My Steph was only 16 when I fell in love with her. She passed away when she was 42. Now, 25 years later I am still in love with her and always will be. I have only 1 tattoo in her memory as where ever I go she goes with me, forever..

@@philpants44 Well it is a song about how a man loved a woman and not how a man loved his daughter no? I don't understand all this where people miss-represent totally the meaning of a song. If this guy is singing this to his daughter maybe he needs some help or reporting to the police. I will probably go to the police tomorrow to report this myself and get the guy in question locked up for 5 years and on the sex offenders register for the rest of his life. Nothing less than he deserves and it will be all his daughters doing.. I hope she can recover from he abuse he inflicted on her although she seems to be in denial, her father is a pervert...

The Irish touch your heart with music. We would drive around listening to this and he would tell me this is your mother’s song. I miss you daddy. May god bless the Irish.

I knew this back in the day, as a kid. My mother loved it as did my grandfather (a Maloney, Irish heritage, who fought in WW2 and never spoke of it, yet this brought him to tears). He died in 1987. This album reached through my entire family and remains with me til this day. I am passing it on to my daughter, who is ten. Great music is timeless. And this deserves to be remembered forever. Please share this with your kin.
