My grandmother "MawMaw Joyce" loved this song. She died almost two years ago and it still hurts me to be living in this world without her. I was her first grandchild so we had a special bond and a very close relationship. I always knew she loved this song. Cherish your parents and grandparents while you still can. When they are gone you will miss them more than any words could express.

There's no comparison between the classic country and the newer country. Back then, the music was just exceptional. This song is an example of how perfect and timeless it truly was. Thanks for sharing.

I'm 16, and with all the crap music being produced today, I'm extremely grateful that my dad made us grow up with music like this, and his favorite, Johnny Cash. I'll always love these old classics better than today's music.

Cried many tears to this song back in 1957, my husband of six months got drafted into the army.Brings back great memories . We were together for 37 years when God decided he needed him more than me. He has been gone for 25 years and I miss him as much now as I did the day he died

I know how you feel Judith...we had just gotten married when this song came out and it was our song until the day he died...10 years ago. He sang country music himself (very good, use to have his own show on radio) and when I hear it I cry too. God Bless them both.

So many memories of youth and family are connected to this song....my mom had this single and whenever she played it I reacted in a big way for a small child. I didn't know what Country music was and I thought all music was music. Radio was like that back then, plenty of room for all kinds of styles.

Although, this was a Country and Western Song it was one of the select records that got air play on many of the radio stations in the New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia area. Even to the City people on the East Coast this song along with Marty Robins "White Sports Coat and a Pink Carnation" were popular. At that time Rock&Roll was a combination of music; Pop, Spiritual,DooWop,Blues, and Country. Anyone of them could be a hit. Ron--Highway Stars Magazine
