done And I will prove my love Until you're sure that I'm "the one" Somebody else was here before He treated you unkind And broken wings need time to heal Before a heart can fly, girl I'll fill those canyons in your soul Like a river lead you home And I'll walk a step behind In the shadows so you shine Just ask it will be done And I will prove my love Until you're sure that I'm "the one" Trust in me and you'll find a heart so true All I want to do is give the best of me to you And stand beside you Just ask it will be done And I will prove my love Until you're sure that I'm "the one" Submit Corrections A-Z Lyrics G GARY ALLAN Lyrics "Alright Guy" (2001)

When my husband and I first starting dating over 15 years ago, he played this for me. I knew in that instant his intention was to 'fix' the brokenness left by first husband. It was our wedding song and is still my ringtone for when he calls me!

Love this song. Depression is evil. Music is my outlet helps me through the days. Also medication. Thanks Gary for wonderful heart felt songs 🎵 ❤️

Wow, for being 2023 now, this song still touches my heart 💗💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️. Thank You Jesus Christ Amen 🙏🙏💕💕♾️♾️.

This man is awesome... I have loved him from the beginning... With nothing on but the radio was on the radio was a big hit.... he is IT.....

Never has a song touched me like this one , awesome Gary Allen thanks for sharing with the world !

Love sure helps make people fly again. Whether it’s a friendship or more. Kindness goes a long way. Great song

Words of serious love. 🤠⚘️😘Such a gentleman. Wow, he'll build those canyons in your soul. Amazing♡♡. Never gets old.

Who's still listening in 2019? To me it's still the greatest song ever written

My husband used to sing this song to me out by the river. We would dance to it if we went out on the dance floor and always singing it. To listen to this song now that he's gone. Heaven gained an awesome angel in 2016. Awesome man, father, confident, my best friend. No one will ever fill those shoes. Nor do I expect them to. It's all about repect. Gary Allen knows how to get into the heart and to the soul. God bless and many blessings to all

This song melts my heart

Beautiful singing voice of Gary Allan.👌

This guy is so good and under rated!

My favorite song from Gary Allan. Was fortunate enough to see him live a couple years ago and when he played this song I cried. 🌹🌺🌷

Gary Allen wow...no voice like his.. this song is magic, every woman melts hearing it. All his songs are amazing, I listen to his music often, can’t get enough!

It 's magical! How many tears and vodka were poured out to this song.

Hes amazing honestly ... Couldnt ask for a better artist

Oh my goodness.. I haven't heard this song in more than 20 years and I still love it just the same. 💗💗💗

I first saw Gary on Australia In late 90s. Than saw him twice in Australia. He's is best I have seen live. And to this day am such a fan. Smoke rings in the dark. Won me over.

God I think u have finally sent me the one.. she is the most amazing and wonderful woman ..when I look into her eyes I can see nothing but happiness and much love to come as we grow closer and closer together.. thank u so much God for bringing Kim into my life ...... love you amen

one of a kind voice, thanks Gary for making great music

I was depressed.Now I look forward in my life.God gave me strenght and trust in myself.Today IM ALIVE

My ex husband sent me this song a couple weeks before he ask me to marry him. We got 8 years together and then he passed away suddenly at 45 years old. A ruptured aneurysm. It always feels like a cruel joke, to find a man so kind, so in love, only to be left alone. It has been 12 years but, every time I listen to it my eyes fill with tears. ❤️

Best musician in history. No one has a voice quite like Gary❤️

Damit Gary, Legend Status from day one Thank You

Who’s listening 2024 ❤😇🪽🕊️

❤ Would love to see him in concert! His music is like a fresh spring rain!❤

Haven't heard much from Gary lately. He's the man! Great singer!

Fortunate enough to see him twice live in concert. I was front row up against the stage the second time and cried the entire time. After the concert, he came up to me and signed my phone. Thank you, for making one of my dreams come true ❤️

Mr Allen, your music is felt so deep down in my heart ❤ I've been battling Depression & Anxiety for years but your Song's make me feel like...I can't give up now. Maybe someday I can get better. Love your Music 🎶 ❤

Omg this song is so beautiful and it went straight to my heart. 😢

This song is right up there with “Amazed” in my books

This came out when my husband and I first started dating. He told me this song was how he felt about me knowing I had been through some really rough times before him, but he was willing to prove he was the One for me. Well we played it at our wedding and we’ve been together 18 years and married 17 years. It still feels like we’ve only just got married. Glad I got the right One this time.

I'm still listening after 10 years. My heart won't change and my memories are fused to it!

Reading comments while playing this song😁everyone is talking about their beautiful love stories While me, I've lost my heart to someone I couldn't remember or maybe there's really no one maybe I just feel like there's someone 🤔🤔😫🦇

If you do not like Gary Allan... .then you have absolutely no soul.... nor any notion of what real country music is meant to be. Fantastic artist.

Gary Fan for Life.I am 57 now.Good music never dies.

A heartwarming song sung by an extraordinary artist.

Never get tired of this song 🎵

Many people can relate with this beautiful song. Melody and lyrics are awesome!

Never heard of Gary Allan before. What an exquisite voice and a really nice video. The accent and little crack in his voice......I actually lack the words to describe the effect of the song on me. Beautiful

Just heard this for the first time and it's the perfect tune to play for someone who I care deeply about.

Does this kind of love from a man really exist?

Not a huge country fan but this song is absolutely beautiful.

Just Listening To This Musical Genuise...Gary Allen Always Makes Me FEEL SO Beautiful About My Slef....

I Love all of Gary Allan's music 🎶 He is my favorite singer of all the singers ,He is so Awesome to me ❤️

The other day, a guy I was friends with in highschool 30+ years ago, messaged me on FB. We have been reliving our youth and just laughing and catching up. He sent me this video and told me to listen to the words and remember that he sent it to me. I have always loved this song, but now it has a new meaning for me. ❤❤

I’m so in love with this...it’s so beautiful it has me crying 😢❤️. I want this...

Dear God if she's the one please bring "us" together.

This is such a poetic and beautiful song 😢❤️

Gary is a great singer/ dad I have grown up to his music I love this song along with other’s he has written for other artists. I finally got to Gary’s concert with my wife last Thursday the 14th at Poplur Bluff Missouri at Black River Colosseum it was a great concert. He was there back in 2018 hopefully he will stop by in the future. I’ll definitely be there to see him again. 100%

He’s my absolute favorite. Always has been. I may never find “the one”. It’s ok. Some never do.

This song will never get old to me. It will forever take me back to when I met the love of my life. I made her a CD with this song so she could hear it anytime. I couldn’t have come up with these words ...but is exactly how I felt. She will forever be “the one “

He speaks to my heart

This is the most beautiful and heartfelt song! Speaks to the very depths of my heart

Such a Talented artist and Beautiful Song. I can so relate ive been mistreated so bad. The ones we think are the ones hurt u alot but all u can do is pray for them. Ill always love some but being treated the way i deserve and Being in love seems impossible but i have Faith it will happen at the Right time. Its been a long road.

My favorite song of his. So beautiful.

Never heard this song till a friend sent it to me yesterday. My heart. 07/04/21

And Gary I’m sorry for the loss of your wife and God be with you always now and God bless you always now love you Gary

BEAUTIFUL SONG ❤❤ BEAUTIFUL SONG ❤❤

How I wish someone would sing me this song 😍😍

I lost this love when I was 18. It came out of nowhere and almost killed me. However this would have been my song to her.

I love him and his music. He has the best voice and his songs are so beautiful as is he

Dear Lord this man is FINE as hell...

This is for the people who think their lonely but someone IS always thinking of you !

Yes I agree love this song I been through so much

This hits hard on so many levels....

Gary Allen is one of best artists there is, he put his heart and soul into his music.....absolutely love this man.....Awesome!!!

The song says it all! His voice completes it!

My husband is my heart, I am so blessed, I never knew a love like him. I've only known pain. He is my hero, my husband, my life partner, my everything. He saved me.

I've been broken so many times and hurt that it has damaged beyond times that it blinded me from true love when I had it.

My wedding song, she was treated very poorly in the past and as soon as I played this for her, she feel I love with you. “Somebody else, was here before, he treated you unkind”
