My teacher in Worcester. Wonderful teacher and man. An absolute poet and gentleman. RIP Mr Ward.

My dear sister died of MND. The last time she was in my car ,this song came on the radio. She said oh I love this ,turned it up and sang her heart out. Rest in peace my love ❤❤❤❤❤

It's an incredible song. He's from the era when singers captivated you with their voices, no flashing lights and dancers required. Genius.

Magnificent & serene. From the days before Simon Cowell & his hoard of mediocrity.

Most underated song writer of the 70s.. by far

Criminally underrated. The best singer-songwriter Britain has ever produced.

I'm a fully grown adult male, this song brings me to tears.

My dad loved this song RIP Daddy miss you so much your little girl

Such a genuine gentleman was Clifford

The sublime Sir Terry Wogan's favourite song, and HE knew a bit about music! Pure class!

I'm Scottish.....but this lad wrote such grand sweetness of songs that are so English...he and his words are so gentle, but strong in such sentiment....Love his words..so sad, but he lives on...

Just How good was Clifford ? I just love his songs. He was very underrated. R.I.P. I Miss you Clifford. I really Do...................

A beautiful soul who created beautiful music...RIP Clifford T Ward......you will always be loved and admired...

This song touches every nerve in my being. The words and music makes me cry because its nostalgic. No mobiles or Internet all we had was telephones or letters to correspond. Any 1 of us from this era(which I was. ..) well, we were lucky we lived in the most simplistic of times and we don't hear music like this anymore xxxx bless you Mr Ward xxx

Sadly missed. A huge and vastly underrated talent. For a live performance this is breathtaking. RIP.

Mr Clifford was a lovely man. Gentle and Peacefule. I love his song Gaye.

We miss you, we really do.

This is a beautiful song. Don’t listen if you’ve just broken up with someone.

Beautiful lyrics Brilliant

Only a beautiful soul can sing and write songs like this, and he wrote many, thank you Clif for keeping me company on these cold winter nights, you are a treasure and i wish i had the pleasure of meeting you RIP

Probably the best song of all time

Utterly beautiful right from his heart, loved him...such a quiet personna...so very gifted xx

Beautiful song from the 1970s. I think it still sounds fresh and original. I would love one of today's singers to give it an airing

My Dad’s favourite song sung by a lovely English man so beautiful sweet and gentle

If Robert Browning could have heard this he'd of wished he'd written it himself.

Beautiful song. Some great comments here.

this song was on at my gran's funeral it makes me cry

In these troubled times it great to listen to the magical music Clifford T Ward used to produce. Listening to these sounds is quite uplifting in these dark days. It takes me back to when life was so much simpler and carefree ( or was I just imagining it ). Anyway, thanks Clifford T for such amazing songs .

RIP Mr Ward I don't know what brought me here, however you produced a beautiful song, a poem set to gentle music.

2021 still listening

What can you say, beautiful beyond words

A beautiful song. R.I.P Clifford, you are sadly missed.

Those of us who so loved his music....and his yearning vocal delivery -- will never let his songs die. I met Clifford at one of the annual conventions that helped raised funds while he was so ill. I read my appreciation of his work. And then we sat and spoke for awhile. But I never saw him again... Rest in song.......

"does the cistern still leak or have you found a man to mend it, oh and by the way how's your broken heart is that mended too" best words in the English language since shakespeare beautiful and chilling at the same tme

Just discovered this.BBC showed the songwriter programme on Friday. Wonderful!

Genuine lovely song what a genius Clifford t ward was and still is godbless 🙏 you

Takes me right back to my University days, listening to this song with my friend, he bought me Brownings Collected Poems, inscribed "Home Thoughts from Abroad is such a beautiful poem." Days long ago lost and forever gone.

Still brings a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye...

Clifford was a very successful singer in Brazil in the ealry 70´s with Gaye, Home thoughts from abroad, the bes is yet to come and Ocean of love... Believe it or not, but Gaye is a song which is still played today in Brazil and it makes me remember my good old time of my youth. RIP Clifford and thanks for this eternal gift... your lovely and deep songs.

Absolutely top drawer. What a beautiful song - ignore the wonky haircuts and 70s styles and listen to the melody and the lyrics. Compare this to some of the alleged music we have today - not all of it mind you, still some very good songs being produced - but think of rap and blokes wlaking around the stage chanting tuneless (and often offensive words) whilst jabbing their forefingers and little fingers up and down at the stage ... perhaps I am a dinosaur but I know which one will stand the test of time (as in the song is 40 years old)

c t w was a brilliant singer songwriter died so young use to play this song over and over still know it word for word after all these years r i p clifford

My favourite love song ever...this live version breaks me up...

Clifford T Ward singing one of his best songs - confirming what an outstanding live performer he was. Hugely enjoyable - wish we could have seen more of his live work!

went to school where cliff taught ace man and singer under achieved brilliant mind and song writer R.I.P

Just beautiful what has happened to all the great British song writers

fantastic song. he should have been a massive star. died far too young

He's a lovely lovely lovely poet name dropper. Absolutely brilliant song x

2020 and the first time ive heard this fantastic song fom a lovely man,r.i.p. cliffòrd.

Bought the LP’s then 8 track, cassette and cd. Now downloaded the albums on my phone. Love his music as it makes me smile. Great composer and singer.

one the greatest singer songwriters we ever had in the uk

The 70s was definitely the decade of the storyteller. This song is so beautiful and moving 💕

what a brilliant singer songwriter lots of good old days listening to clifford his lyrics are pure class

One of the best and deepest songs written.

Decided to listen by chance, it brought a tear to my eye.

No gimmicks just a beautiful song...

Love this. Used to be the last song of the night a local radio DJ would play. Miss you CTW x

This is so beautifully written and sung.

I don't think there are words in the English language to express how wonderful Clifford is and his songs straight from the heart . Rave on Mr.Ward .

One of my favourite songs… ever!

And are you laughing now, Cos I’m not, I miss you, I really do So much emotion in one song, this is magnificent.

Damn this song and The Best Is Yet To Come are so underrated

Loved this song the first time I heard it back in 1973, still love it today in 2022... A great inspiration, I like the words they used. Indeed

Lovely song sung by a beautiful soul. Still fondly remembered by many of us

Top song, very underrated musician.

this takes me back to a time when life was so good and happy..

Greatest love song ever.

....."And by the way, how's your broken heart ?".......can it get any more moving than that line ?

Home thoughts from abroad is such a beautiful poem..❤️

My mum's favourite song, brings me to tears every time I hear it

To re-visit Clifford's Home thoughts is like finding an old friend after many years

Beautiful man and stunning piece of music. Such an injustice how poorly he became. My parents took my older sisters to see him before I was born and he was so gentle. He picked one of my sisters up and his performance was effortlessly superb. So underrated for his exceptional talent for Song lyrics and gracious deliverance.....a true gem. ❤

GOOD TO HEAR THIS SONG ON BBC RADIO 2 16TH AUGUST - ANNEKA RICE BREAKFAST SHOW! STILL SOUNDS GREAT - WELL DONE CLIFFORD T WARD - STILL MY FAVOURITE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

Heaven certainly gained an angel with a heart and voice of gold.....

Greatest song ever written in my humble opinion

I have quite a few of Clifford's albums and agree with the comments below, his lack of success was shameful really. However he's still with us on KZfaq and whenever I slip an album on to hear this brilliant artist.

what a star cliff was. so glad i've rediscovered his music.

Quality, class, lyrically supreme and natural. all of the ingredients missing in todays forgettable bilge

A wonderful talented man, bless you, RIP

Great song great singer

Man.....what a song.....what a talented composer......

I miss you and your wonderful poetic music Clifford- i really do! Xx.

love this song makes me laugh/cry and think about life and how much I love it. RIP Clifford.t.ward

The greatest love song of all time sung by a man with an astounding voice. RIP Clifford T Ward

I really do love the Robinson-Stone interpreters keeping Clifford's beautiful music alive. Hope to see them live sometime in Ireland where he had/has many lifelong admirers. Ride on Clifford.

Beautiful song, always brings a tear, reminds me of my first love who I sadly lost.😢😢

one of the great singer/songwriters

Heard this today on the radio and thought how sad that he passed away so young. A truly great songwriter and poet, he left us with a wonderful catalogue of beautiful songs for us to enjoy.RIP

Another wonderful song mr Terence Wogan introduces me too !

I,d forgotten how good he was, and how much I loved his gentle music and inspired lyrics, God Bless him for leaving a legacy of beauty.😔

What an utterly beautiful song. Xx

As per previous comments just in awe of the beauty and talent of this guy what a tragedy he died we need poetry and beauty like his rip Clifford

Ah what a lovely guy, so sad. Would love to hear him today. Ahead of his time I’ll say no more......🙏

A proper singer songwriter beautiful lyrics

This guy was just a genius and a legend. Took too soon. My cousin introduced me to his music years ago. Sadly she passed away. Still listen to his lovely Ballard's and songs. 👍:-)

So moving CTW songs ...truly a one off!!!

My Mums favourite song always makes me cry 😢❤

Cliffordwas extremely popular in Ireland, especially with his song Gaye¨¨. however I find this song to be truly brillent

Wonderful talented musician. Never tire of playing his beautiful songs .

Uma canção linda e nostálgica de um grande escritor de canções. Um tema e uma voz que nos enche a Alma.

Somehow Mr Ward managed to capture a quality in his music which seems so immediately identifiably "English", a blend of poetry and music which is utterly unique. And yes, we really do miss you.....
