I've always been a big fan of Karla...I think she is one of the most under rated artists in our generation. She has a beautiful soothing voice.

I’m 70 years old, former Hippie, Listening to Karla is making me go back to the good old days. Thank you Karla!

I thought I was a tough guy...until I heard this tune and played it after one of my dogs passed. Still makes me cry....truly an angelic work

I lost my dog, my best friend, in June, and this song breaks my heart. So beautiful and so true. Thank you Karla for this song.

Love this wonderful person. When I’m having a bad day, I turn to Karla and my trials melt away.

I found a kitten under a car at a mall in Denton, Texas in 1981. I was leaving the mall and two girls were trying to coax the kitten out from under the car, but she wouldn't come. I got under the car and she came right to me. I put her in my car and called my mother, who was the VP of the Humane Society. She said..."get a litter box and some kitten food. You need some responsibility. " I named her "Critter." She lived to be 25 years old. She was with me through 2 marriages, and drug addiction. Her kidneys failed toward the end, and I kept her on fluids around the clock at the vet, but she never recovered. I took her home and she couldn't stand. The next day I went to the vet and they put her to sleep in my arms. I have never cried like I did that day.

Reading that Karla wrote it for her cat made it easier, but still the most heart wrenching song ever written. Sad but so beautiful you can't not listen to it over and over.

Love this so much. A tribute to all those who've gone to the other side.

I played this at my Dads funeral- it's a beautiful song. Special. Wonderful.

I’m going to see her tomorrow night in Woodstock, NY, and I truly hope she sings this amazingly personal song. It’s my favorite and says exactly how I feel about friends I’ve lost better than I ever could. Sadly, she could dedicate it to all those innocent children who were savagely massacred 2 days ago in Texas.

This always reminded me of my sub Grandma. A black woman to a white boy. She was a real grandmother to me. The love could not have been stronger. This lady laid a plan in front of me that both of my parents, and grandfather agreed with. I hope others find as true a meaning from this song.

It's always reminded me to a very special person. His name was Ayrton Senna who died at the age of 34 after a hard crash in San Marino en died later that evening in Bologna. Goodbye Ayrton...we will always reminded you...

Thank you for posting this. One of my all time favorite song- breaks my heart. The bridge is so wonderful too- "Life's so fragile and love so pure. We can't hold on but we try. We watch how quickly it disappears and we never know why." That kills me.

i share this with anyone who has lost a beloved pet.......or a beloved person......2 or 4 legs

This is the first time I've heard this song and there are tears my eyes already . Karla writes such beautiful songs.

what a beautiful song

a dear friend sent me this upon the death of my german shepherd Jake Alexander who died yesterday- thank you for such beauty in this time of sadness.

This is an absolutely beautiful, poignant song! Sometimes I wish I had married a precious woman like Karla Bonoff because I could listen to her forever!!!! Love, BobbyK I'm also 11 years younger-LOL! You are a precious woman, Karla Bonoff!!! :+)

when my mom died I sang this for her. I love karla bonoff

My best friend died in 1985. I played this sone over and over and have listened to its beauty, sadness, and message ever since.

I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Karla and Nina Berger at the Grey Eagle Music Hall in Asheville, NC recently ...They both were very very down to earth. Just regular folks but with talent :-) And a great sense of humor. Nina did a solo playing the Ukraine National anthem which was truly awesome. And BTW, Karla has a killer smile that will disarm you instantly !!! I really enjoyed their show !!!

I love this song!....and Karla is such a talented singer/songwriter!!!

Thank you Karla for the help in healing my heart.

I love you, Karla. Thank you for such beautiful music!

playing this at my best friend's funeral today....your words say it all... thank you!

Never knew this song existed until I heard it on tick tock such a beautiful song Brings tears to my eyes thinking of my ex probably the best friend I ever had but never got the chance to tell her before she passed

On Linda Ronstandt’s Hasten Down The Wind album there are several of Karla’s songs on it. It’s one of my favorite albums. Linda recorded this one and it is amazing. I don’t know the year she recorded it but it’s on KZfaq and so worth a listen

what a touching song...

Going to see her tomorrow night in Beacon NY!! Such a legend. Helped me feel my way through a few tough years 20 years ago. Now she's coming to my town. Thank you Karla.

For my old friend Renee’ the world is less beautiful with out your smile. Fly with the angels.

when Karla soft voices the phrase "we watch how quickly it disappears and we never know why", my 'manly' personna comes unraveled a bit - get a little misty to think my time with my best friend and pretty lady is getting short.

One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard

Gorgeous.....

This is definitely a tearbraker--I just lost my cat, and this song is a great song to relieve your grief too. I have loved Karla for many years, she's an incredible artist!!!!! XOXOXOXOXOXO

Thanks for saying what I can't write , your voice is pure my doesnt work like that yours it moves me, thanks. We love cats too...........

My pop always played a lot of Karla Bonoff. Tremendous voice.

Quiet beautifull song...!!!!!

Thanks dear Karla for expressing what's in our 💕 hearts.

RIP Moon. You were the best cat ever.

RIP Ruby D- our 14 yr old rescue lab from Smyrna, TN given to us by our daughter Leigh- SHe was my everything---- Let's hope for a better new year- thank you

Deserves many many more views

A Master Piece love it.

Thank you Karla, your my favorite Singer/Song writer. This song makes water pour out of my eyes, thinking about my brother Jerry, too soon departed.

Absolutely beautiful.

Thank you, Karla, for writing and sharing with all of us such a beautiful song. We love you!!

For my dearly missed friend Steve Walker. R.I.P and goodbye my friend. I'll see you on the other side Mann xx.

Beautiful song,nice version this,but love Linda Ronstadts too.

I know that song would be impossible to write unless the composer had experienced the lyrics personally ! To write a sad song you have to suffer sadness ! No one with a charmed life can write about despondency ,sorrow and pain .Mournfully sad and beautiful at the same time .

"Goodbye My Friend" Oh we never know where life will take us I know it's just a ride on the wheel And we never know when death will shake us And we wonder how it will feel So goodbye my friend I know I'll never see you again But the time together through all the years Will take away these tears It's okay now Goodbye my friend I've seen a lot things that make me crazy And I guess I held on to you We could've run away and left well maybe But it wasn't time and we both knew So goodbye my friend I know I'll never see you again But the love you gave me through all the years Will take away these tears I'm okay now Goodbye my friend Life's so fragile and love's so pure We can't hold on but we try We watch how quickly it disappears And we never know why But I'm okay now Goodbye my friend You can go now Goodbye my friend

An amazing song by Karla. Nobody has ever tried it before. The piano and voice blend to perfection. The very Best songs she has done are on the Piano. She makes them one. She is still skilled on Guitar. I find the piano is where she can solo. On Guitar Adding Nina puts it over the top.

We just said goodbye to Watty, our tabby two weeks ago. She was only 9.5 years old. It's hard to say goodbye to love.

Wow I thought I was the only one to think that about this song. I lost my furr baby of 17 years May 2022 and I’m still so sad and miss him badly he was my little constant and best friend too and this song makes me remember him so 😢

Roma......💙💜💕

my best friend died this month. I loved him with all my heart.

Beautifull song.....

学生時代を思い出す。最高やなあ

Fantastisch nummer...

So nice 😘

Linda…

gostei

the song is for Ayrton Senna...

Always have

It was a song about the loss of her dog.

Kudos to Karla for writing such an amazing song. LInda Ronstadt is a better singer, and her version is superior, but this version is still beautiful. How did I not know this song existed until this week! Reminds me of "On a Bus to St. Cloud" by Gretchen Peters, sung by Trisha Yearwood. If one or both of those songs doesn't bring a tear to your eye, well, you are missing out!!!!!
