My dad took his own life when I was six. My Uncle, who was only 14, stepped up where no other man in my family did. He was there for me no matter what. He brought me out of my shell as a shy 15 yr old, he encouraged me to get to college and do the one thing I loved, bought me my first beer, took me to my first concert, got me my first job and took me on my first lads holiday. My Uncle Craig loved his music and always dedicated this song to my Dad. He was the only person that ever talked about him fondly. Most don't even mention my Dad's name. Craig did. He was a great man, with a huge heart and beautiful soul. He died two weeks ago quite suddenly and I am heartbroken. But I would not be half the man I am today without Craig. I probably would be living a shit life without his love, protection and teachings. And here I am living a great life with my beautiful wife and daughters. I'm having a rough day today but the emotion and love in this song helps. Until we meet up yonder. Rest in Peace.

Sang this song to my son as he was dying in my arms in the hospital. He had a big old smile on his face. But my blue eyes were a crying. My baby, my beautiful baby.

I love this song the same as I did when I heard it years ago. I'm listening in 2024. Who else is listening now? ❤

My mum had the most beautiful blue eyes. I watched my parents sing and dance to willie my whole life. We played this song at my Mum's funeral . My beautiful Dad sobbed with heartbreak. Four months later he passed away. I take comfort in knowing they " are strolling hand in hand again " . Thank you Willlie xx

Willie is a national treasure and his legacy will never end

Here i sit in 2020 listening to what my parents listened to when i was growing up now realizing how cool my parents really were may they R.I.P.

I'm listening to Willie. Thinking about pops, 13 years since he's been gone on the 24th.and people say if you are black, you don't do country. Hell I was raised on it More type of music we need today

Lost my sister today, a kind gentle soul. That's why I'm here tonight, to ease the pain.

I choked though this song beside my mother when she was dying at hospice, it was one of her favorites. God in miss her, I love you momma. 6/2/47 12/27/23

Arguably, his best song... I've heard other versions by the best in country music but none more real and touching as this is...

I grew up listening to my Mama & Daddy sing this song & I'd sing along. He went to heaven in 2006 & my beautiful little Mama joined him in August 2021. My heart is broken but I know they are praising Jesus & reuniting with each other & our loved ones. I look forward to seeing them again & Jesus! 🙏🏻✝️🕯️🕯️

Listened to his song as soon as I heard my dad died. One of my sweetest memories is my father singing his song when I was a child, telling me about how beautiful it is... And it really is an amazing song, forever with a place in my memory and my heart.

One of the greatest songs of all time.

So simple and so perfect. There will never be another Willie.

I am a widower retired soldier that fought in Iraq I am a. government employee and a man but Willie I have loved you since my late wife introduced you to me and she and I saw you on six different occasions (concerts). That's all I want to say. Thank you Willie, Jimbo Vail

One of the best songs ever written, & I've never heard anyone top Willie's version.

My daughter loved his singing. May she R.I.P. Miss you oh so very much. Love you with all my heart!!

My Mom loved this song. She just passed away on October 17, 2023 she had previously requested Blue eyes crying in the rain, to be played at her funeral, as it was played. 💔

This was the song that made me a huge Willie Nelson fan, way back when I was a young teenager. Red Headed stranger , a great album.

A shout out to all the grandparents out there that guaranteed this song live on through us younger folk. This is and will always be a timeless song, one that i will burn into the brains of my grandchildren as my grampa did unto me.........a song of epic proportions.

No matter you're mood this man can just make everything feel amazing

So much emotion in his version of this song.

This is the last song my husband and I danced to a few days before we divorced. We loved each other, but we couldn't make it work. He passed away several years ago. Neither one of us ever remarried. Thanks for the good memories, Bill. 💙

I've been playing for 3 yrs now, My dad used to play this song when I was a kid, he played it note for note.. Everytime I try to learn how to play it, I start crying lol funny how music and memories melt together.. I miss him so very much.. Hopefully I can hold tears back long enuff to play this for him

I never knew my bio father. My step-father adopted me - he loved Willie. My step father was so mean, and he raised me with fear, not love. He was not a good man in any sense of the word. He died 2 years ago, and when I hear this song I cry - not because I mourn losing him - I cry for missing what was never there, and what should not have been.

EVERYTIME I PLAY THIS SONG .I GET A LUMP IN MY THROUT ,AND A TEAR IN MY EYE .

Heard it during work. Couldn't help but cry. Reminded me of Mom2 ,Joan. The minute she saw my family's stupid way of treating me . Right there she declared herself my Mom2. R.I.P Mom2!!! Miss you,love you. Until we meet again. ❤

Beautiful song sung by one of the world's greatest.

Willie tied a red bandana around my head when I was 2 years old. My idol

I think of my son Jeffery Thomas Hughes ,he's 21 now my only child and he has the bluest eyes you ever seen,I hope we can dance in heaven too this song ,love always mom,dawn.

This was the last song my Mom and I sang together on her dying bed. We sang it note for note and I imagine she used all her energy to sing along with me. The tears were streaming from my eyes as we finished the song and we both said, "I love you" when I had to leave for the day. That was the last time I heard my Mom's voice... as she passed away from complications from Alzheimer's the following day. I had just lost my Dad two years before that to a very aggressive Metastatic Sarcoma Cancer of the arm. The Mayo Clinic doctors said my Mom passed from Alzheimer's, but I know that since my Mom & Dad were High School Sweethearts and had been married 63 years before we lost my Dad... that she died of a broken heart. I write this as today would have been my Mom's 84th Birthday... the first Birthday I must spend without her. And all day today, my blue eyes will be crying in the rain... 😢

Gives a moment of peace like all of Willies movies and songs .I damn sure need those moments of peace.

When I was born and my father first held me,this was the song he sang to me when he saw I had my mother's blue eyes...the first song I ever heard :)

The last 2 songs that Elvis played on his piano the day he died were unchained melody and blue eyes crying in the rain.

There is so much heart in country music if you just look. Sadly today's "bro country" has sucked out that beauty.

Nobody has ever come close to Willie's version of this song.

My Dad loved to sing this song to my Mother... It was perfect for them, because that is the way he felt about her and she had blue eyes... For the 50 some years they were married... I love you Daddy and Mother.. May you RIP... Until we meet up yonder...

This is my favourite version of this song for two reasons. Willie's heartfelt singing and that unique, strident yet soulful notes he produces from Trigger which is such a big part of Willie's music.

I was adopted as a child and grew up waltzing to this with my beautiful elderly mother. Amazing memories, miss her so much. Xx

I saw him a few months ago and it was a great show. 83 and still doing concerts, playing LEAD guitar the WHOLE show, didn't sit down once...he's amazing. I love that guy.

My first husband was an Iranian Jew. He was the only Persian of Azerbaijani ethnicity I ever met who could hang out in Texas kicker bars in the 70's and 80's due to "the hostage crisis" caused by Ayatollah Khomeini. Andrew would sing this song to my Mom in her Austin, Texas kitchen. He loved her chili, her cooking in general. Andrew loved my mother so much she became his Mom in America. From this, he persuaded her to give me to him in arranged, Jewish marriage. This man had a unique, healing effect on my family, both collectively and each member individually. Each and every one of us loved him with a devoted level of admiration. He and several members of his family had worked for Shah and Shabanu up until time of exile to United States. Andy loved America and God with his entire being. He used to tell us things in combination with the western music he loved to sing with his thick, Persian accent. Some of it sounded as if he was giving us faith instructions before some kind of mysterious departure. His version of this song sounded like, "Blue eyes eh-cryeen' in dee rhain..." This made my momma laugh and laugh. Andy died a martyr in DeKalb, Georgia in February of 1995. Much like things he alluded to when talking to us. It was as if he had been trying to prepare us all along... We never got over his passing. None of us. His love and his music was a treasure to me and my entire family. Willie Nelson gave the world a small piece of art with this song.

I’m 36 now but when I was 4 I went to Disney land Florida with my sister for her last wish , before her death of brain tumour my dad got on stage and sang Willie Nelson songs for my sister , even though I was four I remember it like it was yesterday ! Amazing how a song can trigger a memory especially all them years ago

My dad used to sing this song. We would sit on the porch and sing during thunderstorms. Tonight it was raining and I was thinking of him and started crying... my eyes are blue, too. 😢

My dad's favorite song. We had it sung at his funeral four years ago, three days from now.

When lyrics actually used to mean something 😍😍😍

My Dads favorite song,we had played at his funeral, love u dad!!!

The last song Elvis ever sang. He played this on the piano hours before he died😔

I'm a widow this song gives me hope that I will walk with the love of my life once again in the heavens hand in hand thanks willy

sitting at home in the uk 76years listening to willie not ashamed to admit I am crying

Willie has a unique voice And a unique style of playing the guitar. 💕

My Grandfathers favorite song. Poor old country guy. Taught himself to play piano by ear. I remember him playing and singing this every night before bed.

In the twilight glow, I see Blue eyes crying in the rain When we kissed goodbye and parted I knew we'd never meet again Love is like a dyin' ember And only memories remain And through the ages, I'll remember Blue eyes crying in the rain Some day when we meet up yonder We'll stroll hand in hand again In a land that knows no partin' Blue eyes crying in the rain

Watching willie plow the field made me cry. knowing what hard ships people before us had and how we dont respect the past or who made it easy for us......

Rips your heart out and hands it to you. I Never tire of this tune!!!

My beloved dad used to sing dis song and after he passed I somehow came across this song and suddenly dis flashback of dads sweet face and it brought to tears😭

i first started listening to country music and buying country records in the mid 60's but have never found anyone to play guitar like Willie Nelson.

MY HEART IS BROKEN , I AM SO LONELY NOW, AND AM TRYING TO GET THROUGH THIS ONE DAY AT A TIME

I absolutely love this song.

For Mamaw... You've been gone for 45 years, and I still love and miss you as if it were yesterday.

I've read the sad comments about people losing their children or other loved ones and they loved that song. Although my dad always jokingly said that Willie Nelson's voice sounded like cats in heat, dad always had a twinkle in his eye listening to his music anyway. God bless those in these comments who have lost their loved ones xox

Willie Nelson is the best cowboy for ever. He is my favourite singer.

A song about many things. That's what good country is about. Songs we relate to in many ways. Heartfelt *Genie*

I'm a huge Willie Nelson fan and I love this song, it's one of my top 3 Willie songs

I was blessed to see Willy as my first concert, I was just 13 and my parents said come you’ll have fun. Thank god for being brought up by hippies 🙏🏻

My Dad n I have blue eyes. This was one of his favorite songs. In memory of my Dad I love you.

I'm not joking it's only 2 seconds into hearing Willie's voice and I immediately start crying

Such a beautiful song sung by a legend. Grew up listening to only rock but have come to appreciate country. One of the best

Willie was my dads favorite. RIP daddy, this song will always remind me of our fishing trip. Love you always. Ben. Xx

My Mothers favorite song.R,I,P,,Mom.I LOVE YOU.

Oh Lord I miss my family so much. The tears never stop. God bless you all.

Erinnerung: es ist über 40 Jahre her, als ich als Austauschschüler nach Oxford Mississippi kam und dort auf viele Fraternity Brothers (Beta-theta-pi) traf. Es wurden sofort Freundschafen. Als dann ein Gegenbesuch nach Niedersachsen kam, spielten wir Willie im Auto Kassettenrekorder in der Fahrt in den Harz. Ich bewahre die Kassette noch heute. Willie ist neben Cash ein hörendes Denkmal!

Red Headed Stranger probably the greatest country album ever recorded.

Somehow I finally feel what Willie means by " love is like a dying ember".

One of my favorite songs - period. You could feel the sorrow of a lost love in every word and every chord. Thank you Willie Nelson.

I think about this song when I look back at last year sleeping on the grass after moving to Texas with nothing not knowing anyone. With blue eyes crying in the rain I found God on that corner. And I found my home that day in Livingston Texas when I had no place to call my home.

Timeless song by a living legend, and America's favorite outlaw..

How many guitar players in the world, do you recognise, and know who it is playing, after just a couple cords? thank you Willie, for all the great music. and i am not ashamed to say, I LOVE YOU MAN.

This is real country music. It's sad going to school and listening to all these kids think they are country because they listen to Luke Bryan.

I don't know why he omitted the next to last verse, as Fred Rose wrote it: "Now my hair has turned to silver. All my life I've loved in vain. I can see her star in heaven And blue eyes crying in the rain."

One of the most beautiful songs I have heard. Especially the version of Willie Nelson and Shaina Twain. So much of emotions in this song

This has to be one of the best love songs ever written

thank you for this song Mr. Nelson......

I love you Nan, passed today but will never be forgotten. X

I know a lot of your songs because my dad played a lot of them on the guitar for his friends and alone at night at the kitchen table where he did leather work and other art projects. This reminds me of my dad so much. He's a hard core fan..

THIS MAN IS A LEGEND IN ALL MANNERS OF THE WORD !!!!

A true country musician. I wish up and coming country stars could take a lesson from him, Waylon, Hank Sr and Jr--all the greats, and quit spewing out all of this "country pop" crap.

Pay no mind to the negative. This man has brought us so much pleasure with music. Thank you WILLIE NELSON.❤❤❤❤❤

Very possibly the #1 best-ever old cowboy ever sang by any human. The ultimate.

Willie is the Man! How he sings it, is just incredible! Especially in conjunction with the movie clip...wow! Just plays on the heartstrings. And Morgan Fairchild is always smokin' hot. This song is so impacting, and has been delivered so well by several of the greatest. There's a reason why Willie is the Man and Elvis is the King, but if y'all ever get a chance to listen to the late Eva Cassidy sing this... there's a reason why she's The Angel! Have some tissue handy.😉

My Dad and I both have blue eyes. He passed away in March of this year. I was down at my Mom's talking to her and it was like 2 days after he died and I got in my truck to go back home bawling my eyes out and as soon as I got in and turned the radio on the verse "Some day when we meet up younder" come on like he was telling me I'd see him again one day. Still gives me goose bumps to listen to this song! I love you, Dad.

What a beautiful story and a loyalty of unasked kindness. You just don't see that anymore...Thankfully WILLIE NELSON is true blue with stories that have lessons WE ALL JUST HEED LISTENING. MY BLUE EYED MAN FOOLED ME WITH KRINKLES THAT LIT HIS BEAUTIFUL SOUL....I WILL ASK WILLIE'S CROWD....I STILL LOVE THOSE EYES OF TRUE AND BLUE...YOU ARE MISSED AND STILL HERE....FOR RIGHT AH 😇

The more I listen to this song the more I fall in love❤️. I don’t know if Willie Nelson wrote this song but I don’t care. It’s a master piece of artistic expression across a myriad of learned disciplines along with God given natural ability and talent. Long live Willie Nelson🙏

My uncle sang this song for me at my wedding. LOVE, LOVE this song.

This man is a living legend!

My mother played this song for my grandmother as she passed on to the other side. Pancreatic cancer is sick. Song always stick a chord with me and can't get through the intro without crying even after 20 years. Love you grandma and I hope you are proud of me. I will always remember the lessons you taught me at a young age ♥️

I love and miss you so much papaw I remember when you used to sing this to me 💕 I can't wait to see you again 08-14-2014

Willie sure knows how to touch the heart. Great gift he has. Thanks Bro.
