Thanks to The Brothers Four for this beautiful song

thank God i belong to the baby boomer generation born 1958 listening to beautiful music such as this... twas so good be young then...

I was eight in 1960. First time when I heard this song, tears came up to my eyes. I was a little thin Japanese boy. I couldn't understand the words but I surely felt very sad. I still listen to this song.

Thanks guys this take millions of us back decades. It sure does me.

My mother bought the LP at least 60 years ago -- maybe because we were 4 brothers, no sisters. An Afrikaans familie in Bloemfontein, South Africa. I'm 70.

One of all time favourites. A great, peaceful song.

I had my newborn child 3 days ago, a lovely lil girl. I've been singing her this song whenever she needs to be calmed 🥰🥰🥰 She did calmed down though.

My Lovely and favourite song,Thank You Brothers Four very Lovely Song!!

Music to its purest form

เพลงนี้ฟังมาแต่ยังเป็นเด็กน้อย ขอบคุณที่สร้างความสุข. ( Thai )

As someone who just turned the age of 70, well, I can relate in such a meaningful way to this song. The Brothers Four were a fantastic group of very talented musicians and performers. God bless them and God bless us all.

I have been young and now am old. This song and other reflective ballads bring floods of bittersweet memories, emotions, thoughts. How strange this life the great creator has endowed us with. For the fullest meaning of existence come to him, read his book the Bible and follow the instructions to bow before the son he sent. Life is meant to be lived toward him.

Thank so much AWESOME MUSIC

I was 12 yrs old when the brothers 4 were a hit. I am now 70, and still playing their timeless songs again and again. thanks..

That song still gives me goosebumps. Love your music guys.

Songs are like wine, as they age, they taste better...

This song has remained in my mind to this day. I was young then...

This song will always be Pure Gold.

Unique and Timeless , Lovely Brothers ....

STILL ONE of the great songs in 2019.

Wonderful song.. Such real memories.

One of the most beautiful songs that is eternal..

Since I was a child, living in the interior of Minas Gerais (Brazil), I saw my father listening or even humming these songs. Today, they are part not only of history, but of people's souls. It brings longing, peace, breath! (Agnelo Neto-Jornalista)

When I turned 5 or 6 The Brothers Four performed at my Dad's Elks Club. (1967 or '68) Dad went to school or grew up with Dick Foley. Mr. Foley and the Brothers Four sang me happy birthday! That I will never forget! Dad passed away too early & I don't remember whether they went to school or grew up together. We owned that first album from the beginning though & I loved it!!

Music that has the power to touch even the hardest heart... what a beautiful memory this song brings with it...

I never saw the movie but I heard this beautiful haunting song when I was a youngster, possibly 60 years ago. I still love it and makes me think of young innocent years back home playing with my schoolmates during recess times. What memories it evokes even now. Thank you for keeping it alive😍

To Mark: The Alamo is my husband's favorite movie, and this song is my all-time favorite! We grew up in the 60's in Southern California. Thanks for bringing so much joy to generations of people with your music, you have a true gift! Love you lots! Blessings to you and your group!

I could listen to your beautiful singing forever... Thank you, guys.

So beautiful and so SAD. 🥺. 👍🎉

Lots of miles driving in the car listening to their songs.....each generation got to luv their songs. and was a must in the car....never left home w/out their tunes...

Love these guys !!!! Real music, when music was music !

Old songs are complete package to reminisce the past. Still love listening to it. Though many new songs are composed still it cannot match the meaningful messages of old songs.

I first heard this classic song about 1974, when I was 7. I grew up and became a cinephile, fan of classic movies too, especially John Wayne's ones and westerns. Now, I am remembering this track is from The Alamo. Excellent!

Now I'm getting older and this symphony still in my mind and heart, thanks for sharing sir

Of all the Brothers Four songs, this is my favorite because while it is haunting, it reminds me that I do not have much time to enjoy the green leaves of summer..

Speechless,,, this band is so wonderful.. full of soul.. just listening to the song is just, your taking you back from the past.. where everything's not complicated..

This is so nostalgic, it brings tears to my eyes.

In my youth I had growing up with this song in my ear every day and every day Thank you for the performance

It evokes my college days even after decades.Such a simple and lovely song by Bros 4.It will be carried by me till death.

Thanks for all the beautiful memories!! 1961, college freshman...Oh, to be that young again!!!

Bello, maravilloso tema . Muy buenos recuerdos 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I'll never 4get it, as a young man seeing the lady n kids leave the 'Alamo', with this song as background score, everyone was quiet, in tears

Brings me tears and memories of my high school days - those happy, innocent, care-fee days...

I saw the Brothers Four at the Clark Gym at what was the University of Buffalo NY in the Spring of 1961 - just as the students were getting ready to graduate and go home, the Green Leaves of Summer are calling me (and them) Home..... You could hear the tears as they sang this beautiful song..... Truly 'was so good to be young then.....'

Can't describe how touchy is it for my memories... Thanks a lot for everyone, singers, composer and poetry... there is always a place in my heart to you, guys...

I heard the song some 50 years ago.It is still ringing green in my ears!A deathless song.

I missed my Dad. This music fed my childhood with sweet memories and his embrace. I miss you so much papa. I love you. Yes my tears shed when i listen to this song, the song that reminds me of you.

so love their harmonies. wish i could have seen them in person. and LOVE those Martin guitars

Those songs will never be forgotten ,but to be remembered

I remember when I saw the Alamo as a child and this song really hit me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never being forgotten song Thank you

Fantastique. True eternal music

What a blessing to see them singing in 2020. I've been listening them since 1990.

This song was written by Francis Weber, and the music was composed by Dimitry Tiomkin. We also have to give credit to the "Brothers Four" for their talent in bringing out the best in this song.

The song reminds me of my childhood.

For 61 years I like hear and listen to this wonderful song . I wish longevity and health to veteran performers.

What a fantastic song sung so beautifully by the Brothers Four. Thank you for the wonderful music - this and many others that you have given us. This has enables us to have many hours of enjoyment. David Thambiratnam, Brisbane, Australia

Ein fantastisches Lied das ich schon 60 immer wieder gerne Höre

God they took me back to my teens, it felt so good to my ears, mind u I am 70 years old

Such beautiful voices,each in their own right and together they are a masterpiece!

Alway provided very very beautiful song for us.....Thanks

I grew up hearing the Brothers Four, on TV, radio, and especially the Firestone Christmas albums. Trying not to be an old fogey here. But so much popular music in the mid 60s was GOOD music.

Wonderful 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

Absolutely beautiful I can not stop lisetning thanks GRACIAS ALAMOS

An absolute great song. One of the best of all time.

Beautiful!

You’re all great singers even at this stage of your life! God bless you in your journey.Hope there would be another group of young men to follow your name! Thank you for those wonderful songs!

Wo... wo... A time to be reaping A time to be sowing The green leaves of summer Are calling me home " Twas so good to be young then In the season of plenty When the catfish were jumping As high as the sky A time just for planting A time just for ploughing A time to be courting A girl of your own " Twas so good to be young then To be close to the earth And to stand by your wife At the moment of birth, wo... A time to be reaping A time to be sowing A time just for living A place for to die " Twas so good to be young then To be close to the earth Now the green leaves of summer Are calling me home " Twas so good to be young then To be close to the earth Now the green leaves of summer Are calling me home

Wow! They still got it!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Oct.25, 2019,,one of my fav. songs.from the bros.4..anybody listening now?🤛

My favorite from the Brothers Four. Loved this song.

ONE OF THE SONGS I NEVER FORGOT

I love happy music.

My siblings and I as babes, toddlers to young children and adults were so lucky to grow up with this music of the classic era of the 60's to the 80's. I wish we can turn back the hands of time or if we have a time machine just in this age of technology I will definitely jump in!!

Any time I listen to this song I fall in love with it, Though they are old now, I still love thier songs.

I had been living in a different country for 2 years when I heard this song. Made me long for the honmeland as I wanted the familiar things I had grown up with to be around me once again.

No words to describe the joy of listening to them.

Love this song, I was 7 years in 1961. Since these years I hear this beautiful song. I watched the movie many times. Greetings Brothers Four, from Costa Rica.

Was so good to be young then, to be close to the earth.....

Every time I listen to this song, my thoughts would drift back to a farm in China where I spent five years during the infamous “cultural revolution “ in 1960s. I was deeply in love with a beautiful girl, but because we came from families in the opposite political spectrums, I did not have the courage to express my love for her. How much I wish that I could sing this song to her back then, just as the Four Brothers did! Last night I had a dream in which I was carrying her in my back, running on the green field.

The Brothers Four were one of the amazing groups we had. The folk music was beautiful. I am a lot older now but those were my happiest days sitting in a coffee house and listening to folk music.🥰

Loved this song from when I was a kid growing up in New Zealand , now 71, living in Australia and still love it......

You look great .. thank you.. for all the beautiful music you made...

Beautiful song and these guys deliver .

I feel walking through the fields and I'm dreamming of time gone ...

I like their sweet performance ....are so good to be old then...the green leaf of summer is calling you right here to sing this song..

Green leaves of summer,Greenfields,Summertime ,fish are jumpin and the cotton is high!

Love this song.. Who's still watching..

Maravillosa,una de las mejores canciones que se han compuesto,y cantada de forma magistral.

From Philippines,I love to play this SONG REpeatedly,so easy to meditate Love it...

Nobody does this song better!!

One of the great songs I love to listen. Bring back lots of memories of my father who love the movie Alamo.

It was good to be young then, to be close to the earth...

Ah... the uplifting peace of harmony... "We, verily, have made music as a ladder for your souls, a means whereby they may he lifted up unto the realm on high." ~ Baha'u'llah, Baha'i Faith

And I remember this beautiful song from my childhood thanks a lot for this video
