Possibly the greatest song ever written by anybody, and sung with such sincerity that even old cynics (!) are moved by it. The song set me on a rewarding journey of re-discovery of this man's talent. Thanks for sharing.

Completely agree.

This has to be one of the greatest songs of my lifetime and I am now 57 years old.I am moved to tears every time I listen to it and I will play it every week for the rest of my days.God bless you Clifford we miss you terribly.

Possibly Clifford T’s finest ever song. Wake up everyone. He’s one of the best songwriters we have ever had.

Hauntingly beautiful. RIP, Clifford

A staggering talent, and what a beautiful song. Much missed.

What a talent - absolutely sublime

Purity of voice & sentiments from a seemingly simpler past. Thankyou for the music. RIP

Thank you so much Scalpsie. I am a huge fan of Clifford T. Have been since 1973. I have all his recordings and I am so glad that you put them on you tube. Perhaps he will at last get the attention he so very much deserves. ❤

I must say first of all that I'm an MS sufferer and that Clifford's passing took allot out of me having been a fan since "Gaye" "Home thoughts from abroad" days and as my MS worsened so did his so you just imagine what this song does for me and to me thanks for the post

Hi Terri I was a friend of Clifford's and got to know him because of this song. I really hope you are in a good place and wish you well. This song was genius and though Clifford hated the word 'proud'...he was proud of this masterpiece. Take good care

This song elicits such emotion and tears from me, I can only imagine your connection with it Terri, given all you've told us. I'm so sorry you have to struggle with MS and also sorry if this comes across as trite. Love and good wishes to you, Mary.

Boom Radio plays his songs frequently……..try it, you’ll be surprised at what else you hear!!😁

Usually in a song, there is one killer line, one line which stands head & shoulders above all the rest. But I have just listened to this song four times in a row & quite honestly, every line is perfect, just perfect. What a legacy Clifford left us all. One day I hope that he gets the recognition he truly deserves. Thank you for posting this & making many peoples lives just a bit richer.

One of the great songs. Love his music. Sad to see him die so young. Never got the world recognition he deserved. Will never be forgotten.

The most underrated singer/songwriter ever amazing lyrics beautiful arrangement the mans a genius

What an amazing song by an amazing and gifted singer/songwriter. It never fails to bring tears to my eyes.

Surely one of the greatest songs of all time

This is so beautiful I shall love it until infinity!

Followed him through the madness of heavy metal onwards but he resonates at a deeper level. He turns me to jelly.

without doubt the greatest song writing talent ever in the English language. Over 40 years since I got turned on to Cliff's music and it's as fresh today as it was then.God rest him.

As a fellow MS sufferer I must say any CTW song always brings a plumb to my through, Thanks for the memory

I was born near Clifford T Ward's birthplace in Worcestershire not many years after, and have been a fan for more than 40 years.What a great talent.

Beautifully crafted song

Damp eyed again listening to this masterpiece ........... (Silly old fool me)

It's so musically advanced it's frightening. This genius is not getting the credit that he deserves!

I love Clifford T - left us far too soon. A great talent.

Hauntingly beautiful superb talent and a huge loss to music lovers and song writers everywhere.

This song is song beautifully written & sung. I miss you, taken to early.

I come back occasionally to listen and remember how lovely this song is. Thanks. Philip

A great song xxx

Clifford was one of the finest song writers ever. We should here much more of his genius. Come on radio, wake up.

A Beautiful song . Your talent is missed so much Clifford. Thank you for touching my heart on many occasions. You will make everyone in heaven so happy with your wonderful songs.

This is what you call talent so beautiful you couldn't get music as good today

Really beautiful!

The words , the way he sings them , you believe ever word . Wonderful Clifford T. Ward. We have the best always thanks to your music which will be here always as long as Earth remains. I am so blessed to have discovered you and Gaye all those years ago . A beautiful legacy you have left us all.

If any song could make even the most hardened person cry, this is the one. As I write this it always brings tears to my eyes. So beautiful. Clifford was the very best. RIP Clifford Thomas Ward (10 February 1944 - 18 December 2001)

Such a beautiful song, Clifford's music will live on forever.

A truly beautiful song! I really love it and play it whenever I want to hear something lovely! I have loved Clifford T Ward songs from my school days when Gaye was a hit!

Oh so beautiful ! I miss you Cliff .R.I.P. Love to Pat and the family . Doug (Beauchamp Ave)

Beautiful voice and beautiful song

This is simply beautiful. One of my late husband's favourite musicians and lyricists...it was played at his funeral. I hope some day the world will see what an undiscovered treasure Clifford was, a beautiful soul🎶

A beautiful song, from one of the very best songwriter and singer,

It’s just a pleasure to listen to the music and lyrics of the fantastic Clifford T Ward.

an underated talent from an ex school teacher, rip Clifford I appreciate your wonderful work

Beautiful. Thank you for this lovely song from one of my favourite singers His voice brings me back to happy times. May he rest in peace.

My all time favourite love song. Tragic loss.

This is my favourite song from Clifford T Ward. ...it's short but very, very sweet.

Another beautiful emotional song.

After all these years, it's still one of my favourites. CTW is sadly missed. You are not alone 99marconi. We are beside you.

You never get tired of this music.

What a sad & beautiful song about loss & love, thank you Peter, you understand. Have never heard of this singer before, very touching...

A great song is a great song when written with sincerity,passion and feeling.....can't think of many CTW's that don't fit the mould.

A truly beautiful song sung with so much tendernes.

I'm afraid there are no genuine Poets left to compare with this magic.. I've been a Clifford fan for nearly 40 years.. I have him on my iPod & listen when I do my ironing. He still gets the odd airplay on Irish radio, but not nearly enough I'm sorry to say.

Wow! Goosebumps every time I hear this

Wonderful. Makes me cry each time I hear it.

Oh what can I say.I loved Gaye and Home thoughts from abroad in the '70s. So sad CTW is not still here with us. Thanks for posting this.

One of the most beautiful songs I know of.

Beautiful song . My favourite song ever

I'd largely forgotten what a talent this guy was.Just heard his song Scullery and it prompted me to re visit his stuff.He wrote and performed some magical touching songs.I remember being shocked when he died at the time aged only 57 and like i say he'd disappeared off my Radar.He's on my playlist now though.Absolute classic songs,sang in his inimitable soft voice.Great stuff

What a talent so cut short. There is no-one to take his place.

Nearly 60 and remember Gaye when I was maybe 11 are 12 and just remembered what a song then started playing other songs by him and wow 😢

Thank you. LOVE.

Possibly the best shortest song ever … such talent with moving lyrics

One of my ultimate favourite singers and songs

Just Googled him. He died in 2001. I remember him form my early years - what a truly admirable songwriter/performer!

Love this song, thanks

I first heard this song in the 70s and it has been one of my all time favourites he died far too young what a waste of a great talent

Thank you Scalpsie for all these memories of a 'One off Genius'

What a, wonderful song

So beautiful.

And if you leave me now... great song

A simple beautiful love song

I love this album and this track in particular.

Oh dear, this has floored me hearing this again...on my 70th birthday...unfortunately she left me eight years ago, the best came and went, I guess...still miss her....

you old hippys were never my favourites but clifford seemed to reach across that great divide.i guess we are old enough now to respect each other and appreciate true talent

AMAZING in every way GREAT BIG loss to us all.
