No you don't!! Because if you were you would be 50+ years old and when you turn 50 everything starts to go downhill and your body falls apart and grey hair and wrinkles and everything hurts when you get out of bed in the morning. LOL!! But, yes, the music was epic!!!

But you could go to you tube and recapture all the wonderful memories of what ever time you grew up in. I am 75 born in 1941. Each decade has a special memory. So enjoy every stage of life.

whoever voted "thumbs down" on this video for this song was probably born way way after the 70's....I love this song, thank you for uploading.

The 70's were such a special time for music.

They don't make good music like this anymore (BeeGees, Earth, Wind and Fire, Commodores, KC & the sunshine band, Lobo and many, many more). I may be only in my 40's but love me some oldies easy listening music.

I'm 14 and my mum and I are sitting in the car singing this together. I love this music. It has meaning. It has feeling. It has emotion. Not to mention it sounds absolutely beautiful.

I was born in 73 and I can remember my mom listening to this song on her light up speakers in the living room. I would lay on my stomach on the shaggy rug and watch the multi colored lights from the speaker until I peacefully fell asleep

There is just something about this song!! It gets me every time I hear it!!!

Todays singers can't touch the singers from that erea

This is one of the most beautiful saddest songs....i'm lost for words to express the feelings it evokes within me.....awesome song....

I just slow danced with Angela to this song every chance I could, she was first love, she is in heaven but I still love her.

Yes, the Summer of 1979!!! This song was number one and I was test driving a car I only dreamed about. I cruised over to my girlfriends house to give her a ride; we took off the T-top and cruised down the highway. She said turn on the radio and this was the first song that car's radio played for us. It was magic and I still have the vette and girl.

My mother loved this song and played it over and over. God rest her soul.😭😿

I was born in 2000 but my mother and father were born in the 70s so I listen to 60's 70's and 80's they r all good wish I was born in the 70s 😫

"Sad Eyes" is a song written and recorded by Robert John, and released in April 1979. It debuted May 19 on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching the top of the chart on October 6. The song was produced by George Tobin in Association With Mike Piccirillo. "Sad Eyes" is one of just a few non-disco, or disco-influenced, songs to top the 1979 pop charts, although by the time it went to number one the anti-disco backlash had made it easier for other styles to reach the top.

joe r newsom it might not have been disco but it definitely did have that falsetto Bee Gees sound. In fact many people thought it was a Bee Gees record.

This was my fathers favorite song. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Brings back a FLOOD of memories, from a time that was better, when people respected each other, before all the evil in the world became so prevalent. Those times now seem like a dream...

Omg, rip my heart out 40+ yrs later! I had forgotten how much I love this song and once had the album but got destroyed in flood. Thanks for the memories! At 65, I was & still am a Hopeless Romantic, waiting for another chance to share my love in my last years.

L Bluebird hey big man. Lot of people looking for a gentleman type guy. She's out there ol buddy.

My life long love of music was given to me by my uncle who used to take me with him cruising in the early 60's up and down Classen playing music and singing. when I grew older I moved away. One visit home he drove me back to the airport to leave and this came on the radio. As was his way he turned it up ands sang to me as the tears flowed. He passed not long ago. I cannot express how deeply this song affects me. I miss you Uncle Chris and I hope whenI die we cruise and sing again down Classen.XO

what hurts the most was you never saw it coming..... till it was too late....

One of my all time favourite songs. I started loving this type of music when I was 18 and I have never stopped, 10 years on. Music that makes you cry, not because you are sad but because it is just awesome.

they dont play enough of this music anymore on the radio! The good old days I love this music!

Beautiful sad song....some of these one hit wonders are unforgettable..... this always makes me emotional.....

I had to get old to finally appreciate music like this. Very pleasant, yet sad song. I guess with a lifetime of experience's one finally understands life.

my favorite of all time. I'm a 70's child so I still melt when I listen to this song

i love this song! and its funny to see all the women on her who think its a love song but just incase you missed the point of it its about a guy who is cheating on his wife or girlfriend then telling his lover he has to leave her for his wife or girlfriend listen to the opening line "looks like its over you knew i couldn't stay she's coming home today" hence "sad eyes turn the other way"

This is the definition of beautiful music! Listen closley cuz they dont make them like this anymore!

This song is so sad it makes me want to cry. Beautiful song.

One of my favorite songs out of the thousands I adore.

Read alot of comments and there was ABSOLUTELY no better music than late 50s, all 60s, most 70s and some 80s. And each year, generation & moment in those times were memories, choices, paths we were glad we took & some paths we regret, but it was our precious life!! I'm 65, & sooooo want to do ALL those years again, and live life to the max...travel, school, help more people, wait for the REAL love. My heart is duct taped together from being broken so many times in life. Not just by men, but family, friends, jobs, just life. Encourage the young to do what they love, not what others think they should do. Hug your kids alot today, read to them at night if u can, try not to yell, smile more, love more and listen to great music! Also LOVE "Lion Sleeps Tonight" by Robert John...God bless

OMG My mom on her stereo in the 80' s would play this song. Why now at my age these words have so much meaning.

Beautiful song. Forgive us lord for our sins. All tears come from the holy spirit for we're part of Jesus his love.

Classic song, timeless.

70s music 🎶 what a beautiful time in music so many hits were put out in the 70s

This beautifull song takes me way back! How can you compare modern music to this!

One the all time classics & a favorite of mine. Robert John's had such a unique pitch for Sad Eye's. You can really feel the lyrics and this guys remorse, it's beautifully haunting.

So sad and so beautiful. Makes me cry every time I hear it. So indicative of the 70's.

Oh the memories this one evokes. Great song.

I heard this playing on a radio at the end of the summer, I was 14 and he was my first dirty thought. I married him, and I still remember how sad I felt walking away from him. Songs!

"You knew there'd come a day." Too many of those goodbye days for me to ever trust love again. I'll settle for just being content with someone. Still, I'll always be content to let the music take me back to when it was good. Thanks for the posting.

# 1 in 1979-Fantastic song!

Can't deny what the heart feels

awesomely beautiful!!! love his song !!!

one of the most beautiful and sad songs ever made.

I love this song....reminds me of my teenage years and a broken relationship.

One of those unforgettable one hit wonders from the 70's. One hit wonders were a lot more common during that decade than they seem to be today.

Robert John also had a 1972 cover hit with The Tokens' 1961 #1 hit "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". His version hit #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Insanely good. Ridiculously good..... Did I mention this is pretty good....>:()

I loved this song as a teenager but didn't really know what it was about until now. Day'um it's about cheating!!!

great song I grew up in 70s this one was my favorite

I remember this song playing on the radio during the summer of 1979. It was on the charts then. I was still sad about, "Emergency!," folding. But I was, however, happy the stars of that show got opportunities to do other projects.

This song takes me back to the 70s

i always get teary eyed and a huge lump in my throat!! it's 1 of greatest sad songs of all time here i go with the shiver of tears welling up in my eyes, i can never say goodbye to the love of my life, but she says i lost my love for her!!! i will love her all the more that i can possibly give her

Looked it up and said it was released in 1979. I sure thought closer to 77. Oh well, it was a good song. Not long out of army, Drive in movies, small town, hot summer nights in the woods. All the girls loved me. Well, not quite all. Lol. Good song and good times.

Forever Sad Eyes, Love this song !!

Wonderfull music for ROBERT JOHN "Sad Eyess". Me fascina trayendome gratos recuerdos de aquellas epocas vividas. Thank you por ponerla.😚😘😄😊😋😍😗😄🖒👄💋💘❤🎵🎶🎼🎤♩📻🎹🎸

I was born in the 80s, 1989 to be exact, but 70s music is awesome! This makes me think about how the groupies and the rest must've felt when the 70s was coming to a close. Everybody had sad eyes.

What awesome memories this brings back! Thanks so much for bringing them back!

had'nt heard this for about 40 years, then wonderful memories of the 70s came flooding back..wish i had a time machine, they dont press tracks like this any more unfortunately

Man it's been a while since I was stationed in Frankfurt, RPG the summer of 79' and Mr. Robert John!

excellent photos. Love this video and song. Thanks for sharing.

I'm 65 and realize why this old dancer slash musician still has it..its the music kiddies

What a great song! What a voice. Great stuff

I love the screaming back up at the end. _Heeeeeeey!_ 3:30

Can't deny what the ❤ feels

I so love this song for some reason. It's sad but it's so lovely

I grew up in the 70s an truly loved the music, i wouldnt trade those memories for nothing ♥

Love this old school music it just takes me away

Wore this song out...love it thanks for sharing

It will be 38 years ago on 7/16/17 that my 3 year old brother was taken from my family by a car that hit him. My dad used to get drunk and listen to this song over and over again. I still miss him every day, and this song reminds me of him every time I hear it. I do still have my dad, and he has been alcohol free for the last 14 years. I miss you Craig Hill.

Robert John ,awesome song ,sad eyes ,some time i come home and just listen to old song my biggest thrill

LOVE THIS SONG EVEN THOUGH ITS SAD XXX

Precioso tema,nunca pasara de moda.

Beautiful song, I love it!

Always the best slow-dance song at high school dances...brings back alot of great memories. :-)

Oh, that guitar! ♥

Swear to god...My ex had this down to the note when we broke up. “You knew I couldn’t stay, you knew it had to end, I’ll miss the good times, don’t wanna see you cry...”If people realize how it hurts when you’re using someone, but everyone gets used

´Nice song , the 70´in all is greatness , good times , good songs , the world was diferent !!love , melody , flowers and less tecnologie .

Finaly!! I get to hear this song again!!! I have been looking for it for a very long time...I have not heard it since the 70's or when I was a kid. It reminds me of a favorite elementary school teacher...when I passed on to the next grade, I developed sad eyes beacause I was not going to be in her class anymore! :(

what a great song can't beat a 70s tune, nice video , enjoyed it !

Love the old classics

A beautiful forgotten classic...

This was a # 1 hit song , In the 70's . I still love It today In 2018 . ...

But we knew we couldnt last. So ill carry you around in my heart for another 30+ years, untill I die. And maybe then it will be our time. Finally. Goodbye my love. My good girl. My Missy. Ill always love you.
