Eveytime i watch this video,or hear this song, I cry. It is so beautiful. It is just how my life married to my husband of 57 yrs. was. In looking back, as hard as it was in the beginning, I would do it all over again. We were very young, and struggled financially. We managed to move past that, after yeas of struggling, and were still in love. He passed away 4 yrs ago, and I would do it all over again.

The r&r hof was formed in 1983. They should have inducted all those prior r&r stars immediately over the course of a few months. They’ve really embarrassed themselves with all the stars they’ve omitted.

You are absolutely right I did not know he was not in the Hall of Fame. Also Johnny Maestro one of the greatest voices that ever lived also should be with him and rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame. It's a shame.

Reminds me of my mum and dad every time I hear this masterpiece. They started out penniless in the 60's with a baby, worked so hard and ended up with millions. But I can't help feeling they were happiest back then. But they're not, in reality. My dad reached retirement to enjoy his wealth from hard work and long hours, but sadly passed away too soon. So this song I dedicate to his memory. ☹️

I have always loved this song initially as a musician because of its structure and chord sequence, but as a middle aged man I now appreciate the message of the lyrics....a man who has achieved everything he aspired to in his youth, but realising it wasn't all it was cracked up to be and hungers for the simpler years of his youth....it's a lesson for us all
