I lost my wife 9 years ago. People keep trying to replace her. It seems like they never loved anyo be one. Can you replace the sun. Can you replace a dream. Our wife's do so much for us. Don't forget to thank yours every day and hug her every night. A empty bed is so cold. Thank you Phyllis you left me with a beautiful pot of golden memories.

Such a beautiful and meaningful song. May all our loved ones who passed on, rest in eternal peace. God only knows how many nights I've listened to this song and cried bitter tears for my parents ❤️

So sorry

My father just died of pancreatic cancer. I’m absolutely devastated. We loved the times spent in Ireland at his house in Lismore. He never saw it again after he got sick. It’s doesn’t seem real but he loved this song. I listen to it a few days a week. I cry and smile at the same time.

Well very good news

I’m not Irish but I love all these beautiful songs. My Son in law was born in Belfast and I love my 2 weeks in Ireland. Beautiful people ❤️❤️

I heard this song 15 years ago in a Dublin pub, I cried as I listened to it. The words were how I felt about losing my grandfather. He was my best friend and always there for me, nearly 20 years later I still miss him every single day. Had forgotten the name of the song over the years but never the feeling it gave me. 2 years ago I messaged the bar I had been in and asked if they knew what the song could have been, and after a few messages they put me on to this! I had it back. Thank you Darkey Kelly's. Xx

Such a beautiful meaningful song.

Love this song, makes me think of my husband who passed away in 2009. I learned how to play it on guitar, but have never managed to get through the whole song without crying!!

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have EVER heard!!! Man ohhhhhhh man.........I have no words to express what this song brings to me when I listen! (speechless)

Beautiful song! Reminds me of my lovely parents who were from Dublin, they’ve both sadly passed and we miss them every day. Hearing the Dublin accent makes my heart hurt with nostalgia - but it’s also so great to hear it. My mum and her sisters used to sing sweet 16. When my mum passed, my Dad would listen to Finbar and Imelda May singing it and also ‘I wish I had someone to love’ …. he missed my mum terribly, they got together at age 14 and 15 and used to go the dance halls back in Dublin. My mum was a great dancer and my Dad the biggest joker - wonderful people! Love the Furey’s - great story tellers! We’ll be seeing them in May next year in London. Very proud of my Irish ☘️ heritage ❤️

My lovely John Passed away suddenly 13th Jan 2018. I miss him so much, We went to see the Fureys whenever we could. This was special xx

Just a fantastic song ,sung by a wonderful musical band of musicians,hail hail my friends.

I lost my Husband who was a huge fan of the Fureys. I had never heard of you before but now you are my favorite. He passed so very quickly , within 18 hours hours. Now all I have is the music he showed me. He was one of the most wonderful men in this whole world and Absent Friends is the most one of the mysteries to me,

My mum died ten years ago. The loss of her still breaks me. 💔💔💔💔💔

This is the definitive and absolutely best outstanding version of this song, often copied, never equalled! Sung with passion and belief by George Furey, the anchorman and outstanding guitarist and vocalist of the Fureys over the last 30+ years! Dedicated to all our absent friends! Listen and enjoy!

I never cryed for a year after my mum died.This song brings back memories.I then cry like a baby

This song touches my heart and soul.

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard!

My Dad passed away 26 years ago, he was my 🌎, a reue gentleman, and a wonderful loving kind man...I miss him just as much today, always will 😢😢

My pop pop used to make me burnt CDs of Irish artists. He always said the Fureys were his favorite. Now he lives in these words, of this song when I sing.

They are an awesome group makes you proud to be Irish

When I first heard this song I cried . So very true. My husband's friend found this song in memory of him. Just love it.

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,so love the people who treat you right,and forget the ones that dont,and believe that everything happens for a reason,if you get a chance take it,if it changes your life let it,nobody said it would be easy,they just promised it would be worth it...The one who holds your hand will never let go!

I'm not an Irishman , but my love of the music the voices the instruments and songs makes me think that perhaps I was in a previous life 😊.Perhaps I could be an honorary Irishman .

I have never heard this lovely ballad before, what a wonderful sound and lovely lyrics, so well done guys. love this.

My mother used to sing this with her band.. very nice song!

This song is even more relevent during the covid pandemic and so true how many friends have buried friends and can't even say their goodbyes

He was such an avid Genealogist and he loved your music to the end. So now I still want to fulfill his dream of going to the Isles to listen to the music, but alas will never make it so I just listen to you every night on the internet (of course) before I go to bed.

What a beautiful and for a lot of people very relevant song.👏

My adopted parents hurt me so bad, and this song is for them. Thank you both for letting me go!

What a fantastic song by The Fureys

I love this song, heard it live at Arbroath Webster theartre and had a pint with them accross the road, great guys x

I miss all the good times when I was a young lad and miss my days of playing football I thought the way it should be played to try and entertain all that came to watch an a lot of the lovely girls I met all over the country

every time I hear this song all I can think about is a woman I love and miss a we bit more each day,but I bet someone hurting much more than I.😥
