  Don't play if you don't want to cry. David wrote this 2 weeks after his dad's passing.

  My wife and I lost our youngest son several years ago. He was 27 and died of a heart attack. I was driving down the road several weeks ago and this song come on the radio. I had to pull over quickly as the sorrow that this song evoked just overwhelmed me. I took me almost an hour to stop crying. RIP Colton....miss you buddy.

  One of the most beautiful, heartwretching songs ever recorded. Lovely voice.

  When I first heard this song in high school I thought it was about a lost love. Now as an "oldster" when I listen to this song, I miss my parents.  I will miss them forever.

  You can tell by the look on his face at certain times during the song that it is so personal what he's saying and that it really hits home.

  If you've ever lost a parent, a partner, a lover, or a friend this should mean something to you.

  Such a touching song!  David Gates wrote this song in memory of his father who died in 1963 & never saw the success he achieved with Bread. Love David Gates voice. He has one of the most soothing & mellow voices. They had so many hits such as "Make It With You", "Baby I'm-a Want You", "Lost Without Your Love", "It Don't Matter To Me", "The Guitar Man",  "Sweet Surrender", "Aubrey" etc.

  I just found out a few years ago that this was a tribute to his father.  Changes the listening experience.

  He's giving all his reference to his father... It is so special to have a father in your life.. I was blessed with a wonderful dad...

  I am 61 years old now, and been listening to this song since I was a teen. Makes me cry now, because everytime I hear that chorus "I would give everything I own, give up my life, my heart, my home... just to have you back, again", I think of my dog Max. I'd give all that to have him back, again. <3

  The older I get, the more these songs mean to me. Crying listening to this. The more I experience, the more empathy I have.<br><br>I listen to this and think of my father. I dreamt of him every night for four years after he died.<br><br>My husband lost his first wife and four-year-old son in a traffic accident many years ago and I know what he went through. He tried to bargain with God, &quot;Take me, let them come back.&quot;
