HONEY (Lyrics) - BOBBY GOLDSBORO

About the artist and the song:
Bobby Goldsboro (born January 18, 1941)[2] is an American country and pop singer-songwriter. He had a string of pop and country hits in the 1960s and 1970s, including his signature No. 1 hit "Honey," which sold over one million copies in the United States.
"Honey," also known as "Honey (I Miss You)," is a song written by Bobby Russell. He first produced it with former Kingston Trio member Bob Shane. Then he gave it to Bobby Goldsboro who recorded it for his tenth album Honey.
The song was released as a single in the U.S. in 1968 and spent five weeks at #1 the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, from April 7 to May 11 (the 200th song to do so), and three weeks atop Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart. It was preceded on the Billboard Hot 100 by "(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding and was followed by Archie Bell & the Drells' "Tighten Up." It was Goldsboro's only #1 hit on the Pop Singles and Country Singles charts and it was his first song to top the Adult Contemporary chart. "Honey" reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart and a re-release of the single in England in 1975 (see 1975 in music) reached #2 again. In Australia, it spent four weeks at #1 on the ARIA Charts, replacing The Beatles' "Lady Madonna", and was the #6 song of 1968.

My wife, soulmate, best friend, and the LOVE of my life passed away September 29, 1973. She drowned in the Atlantic Ocean in Wilmington, NC. I pray when I pass away I'll see her in Heaven. It's been a long time. This year it will have been 50 years ago she passed away. Even today I still shed tears because she passed away. We both were very young. I still love her very much.
She is waiting for you in Heaven James, You will be with her for eternity one day my friend, from Carlo in Manchester, England 🏴 🙏🕊️.
🙏😢
❤️🔥💯

My mom used to listen to a 70s CD she had with us in the car a lot. This song was on there. I lost her to cancer 14 years ago when I was 14. My dad listened to it with me after she passed. I lost him 4 months ago to cancer as well. I miss my mom and dad every single day and words could not describe it. This song never fails to make me cry, even as I’m typing. Love your loved ones as hard as you can while you have them ❤
I can now understand this song. My beloved wife of 50 years passed away six months ago. I am in an empty house. Playing this song hits me like a sledgehammer.
🫂
🎉
I'm so sorry for your loss. Just keep your faith and you'll be with her again someday. God bless you sir.

I lost my mother too two years ago. I had a dreamed with her in my dream last night. She did not like some of clothes.
Lost my wife recently after 47 years. This song brings me to tears. I love and miss her so much. God’s grace and mercy keeps me going.
So sorry for the loss of your wife, seems these days death touches each and everyone of us in some way. ❤🙏🙏
❤
I totally understand. Only those who have gone through such loss can relate.
I'm sorry
So sorry for your loss Am here for hugs xxxxxx
This was one of my mom's favorite songs. I've requested to play it at her funeral next week. I never expected to lose my mom at 18. She passed away from pancreatic cancer on Thursday. God I miss you so much mommy but I hope you are walking with angels. You don't deserve any less.
Alexis Susanne Hogan-Hobson I'm sorry for your loss. Allow your memories of her love, her loving spirit to guide you and comfort you in times of trouble. She will send you signs now and then that she's not really gone, just "up above" watching out for you. Always. Let HER love flow your hands, words, and heart Alexis.
Wade Nelson thank you.
Alexis my mom also died of pancreatic cancer it will be 4 years this Christmas eve and I loved her so... this song also reminds me of her. God bless you and keep you.
Alexis Susanne Hogan-Hobson
Alexis Susanne Hogan-Hobson I am so sorry about your mother. Lost my dad the same way, but he was almost ninety. I have no words that would offer adequate comfort.
My mother used to listen to this song, she told me it reminded her of her brother who passed away. Fast forward 34 years later, I listen to this song and think of my mother, who passed away on Valentines day 1990. I love Mom and still think of you.
My son just passed. He suffered twenty years with cancer. No parent should out live their child. I am living twenty years longer than my son. May he be in heaven with Jesus. Jesus promises, ,no more tears, no more pain, no more sorrows. Rest in peace my beloved son. Your mom loves you and we will reunite someday.
Sooo very sorry!
Mary de Pasquale asi sera, las promesas de Jehova Dios son fidedignas ! Así que sin duda estarás con tu amado hijo! Es la promesa de Jehova Dios!
So sad
I’m so sorry😢 I lost my youngest son to cancer 22 yrs ago and my oldest son 3 yrs ago to COVID. The pain never leaves a parent that loses a child. My heart is with you
Just beautiful, those were the days when song writers wrote 3 minute songs that told stories that would take others 200 pages to write!
Truth!..and they capture every emotion!
I lost my beloved better-half 11 years ago and only able to hear this beautiful music and so grateful to listen to it everytime.
I hesitated to listen to this song, I recently lost my wife of 57 years and this really hits close to home. I will always love her and I miss her so.
Don, I'm so sorry for your loss. God bless your wife's soul and may you both be reunited in paradise.
Soo sorry for your loss Don......what beautiful memories you have to cherish.
Sorry for your lost .. all the memories you guys shared together and her smile will always bring you peace. In sure somewhere she is looking and thinking of you too
Don, I know what you mean. This song reminds me of my little sister that passed away when she five before her sixth birthday. I was eleven. I like listening to our favorite songs. It brings back so many sweet memories. Condolences on your loss.
I lost my son and x-mas really kills me. :'( \
You can’t listen to this and not have a tear in your eye.
My fiancé died In 2019 and I listen to this to remind me of her . I truly miss her , my mom passed 6 months before fiancé did and it’s been extremely hard ever since . I’ve pretty much done with love.I’m just existing to the best of my ability.
Being only 19 years old now, I didn't know about this song growing up. The first time I heard it was in the car with my then 58 year old dad in early 2010. My mom had passed away in September 2009 from kidney failure. When it came on the radio, he told me that she used to love this song, while he used to think it was lame, given he was just a wannabe macho high school boy when it came out. Listening to it with him, I realized that Honey sounded exactly like my mom, who was a very emotional person. I think he got the picture. He was in tears by the end of the song. I finally realized what it really meant. Before they were my parents, they were just a young couple in love. Married over 30 years, he had just lost his long time sweetheart. And now I get a chill down my spine whenever I hear this song.
That's a precious story....
You have incredible emotions and understanding for your age. God bless you.
Like your story... From philippines
This song has a SPECIAL MEANING to me, I will just listen to this song and go back in time
I love reading story of real life, everybody has story to tell. The reasons God wanted us to experience real life, real love. Love is Life ; as God Is Love!
My husband went to heaven last spring, Easter to be exact. I truly love this song
Hello Carol, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Mum loved this song...timeless and heart breaking.. she is in heaven now with Dad listening...over 50 years old but, still beautiful lyrics and Bobby's voice sets off so well.. for those who have lost someone...brings a tear every time...
Just lost my wife of 53 years. Tried to listen to this, but can't. But I remember it from so long ago, great song but you know, a little too sweet at the. time. Fast forward to now and it's like it was written for me. Thank you Bobby, maybe I can listen someday, but not today.
I lost my dear mother and sister in 1968 to a drunk driver. I was only 12.This song still brings tears to my eyes.I t was released shortly after they died. This song always hits my heart when I hear it. Reminds me of losing them both suddenly!

@@garyrafferty7625 Me too. I fight the tears all the time now. Does it ever end?

That Hurts Really😢😢😢
Ok here I am I lost my son in 22 Iam lost
Lost my wife almost 5 years ago and this song continues to make me cry
I know just how you feel and I understand your loss. I lost my wife of 35 years 5 years ago as of December 28th 2022. We were married when we were 19 years old we had known each other since we were 2 years old. We grew up together in every way and I miss her every day. I wish you the best very best.
Thank you Brian Meade
My sympathies Kevin.
Sorry for your loss but believe me you will see her again oneday ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘❤
Myself, mine is 8 months ago.
This song makes me miss my mom, who owned this album. Cant get through it without crying like a baby. Give your mothers a hug for a boy who grew up wishing he had more time with his own mother.
💔😪
Such beautiful words Derek,me too,I feel your pain my friend❤
I know that feeling too well, I miss my ma everyday of my life.
You’re not alone...
I met a beautiful native American gal right before the pandemic. She was thrilled we met and so was I. She worked in a hospital lab. When the virus hit most of the lab staff quit for obvious reasons. She stuck with her job. With the shortage of workers, the hospital scheduled her for more hours. I tried to tell her NOT to work too many overtime but she told me she needed the extra money. She was a single parent. One day I visited her and she was fine. In the back of my mind I was keenly aware of the pandemic and her job as a lab technician and the real possibility of her getting exposed to it. Anyway, I saw her and a week after she told me she was sick. This was in March of 2020. She stayed home and didn't go to work for obvious reasons. Then two weeks went by. She texted me saying she was going to the hospital because she was just too sick. I received about 2 or 3 texts from her while in the hospital. The last text I got from her said, "When is this going to end?!!" I continued to text her despite not getting any replies. Almost 3 weeks went by. I continued to send her encouraging messages. Messages like, I missed you and hope you get well soon and go home. Still no texts til one day in one of my texts I told her, "I'm beginning to believe you may be upset with me because I failed to visit you in the hospital." I added, "I'm sure you're home now recuping and you may have decided I'm not the kind of person you'd want to associate with so I'll wish you a fast and full recovery and the best of luck. Love, M." Well, another week went by and still no answer from her. Then one late afternoon I was driving to another state when I got a call. I answered it and it was a young lady who asked me if I was Mike who "was leaving my mom text messages." I said I was. She told me that her mom had passed from the virus two weeks earlier. My heart broke. I had to pull off the road. I miss her sooooooo much. 💔 x 1000000000000
I lost my wife, soulmate and bestfriend in 09 this song tells the whole story about Her and my love for each other l. Honey I miss you

Me too
Same here.
I don’t know what it is but it’s impossible to listen to without a good cry
the part where "a small cloud passes over head and cries down on the flower bed that Honey loved.." Actually, the poor guy is doing the crying. @@user-xj4jh8ho4x
Me either 😢😢
My dad would become sad when he heard this song, Mom died of cancer in the spring of the 70'.s, I miss her
I lost my dad ur ago I miss him so so much
I am so sorry. Yeah I miss my dad 😢 Why does Love hurt so bad?
God I'm so sorry,I just wanted to play chill out music,
My dad relates this song to how he lost his dad in his late teens
I m sorry to hear that..... keep strongggggg
My daughter Sherry and I used to listen to this song together from the time she was little.She was born in 1970 and died in 2003 at the age of 32.This song reminds me so much of her.
Ruth, So Bad&Sad, I More than understand that This tune is Very Special to You...
Sorry for your loss. My brother and sister in law buried two of their children and I cannot imagine the pain of it. God bless you Ruth.
Take care Ruth, please remember, someone is thInking of you today. xxx GOD BLESS
My dear cousin Rita died of cancer that year as well, she was almost that same age..
L.C.,Ed,Lori, and Mark thank you for understanding,and thanks for the love and caring.
I'm 65 years old now and still listening to the song Honey by Goldsboro I remember when I had a transistor radio in the wintertime and little ear plug in my ear and this song came on for the very first time I have never stopped loving this song it just means so much to me it's the best song I've ever heard I think it's the best thing that's ever been written and the song is entitled honey
Gosh, I'd forgotten about the little ear plug for the transistor radios. I can remember being a kid in the 70's and all the stations were on AM (Oklahoma).
I lost my beloved husband just over a year ago and we both loved this sons our 49 years that God granted to us was just not long enough I’ll forever miss him and he’ll always be my husband my one and only😢😢❤❤
My wife of 53 years loved this song,i had it played at her funeral,and how i miss her is beyond words.It's been nearly 6 years since we layed her to rest in that cold lonesome gravesight.I left her grave with my head in my hands,and left her there with GOD.I still miss her tonight as much as i did that cold day when i left her and her beautiful smile to never return.Love my Barbara Ann.
I hope you are doing ok Freddie. I wish you the best.
I lost my Barbara Ann almost 5 years and I know what lonesome is. We were married 54 years and it was still not enough time.
I just buried my husband of 55 years last month. I know that feeling and I expect I will feel the same every day for the rest of my life. God Bless you, she will be waiting for you when you get there!
I know ur feelings bro
No evangelho de João capítulo 5:28,29 Jesus promete que veremos nossos ente queridos que adormeceram na morte, e apocalipse 21:3,4 diz que poderemos viver para sempre num paraíso na terra sem o sofrimento que afligem a todos no mundo de hoje. Salmo: 37:9,10
Dear Kathy you still hold a special place in my heart. It's been 50 years and I still can see your smile and hear your laugh
I lost the love of my life 40 years ago I love him as much now as I did back then.
I hope you're blessed with a good life filled with love and laughter.
@@lamimi1959 I have had a good life. The good Lord has blessed me with a good wife, 2 beautiful girls, and 3 wonderful grandchildren.

Such a simple song initially about young love but such a powerful message about a love lost. Truly one of the best songs ever composed.
I agree With you.
I will see this song to my youtube its good
Sooooo true
I can relate..my husband passed away 6 months ago...he used to watch and listen to this song via yt almost everyday..I even told him he must have memorized the song...I’m in tears when listening to this song😢
My mother's name was Honey. She left a month ago. Indeed, she was the sweetest... I miss her terribly.
At least in death you know they didn't walk out on you and your children because she was "UNHAPPY". Time eases the pain, but the scar remains forever. More for your children than yourself. God's grace abides and life goes on.
hugs and kisses to from me my Mamas song.. beautiful song of love from our Angels
Condolence
condolence bro.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm not even married or in a relationship, but this song hurts so deeply all the same.

So sorry. We have all been thru it many times linda

This song always make me cry a little bit,a sad but happy cry. A timeless classic. It will never get old.
In 69 I played this song in a band. And I didn't know what he would mean to me today. I've been living with my honey for almost 40 years and this song tells me, I know I couldn't bear to lose her
I lost my Honey 6 months ago and she was everything I ever had that meant everything to me. She was truly the love of my life! And I miss her so! Life is a gift from God. I cherish the time that we shared together if only I could turn back time.
I feel you💕
Sorry for your loss
I sang this song to my wife, Annie, after we'd just met. Don't know why... Well, she'd keep asking me over the years to sing it to her and I kept telling her "no..it's too damned sad". As her health spiraled downward over time, she kept asking and asking. The response was "NO !!" Then one night in hospice "...while we were there and all alone, the angels came. Now all I have are memories of Annie and I wake up nights and call her name. Now my life IS an empty stage where Annie lived and Annie played and love grew up". And Annie I miss you, and I'm being good, and I want to be with you...if only I could. All my love through eternity honey...
G the in please😎
I know she probably loved this song, I do to.
God bless you.
You makes me cry. Sorry for your loss
I think this is the first time as a Man, a text brought tears to my soul.
This was my Dad's favourite song, he often listened to it with a tear in his eye. R.I.P Dad...God bless ♥️
I am 60 years old and from Switzerland (Lucerne). I heard this song from Bobby Goldsboro for the first time in 1969 and I still like to listen to it, a great classic. I still like to listen to the music of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. Dennis Herger
My husband passed away almost ten years never got over it,thank to my grand children they gave me a new lease in life
I loved this song years ago and it still brings tears to my eyes today. I was 15yrs old when mum passed with a brain tumor at 37yrs old my life was turned upside down. Am now 61yrs old. Still miss her every day. It was such a young age to go. This songs for you mum. X
I'm so sorry you lost your mother. She left much too early in life. I lost my husband at 31 years old. Our sons do not remember him due to their being so young at the time. Be thankful you have your memories.
Sorry Mick L and Mimi , Sorry for both you and yours..to loose parent at tender age such a painful ...Take care both I send you warmth prayers for peace to ur loved ones....pls try Yoga breathing techniques followed by meditation ..once u get certain depth in meditation you can sense many subtle things and connect with past souls too...my own experience...take care sorry for unsolicited advice but I couldn't stop myself having sufferred
This song came out in 1968, I was 13. I bought the 45, I cried then, I sang it often & it still makes me cry today

@@annettewheeler8268 hurt to know someone will go away and will never come back.
@@julianmalijan5158 yes
One of my favorite songs ever. Reminds me of a young girl barely in her teens chasing fireflies,sitting on my front porch singing and hanging out with friends at the street light every night and happy, not a care in the world, only joy. I've give anything if I could go back to those days. Best days of my life, only I couldn't see it then. Well, I see it now. I was in such a hurry to grow up but time changes everything, especially our journey in life. Dreams fell by the wayside and its been a long journey but I keep going.But Honey will always be a very special song to me because it reminds me of how happy my life once was.If I could have one wish come true, I'd be that young girl again but I'd done alot of things different...if only I could.
Thank you Janet. Your words took me back too , to so many young , happy and carefree times filled with joyful love 🤗🙏.

Komodo song
My sympathies friend.
Sorry apatriotone. Hope your life has gotten better. Time doesn't heal old wounds. Life is cruel, and me being a man, I'm supposed to take loss, with a punch on the chin and just get on with life....Being a man can really suck.....
My thoughts are with you sir. I cannot imagine how you feel. 😢
This is a great song. It takes on a greater significance to me because I lost my wife a couple of months ago.
I feel your pain. My wife of 16 years passsed away almost 10 months ago from a massive stroke. The stroke happened right in front of me at my house.
My grandma passed away 1 year ago and this song came on and my grandpa started to cry and we all did. But it’s crazy how one death can change your whole life like my grandpa is now living in assistant living. Just spend time with your family and have the the lord in your heart.
I dedicated this song to my oldest sister, she passed away suddenly fourteen years ago...... I still cry when I hear it. She had loved it so much.
Hello Sharon, how are you doing?
RIP stay strong ....God bless her

Thank you for for understanding and your kind words. ✋
Thank you.
Over seventeen million of us have listened to this sad song and yet, what is even sadder, is generations of kids who came after us, have never heard of Honey, I Miss You.
This is one of the best and beautiful songs of all time.
I planted a small tree in my mam's garden this summer. Mam is nearing the end of her life. No longer able to tend to her beloved garden, I found the tree still in it's pot, looking forlorn. Whilst visiting and helping to tend her garden I found it and planted it with loving care. I thought of this song. Love you mam.💕
My parents are both turning 90 this year. I know how you feel
I am so sorry.
This song honey ddecated to my Boom panis tropa,love you all,
My Mother is 86 now so I know the feeling of losing her a little bit more every day.
A Marine isn't supposed to cry, right? I cry every time I hear this beautiful but sad song.
Not just you John.
I do to . Semper Fi Brother
Marines are hard core but we have a heart.
I lost my wife my love in March 1973. This song portrayed our life including the puppy. I dream of her always but even better we had a daughter (Noelle/ now 50) that reminds me of Beth every time I see her. 🥰

True I'm dying tonight 😢
Everything is perfect in this song. The arrangement, the backing vocals...and Bobby Goldsboro' s voice.
So true, there should be more like this one.
Really?
Except the ending. It was too rushed.
What a tear-jerker. Anyone who is not moved by this gorgeous song doesn't know what emotion is! A true classic.
I so totally agree. :'(

I'm not going to touch this comment while it still has 69 likes. Lol.
1408alan this spng is absolutely beautiful. It just tore my heart out. I can't st crying. I don't know if i will ever stop crying!!!
You are so right and im only 12 i feel it 😭
This must bring a tear to so many who have lost someone they loved
This song has made me cry ever since my West Highland Terrier, Fluffy, died giving birth. It's been on my watch/listen later list for months due to that. As a child, I substituted Fluffy for Honey, & there really was a flower-bed that Fluffy dug (loved) in the front yard. I grieved for yrs over that dog, even tho all six pups survived, including Barney, the runt, whom the vet said would die. Barney outlived all his siblings, lived to be 14, he did. There's a giant chamber of sorrow in one, mixed w/happiness, heartache, love, mourning & memories, for everyone & everything we've ever cared for & ultimately lost. Bobby G's music, from the very 1st time I heard it, opened wide that chamber, more often than not leaving me bawling like a babe over passed pets, family, friends, projects, et al, including Goldsboro's poor ol' "Snuffy, the Elf who Saved Christmas." If u don't recall, Santa was sending Snuff to the Old Elves' Home cuz his increasing age had slowed him down, often interfering w/the faster, younger elves' work. Snuff felt he still had more to offer, & didn't appreciate being thrown away after a lifetime's svc to Santa's cause. At 57, I still cry for Bambi & Dumbo. Other songs strike that nerve, too, but none so thoroughly & consistently as, "Honey." I may still have the single I bought while grade-school-age shelved dnstrs. Hope so.
I swear to God this reminds me of my Mother. She is gone now. I can't but think of her. I was nine years old when she died. I have always loved this song. Every time I hear it, I think of her. I will always miss her and cry tears remembering her laughter and joy. She was only 32 when she died. She was murdered and her life was taken and yet, I still sit up and call her name. I cry for her love, the memories lost, I cry out to her. She was beautiful and lost before her time. This song sums it up. I love you Mom. I dedicate this song to you....Mom
Sharon Brown so sorry for all your time missed with your mom. It's wonderful that you still remember her laugh and have those memories. It's very hard to lose someone we love and sometimes I don't think we ever really get over it. I lost my mom 4 years ago and miss her terribly. I think they are watching over us and I think she is very proud of the woman you are today. Good luck and God bless you.
some times sad songs are cool Sharon. stay happy :)
Bless you sharon,you will see her again some day ,love has no boundaries.
Sharon Brown Am sorry to hear that it's very sad .
God bless you boy

So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song. Hello
I lost my husband when he was 45.. And this song make me cry. Just missing u honey. And i am being good
That was a year ago. How about now?
Sorry for your loss Leonor. Time doesn't heal all wounds, but memories grow do fonder. Bless You
Don't know how old you are, Leonor, sounds like you are still a young woman, let me tell you something, loneness is a killer of life, find someone, and be happy and good.
If only i could
If only i could
When I heard this song as a young child, I’d cry. Every. Single. Time.
Number one on the day I was born. My favorite song since I first heard it... didn't find out about it being Number One until forty years later.
Me too. And I’m 64 now.
I'm now 60 and still tear up every time I hear this song
I still do, and I'm 64
This song was played at my dear friend Rowena who died in November 2021 she was 68 and had Alzheimer’s which my dad died of in December of 1991 And the best teacher you could ever have mr John Cawley who helped me with my dad as I was a young boy. He is my Hero. But I worked with Rowena and we stayed as friends for over 20 years she was an amazing lady and I miss her so dearly. Her husband Kieth who was married to her for 57 years is devastated. Alzheimer’s is a horrible disease 🦠 and watching the long goodbye is so painful to see what was once a fit and well and then to see them dwindling away day by day breaks my heart ♥️ they may not remember you but you remember them and that all that matters.
12 years ago I lost my wife. This song gets to me every time
A heartwarming song for widower!
I'm so sorry for your loss.

I lost my dad yesterday and this was one of his favourite songs! 💔
So very sorry. Lost mine in 2019 my prayers are with you
So sorry, but he is with you..
Sorry man ,I lost both my parents in 97. And it still hurts to this day...
It's 2023 and this song is still on my playlist. I love this song. I love that voice, it's amazing....
Me too!
Hello Zuzanna, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
This song reminds me of my grandfather and grandmother until I was diagnosed with the deadliest disease in rheumatology. Now it's me and my husband. We don't know when I'll go but he's been with me every second and day of this painful disease plus more. I love you bubby.
Be strong & great full for having someone by your side who loves you. May God keep you
This song is so sad even just reading your comments is bringing the tears
while I am moved by the sad comments about lost loved ones, I feel the song is so sappy,it kind of turns into self parody.
I hear ya...😢
true 😭
My dad use to listen to this very when my mother died. I will never forget that look on his face when he would hear this song. Life can be so cold sometimes.... But now they are together... thanks Bobby. You make dreams come true for those lost in this world
Asking sa akin huli na naiwan ko tapos babalit pa la ako sa kanya oh honey I miss you
Indeed it is poignant and heart wrenching..songs when I was a young girl
Oh my love i miss you
😭😭 YES, TOGETHER FOR EVER.
My mother played this song over and over when I was 4 or 5 years old. I would twirl and pretend I was one of the angels. I shared it with my husband. Once I got cancer he never let me play it around him again
It reminds me of someone
Simple Music can make you sing. a Simple hug can make you feel better, Simple things can make you happy, i hope my Simple Hello makes you smile..
My mother passed away on the 09/04/2024, She was nearly 97 Years old. But in good health condition. She didn't know this Song, as She never moved tò U.K. as i have done several times since 1967- 1968nowdays ..THANKS MOM for All you have for me since i was Born in 1950🇮🇹❤️💜📀🌹🌺🌷🥰
I lost my oldest grandchild in June 2018 - he was just 21 yo. 20 months later (March 2020), I lost my youngest grandchild (his brother) at birth....my daughter has never been the same. My heart breaks for her, and I try to cope with my own grief - it never leaves 😪😪

I lost my wife 6 months ago after 53 years together. This song has so many parallels of our life. I remember surprising her with a puppy. 😢
Omg, how sad!! ❤
This was the first 45 record that I bought with money I earned from babysitting. I took it home and played it over and over and over. My mom never complained. I'm 64 now. Still love the song.
Simple Music can make you sing. a Simple hug can make you feel better, Simple things can make you happy, i hope my Simple Hello makes you smile..

@@anthonybradford194 I am doing great hope you are to.
@@cooldog60 Yeah I'm fine and am glad you are too. So are you male or female?
The first time I heard this song as a child I cried,I'm now 63,it still makes me cry as now I've live both parents 2brothers, and only a brother that I follow and myself are left. Brings back memories.
My earliest memory of this song was when they played it at my mums funeral when I was 4. Still can’t listen to it without bawling my eyes out
My mom passed when I was 7 and this song was #1 that year so I always think about her when I hear it.
Awwwww I’m so very sorry.....
wayne, my heartfelt sympathies on losing your mum at age 4 !!! she is still with you daily; continue talking to her daily. betty gordon, ames, iowa
@@puggedpoetry129 my heartfelt sympathies on losing your mum at age 7 !!! she is still with you daily; continue talking to her daily. betty gordon, ames, iowa
Now I'm crying harder to loose your mom at four..I will not say get over it will always be a part of you..
My mum had been suffering from mental health issues since 1982 i was only 5. . . When she was well my dad would play this for her on his record player as it was her favorite. . It would bring tears to her eyes and now it brings tears to my eyes as she passed in 2019 . . I loved her so much . God bless you so much mum.
I was 11 years old when I 1st heard this. Now I'm 65 and still listen to this often. Thanks for the memories
Prelepa pesma ?
Missing my Mom. I own the ghost town where i grew up. The trees my Mom planted before i was born, memories of her are everywhere, mostly in my heart. 😢 ouch.. 😢
My late, older sister, planted a twig in front of the house where I grew up. Dad just smiled. It grew to be the most beautiful Mountain Ash. Perhaps I'll go plant a twig in my yard now (well, in the Spring) and see if those Above will help it grow...
What a beautiful bunch of memories your mom must’ve left for you... 💖💖
BEAUTIFUL !!!!
I lost my wife of seventy years two weeks ago. We loved this song
Shane wow! That a long time to share a life with someone . That is commitment ! You must have been a mere pup when you started dating. Sweet memories!
I am so sorry.
Wow God with u Hugs prayers blessing
Sorry for loss
S. A. Z. Me too.
This song always brings a tear as it always reminds me of the love I've lost. She's been gone a little over 8 years yet it seems like it was this mornimg.
🙏🙏🙏
Ditto
Lost my love in 1983. Still hurts.
I just looked this up after watching Lawrence Welk. Yep, I grew up listening and learning the 40s 50s 60s 70s songs from mom who now has advanced Alzheimers and Dad is gone. I'll be 60 this year, and funnily I had a crush on Bobby Goldsboro, but more than that, I learned about love and empathy from mom n dad way back when Honey made me choke up as a very young girl.
Simple Music can make you sing. a Simple hug can make you feel better, Simple things can make you happy, i hope my Simple Hello makes you smile..
Hello Teresa, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Back when songs were about life and reality. We grew up with them and in time, find comfort in the words. We are lucky to have lived when we did.
Just because you’re still living in your past reality, George, doesn’t mean today’s music doesn’t deal with today’s life and reality.
Amen brother
@@jimreadey4837 In my opinion it doesn't. Today's music isn't music for the soul or heart.This song means a lot to me too. You can call it living in the past or wharever. but one thing is certain. I played out late at night, I chased fireflies at night and could walk alone anywhere without being afraid of being kidnapped or shot. We never had to lock our doors. My mama and daddy were textile workers. We weren't poor and we weren't rich but we had real childhoods and teenage yrs . and we had love. My sister and I would sit on the front porch in rocking chairs , play records and sing our hearts out. Song's like " Honey " was a story telling song , as were many. .If life had a rewind button...I'd hit it hard. I'd go back to my childhood until a teenager of 14 yes old. Life was simple then ..Running, laughing, dancin, skating and we all ate meals together as a family. So I'll keep listening to Honey and many others because they remind me of things and times I wouldn't have wanted to miss for anything. Yes, life was precious then.
@@janetbrowntlc, just because you enjoy remembering your early years, and selected (though, certainly, not all) music from that time, doesn’t mean today’s music doesn’t deal with today’s life and reality. I never implied that today’s music lifts the heart or feeds the soul... only that it reflects the time we live in. I think your issue is that you don’t like the times you’re living in.
@@jimreadey4837 FYI , I know every song from that era . What you can't comprehend is life was so much simpler then for everyone. The dancing was classy not trashy.The music wasn't spitting out curse words..half naked. The music told stories. I was raised on Cash and Elvis but I love all oldies music including but not limited to ,Paul Anka, Jimmy Clanton, Procal Harum, Percy Sledge and Johnny Rivers,etc and music from the 80s.As for my life I have a very nice Apt.in town and a beautiful house on the lake. I drive my truck or my Jeep but I'd give everything I own to go back to that simple life for just an hour to see my mama , daddy and brother again . Nothing wrong with reminiscing about how simple life was back then. I know things change, I'm no idiot, but for the better..hell no ! Some people now days don't have a place to lay their head or food to eat unless they're someone with 15 baby daddy's. I worked all of my life but I got it backward. I should have walked the streets with a sign on my back..with the words "curb service".Most people have been more in reverse than I have forward but that's another show all together ( if you get my drift) I'm honest to a fault.America is in the worst shape it's ever been in. We're snowballig to hell...eyes wide open ! So yeah it makes me feel good to remember when life was simple and music was music. People need to start looking up to the one who's looking down.God help us all.🇵🇷 🙏
I learned on my own that my ex wife passed away this song brings back the fond memories when were together regardless of the fallouts and misunderstandings tina marie james may you rest in peace!
sorry
Like the way this song goes round and round so does my grief. I lost my wife almost 2 years ago and the wonderful times we had never stop playing in my head, but with those memories comes endless sorrow and sense of loss. Grief is the price we pay for love. I miss you my darling wife....so very much. Rest In Peace.
I'm 72 and I could never listen to this song it broke my heart. Now it is even more sad my wife of 48 years passed in the spring just like in the song and she was my life I'm waiting like the song says and being good.
Hello Dale, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
I'm 55 I lost my wife at 43 we were married 27 years and didn't like my music but she used to listen. They were the good days
Shortly after hearing of my youngest daughter's death, I went to my room to lay down. Music was on the Roku. This song came on...it really meant a lot to me.
Elaine Rutledge, my heartfelt condolences even though I'm a stranger.💐🐕🐾🐾🐾
My heart goes out to you
Elaine Rutledge --- some songs are written that affect us deep down in our souls this song is one of them. May (God) and Jesus Christ our Lord and savior bless you. Extremely sorry for the lost of your daughter.

Sending lots of love xx
I lost my husband 9 years ago. This song brings back so many memories of two people in love.
Hello So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song.
Hello Lynne, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
A beautiful heart-wrenching song about a love lost. Even if one hasn't experienced it, one can just imagine how it would be...great lyrics to touch the soul.
4 days before my love passed away, he played this song.., but it was he who was sick and he who left me... I was always his honey bunches 💖💖 the girl described in this song is so me, but he’s the one who’s gone... 💔💔
Hello Rhondy, how are you doing?
Simple Music can make you sing. a Simple hug can make you feel better, Simple things can make you happy, i hope my Simple Hello makes you smile..
I'm so so very sorry for your loss, I also lost my love just 17 days before our wedding day, it was a hit-and-run, we were preparing this wedding day saving all the money and looking for every detail we could to make things perfect for that day, we did it for almost 2 years and only 17 days before it went to heaven, instead of a wedding we had a funeral, both our families are destroy by this, we were preparing ourselves to be married for the rest of our lifes but instead I had to prepare myself to live without it, I don't think I will recuperate from this one, I'm not a kid anymore, it's too late for me now, it was my last chance and I lost it, I know I will be alone and lonely forever but it wasn't meant to be, it was in my destiny, now I know how it feels to lose someone dear forever physically but not in my mind, what hurts the most is that I didn't get the chance to say goodbye, I'm so sorry baby, I miss you constantly and always will. To the person or persons who did this to us goes this message, how can you live with what you've done, don't be a coward, you have no idea the magnitude of your crime and our sorrow, I'm not seeking for revenge I'm just seeking for justice and at least tell us that you are sorry even if it's a lie, I like that turn your self in and see you paying for what you did to us, and that is all, God be with us, missing you, your sweet face, your eyes, your smile, your kindness, I really do, sorry my love, I'll see you one day again, that I promise
I've listened to this song since I was a little girl. I'm 21 now. My grandma always use to play this. I know Every single world. She's still here with me and I'm so blessed for her presence but I always dedicated this song to her. Because her brother use to sing this to her before he passed away.. It's just a song that has a lot of meaning in our family ❤
Can't hold back my tears listening to this song... it remind me of my cute eldest daughter who died at six due to fire accident...i'm sure she is now happy with the angels in heaven..Hazel Jane i miss you..how i'd love to with if only i could...
sin duda entre las veinte baladas mas exquisitas yexcelsas tanto por su letra y mensaje como por su ritmo y musicalidad ,inmortal sin duda!!!!!!
Lost my husband Stan on January 16, 2022...I know he is in heaven but I miss him so much. Never felt so loved. Thank you Stan for those 23 beautiful years. I miss you honey more than I 've missed anyone in my life. So thankful we will meet again. Enjoy that beauty. So thankful you can see perfectly now. ♡♡
This is one of those few sad songs that isn't corny or sappy. I still enjoy listening to it.
Love this song but it brings tears in my eyes all the time. I lost my son when he was just turning 3. Even its many years ago I will never forget and I miss him every Day.
The pain of losing a child never goes away, but God…… He gives us Grace to get through. I’m sorry for your loss 🤗
Bless you Ma’am…I understand your never ending journey and pain. I lost my adored 20 year old son, Kyle 5 years ago and I know that I have a lifetime to go on this journey no one wants to walk. Our boys are with God, we will see them again-sending love & understanding❤
So sad....really sorry....God bless you...
