Sugar, your reaction means so much to me. The tree trunk is about 6 ft in diameter now. The house is for sale. Our grand children are adults. To see a young lady with such a sweet heart as you react to the milestones of life is wonderful, I hope you find the young man that you treasure and he treasures you as my wife and I did for the journey.

A widower reminiscing about the love of his life who died too soon. He is still the faithful husband and is being good. The tree she had planted was still a twig. And the flower bed she had loved and use to take care of is still there. She had a great and loving husband. Awesome and emotional reaction to one of the greatest songs of 1968.

It happened to me 15 summers ago, and I'm still shedding tears for the umpteenth quadrillionth time......because that's how many tears there have been. She was an angel.

I haven't heard this song in a long time. Still makes me cry.

I LOVE seeing young people react with such emotion to songs I grew up to. Bobby Goldsboro is a treasure. There is a KZread channel of Bobby Goldsboro’s 13 greatest hits. Well worth a listen! Hugs to the man who requested this!

I’m 62 years old and this song still makes me cry.

I'm not a singer but I have an idea how. You see, I've given eulogies for my mom and brother. And I knew I needed to figure out how to deliver them while keeping my composure (for the record, I broke down when each of them died, in the hospital with mom and on the phone for my brother). Here's how I kept my cool - I told myself that this was their time, their day to honor, and not mine time to draw attention to my feelings; I had plenty of time for that before and after. So I sort of just shut down my emotions while I gave their eulogies. I suspect a singer goes through something of the same when dealing with emotional material such as Honey.

The 1st time he performed it live in 1968 he cried because it was based on a true story

I was a very little boy when I first heard this song. I cried and didnt know why then. This is a true tear jerker. Im 58 now and every memory just flahed through my heart as if I were 5 again. My dad crying at the table with a bottle of whiskey......I just didnt understand. I miss you dad!

It's amazing how much a well written and expertly performed song can affect you.

That''s OK Angela, I've heard this song a million times and I'm 60 years old, and I still cry like a baby every time I hear it.

The truth is all we can do is remind ourselves of the time we had & how lucky we were to have it,, Then honor & cherish every moment that we had. 🙏❤️

This song was number one for ever and ever. I am a widow also and I just broke down in tears. Thanks for the respect you gave Old Geezer.

Lost my husband of 20 years, you don't ever really get over it. The memories is what gets you through

tears me up every time. Another thing is that he's locked into an endless loop of reminiscence like he can't move on.

This song hits home to me too, I am one of those unfortunate people who lost my love unexpectedly, she left a four year old daughter and it broke me for years. Thank you for your time and your kindness on this channel. "IF NOTHING CAN SAVE US FROM DEATH, AT LEAST LOVE SHOULD SAVE US FROM LIFE"... Pablo Neruda.

n 1968 when this was a big hit, Dad used to whistle, hum, and sing this constantly. He drove my brother and I nuts. lol. not today, me being the last one left of that family, I can't get through this song without crying, wishing I could hear dad hum this once again. I figured out this song must have touched a nerve with him because he lost his mother when he was 18.

I remember this song from when I was a kid. It always made me tear up understanding the loss being expressed and the love that was no longer, not because someone did wrong, but because :life" ... still makes me tear up.

Sweet Angela. Your tender reaction and comments touch a lot of people, I suspect, in a positive manner. The way you genuinely translated the lyrics here to your patron's heartfelt memories of his loved one demonstrate that you not only feel the music but you can also see the real lives lying behind the names/monikers of your subscribers. Your reactions are worth their weight in gold. Keep up the good work.

Yes, Chris, I agree about Angela -- this is my first visit to her channel, but truly love her honest and heartfelt reaction.

Yesterday....04/11/2022 was the 18 year anniversary of my oldest brother receiving his wings.....this is the 1st time this song actually brought tears to my eyes!

My brother who was 6 died a few months after this was released. My mum really Couldn't listen to it without her heart breaking 💔 Great reaction 🌹

This is the first record I ever bought. Still makes me tear up.

I was still very young when I heard this song and it wasn't until I'd heard it a few times that I really started to 'hear' the lyrics. I cried and after many years, I cried again hearing this song and seeing your reaction upon hearing when 'the angels came..' Stay safe 👍🏽 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

those little moments, they're like diamonds and gold, treasured forever.

It's the saddest song I know. Still a tear jerker! Bobby sang and told the story well.

I was a really young kid when this was on the radio. I remember singing the chorus and having no idea what the song was about. It hits different after you live some and lose some.

This song breaks me up. When he says "and I'm being good" gets me every time.

There are a lot of 70's songs that are very emotional like this one.

I like that at the beginning of their marriage he thought that her sentimentality and nurturing nature were silly but came to appreciate her big heart that made his own heart grow.

It's the saddest and emotional song ever written. I have the original single and every time I hear this song I cry.

You're not the only ones who loved this song. Even Mr. Goldsboro stated that he could've retired on this song. Thanks for the cry. Been only ten years since I lost my 'Honey' this month. Miss you, Betty.

'Honey' tugs at the heartstrings as a whispery angel choir and chimes ring out when "Honey" departs this vale of tears. The fade when Goldsboro repeats first verse always leaves Mrs B with a lump in her throat. The big softie.

You are one of a kind! If only more people had the kind of compassion and empathy as you do, this life and world would be pretty close to being paradise!

And now I’m the Old Geezer. It was amazing to see your reaction Angela. It’s true, when I was young (60 years ago) my mother always said, “There is nothing new under the Sun.” Times really haven’t changed much Angela. Your reaction is priceless and very revealing. You are a sweetheart Angela and I pray you find real love.

What is it that hath been? the same thing that shall be. What is it that hath been done? The same that shall be done. Nothing under the sun is new, neither is any man able to say: Behold this is new: for it hath already gone before in the ages that were before us.

I can't get through this without crying...

Thank you, Angela. What a beautiful, beautiful reaction by you. This song evoked a lot of memories. I remember I was just a boy when this song came out and how much people would respond to it emotionally. Even I felt the power of its emotion at that young age, which I think is somewhat unusual. This was the song that I both loved and hated to listen to. It made me feel the message, which I loved, and it made me fight back the tears, which I hated. Because boys don't cry, right lol? Anyway, this was a fabulous selection by Old Geezer and my heart truly goes out to him. This was deep and beautiful all the way around. Here's to your next reaction! 🙏🙂💜

I'm 67 and it still brings the tears

Angela, I’m in the twilight of my life. My wife and I celebrated 40 years of marriage in 2023. I’m 65 and did dum things at 20. My wife and I are both still here and I tell her, she can’t go first because I’ll never survive without her. My hope, prayers and wishes are that you find a young man who will love you as much as I love my wife. Your grace, charm and heart are so good, yo7 deserve the very best. Thank you for just being you.

The title track, "Honey", was his biggest hit in 1968, a tearjerker about the death of a man's young wife. The song, written by Bobby Russell, was recorded in one take. It became the largest-selling record in the world for 1968 and topped the Hot 100 for five weeks.

OMG! I am pushing 60 and this song was one of my mom's favorites. I am like Ole Geezer. I have not lost the love of my life yet, but this song is the epitome of what a life love is about. I was thoroughly impressed at your slow reaction to what this song was saying. I hope you have that love in your life or will find it. I am pushing 40 years with my "Honey". I cannot think of life without her. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful song.

Yep we grew up to real music with real stories back in 68

The greatest gift of all are those little moments that we have with friends, family and precious pets that come our way. Moments ike crying to a beauty of a sad song that touches us is some way.

Its a very sad & beautiful love song. I haven't heard it in decades. I remember, as a kid, when this song was a hit hitting top in the charts a comedy show called the Smothers Brothers did a comedy skit of this song, a bit of dry humor, something that show was known for & they were cutting edge at the time. Hearing this song again brought back that memory, guess they are forever connected for me.

I had the same exact reaction the first time i heard this as a kid. Still remember exactly when and where.

Yet again I wipe the tears from my eyes , it's a very emotional song, and gets me each time I hear it. And your reaction shows your beautiful nature .

I knew this song as a young kid, hadn’t heard it in a while. A real tear jerker and yes I cried again, I sobbed and then you started! I saw you’re face the moment it hit your heart and that was it ,I really lost it! I’ve not had such an experience on line. I will remember this for ever. Thank you. Also to Old Geezer, the great thing is that you shared something deep and personal so you weren’t much help either. Hearing you and yours was when I broke the flood gates. I do hope you are happy and living life to the full. Blessings.

I was 12 years old when this song came out in 1970 and have been crying just about everytime I have heard it since then but really hit home this time because my wife of 30 years passed away just over a year ago just shy of her 60th birthday. It's truly hard to deal with the loss of someone who spent half of their life with you and now they are gone and all you have are your memories together.

That song was number One it seemed like forever during the summer of 1968. A great song-writer named Bobby Russell (Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia) wrote it.

Your sentiments at the end are spot on. It's so hard to say to anyone who has just loved their partner/parent/friend/son or daughter, etc. how sorry you are for their loss because "sorry" just doesn't seem sufficient.

I have always loved this song. It first came out when my mom had just died and my dad would turn it up on the car radio when it came on. He did not say a word but I knew then he was thinking about her.

Great song, great reaction, thank you Angela and Old Geezer (I'm an old geezer too)

One of the saddest songs ever! Our mortality reminds us how precious life is! Thx!

Your heartfelt reaction was so touching, Angela. I can't listen to this song without shedding a couple of tears too. Though my wife is still with me, my youngest son is not. Listening to this song reminds me how much I miss him.

No matter I’ve heard this so often but I still tear up!

That is why we cherish each day we have with the one we love more than life.

It makes many of us cry bc we have lost a love. So glad it touched you too.

I'm 62 years old and I still cry every time I hear this song. Honey I Miss You.

My late husband and I always loved this song. He has been gone nearly four years now. About a year before he died, he planted "just a twig." His tree towers over me today--and my relatives sometimes wonder why I haven't moved. Goldsborough also had a song called "Watching Scotty Grow" that my husband and I heard for the first time after our son, Scott, was born. Hubby made a collage of pictures of Scott at different early stages and captioned it "Watching Scotty Grow." I still have it, and Scott is 52 years old. I listened to "Honey" just months after my husband died, and made it through without tears. Hearing it today brought back memories and a downpour of refreshing tears. Thank you for posting.

I too remember this song.. loved it.. still do.. would sing it when i was 10.. I had a thing for ballads.

Anyone with a warm heart like you can not listen to this song and not tear up!!!!! Thank you for reacting to this childhood song of mine. So many great memories!!!

I lived this song more then once. Your reaction was heart touching and yes I cried too. I remember this performance.

My fathers favorite song and a huge hit in the 60's. I thought that would get to you.

Bless Your Heart ❤️! You SO Got This Song! Like no Other Reactor Ever has! It's a Very Heart Breaking Song. My eyes Get Misty when the Back up singers come in , and he talks about how she was Home Alone . And the Angels Came! 😥💦 Gets to me Still! Loved Enjoying This with you Dear! Take care! 😘

Angela I've got to say that was the best reaction I've seen I could feel your emotions, thank you. and to guy that recommend this from one old geezer to another thank you and I'm really sorry your loss

If you don't cry to this song, you're already dead

Bobby Goldsboro was a great singer and he had some real tear-jerker songs. I suggest "Watching Scotty Grow" another great song by Bobby.

A song that shows the power of music to relay emotion. You can picture it all happening and your heart breaks for him and with him.

I’m 64 and have had the very same reaction that you just had...each and every time Ive heard this song. It is so beautiful and so sad.

The saddest or the happiest songs are the ones you relate to the most. This is the sadest song bare none. And I know many of songs of various genre's from the 50's through the 90's

Such a beautiful and sincere reaction. Thank you xx

Honey I miss you, mom you gave me all these beautiful songs and you must have known I would be thinking of you when I heard them. I think of you always and, you will always be my butterfly that flew off into paradise, I'll see you on the other side mom when it's my time!!!

This song tears me up inside. I lost my wife of 49 years earlier this year. It is hard to go on without her

Another nostalgic tune! These types of tunes really tell a tale! So many memories and so many experiences one goes through! I hope you play Could It Be Magic by Barry Manilow at some point! Now that song is truly miraculous and magical! Goodbye cats!

Such a touching 😢 and beautiful song always been a favorite of mine

This was voted the sappiest song of the 20th century. BS. It's a good song. I remember playing it for my daughter when she was 10. She is now 30. I just sent this to her and I told her I teared up watching it today as she did 20 years ago and asked her to watch it. It's so enjoyable to watch these songs enjoyed for the first time by fresh ears. You do a fantastic job! I find myself smiling uncontrollably.

Hard not to tear up to this classic

I can remember this song when it first came out, playing at the dance club most of the girls there had tears in her eyes and I guess that’s boys had some too. I still think to this day it is a beautiful song I love you sentimental story of love. We will dream of having love that experience in real is a wonderful thing.

You ask what do you say, when there gone. My answer is its only for a short time. I lost my mom a few months ago and I know without a doubt we will see each other soon. Have faith.

Old Geezer,thank you for requesthing this song,i am 56 and this was my favoriete song growing up,i still love this song and i am sorry you lost your wife,i lost my wife also,and the Hurt will never go away,and Angela,thank you for your compassion and your reactions,love from the Netherlands

I Literally had tears in my eyes allready in the first 20 seconds of this song ????? I heard it last time around 40 years ago...???? Now again ?????? Thanks to KZread now I know who this song belongs too...???? Pure Magic........

Angela, I loved your reaction, as this song always touched me the same it did you. I can now really tell you're a kind, caring person. Thank you for playing Bobby's great song & being able to watch it again WITH YOU ❤

The beauty of this episode, Miss Day One, is it shows us “old softies” that you are one of us, and we thank you.

Don't be ashamed to cry dear, this song and his voice always made me do it. More so since I lost my "Honey" just over 2 years ago. Occasionally I think I still hear her voice in the house. Although she is no longer her, my memories of the time we had will always be with me. I pray that you never have to feel that pain in your life.

Angela, I've lost a couple in my life, and if you don't mind, you're my "Honey" now, because you help me (and everyone) feel again. Such a beautiful soul you have ... and yes, I was crying along with you. What was really so special is seeing just how empathic you are ... I mean, I saw and FELT the arrow pierce your heart in the instant you realized what he was really singing about, and that shock and pain travelled right through you and into me. What an beautiful experience.

Beautiful but at the same time sad song. I love your reaction and sentiments.🙏❤

You truly have a good heart & soul 💛

My god, my late father loved this song. Remember mom and dad, sitting in the living room, crying while this song was playing. My dad, had gotten orders to report to VIET - NAM, my late mom, would sit and listen to this song, and cry thinking of our dad. Our father, served 2 tours in VIET - NAM, being seriously injured, by a jumping Bennie ( land mine) listening to this song makes me cry, we lost our beloved mom, 1 year ago. Thank you for this blessed memory. RIP - MOM - DAD, miss you both dearly. Love you always, your family.

Yeah me too, what they all said. Growing older and seeing those who were part of your life pass on is so tough. Thanks For another genuine reaction Angela, stuff like this is why I keep coming back here, pretty lady! Take care...😊

America needs a lot more young people like you. It shows that you have a big heart. Something that people has seemed to have lost.

The saddest song was ever written. I miss Bobby.

Im so glad this song touched you heart. I felt the same way. The first time listening to the song back in 1978. Even though the song was released in 1968. I Have one favor please listen to George Michael and, Different Corner. That is my mine and wife wedding song. In 1987. And I'm still married to the same beautiful woman. I Wouldn't want to change anything because that song really happened to us . And I guess it was faith that brought us together. God bless. Please enjoy

This was played fpr me in 2009 the day after my fiance died ! I'm crying now and always will to this song

I was listening to dance music and I found a 1968 CD in his collection and this song came on.😢 It’s my favourite LOVE SONG! And it’s old but I love it! I cry all the time when it comes on.😇

Great song with a tough subject matter ! Thank you for sharing your emotions !
