Desperate to find song again! Please help :)

[emmy-lou]

I heard a song on Radio 2 approx 1 1/2 years ago which I fell in love with. I found it on youtube and listened to it a few times but it disappeared. Trouble is I now have limited info... It is sung by a man and it is about his relationship with his wife over the years and how basically they always have eachother in spite of the physical changes, ageing process etc Its a beatiful song, very poor description I knwo but I'm keeping hopeful.

Thanks in anticipaton,

Emma

Emmy - there are thousands of songs based on relationships between partners. Do you at least remember a line or some words from that song? Otherwise it's a dead end. Sorry.

I know in the Corus he compares present looks to old ones like 'though your face isn't as...' and that he wouldn't change things for the world. He is a very famous old singer, country/folk I believe. It is driving me mad! Sorry I know it is a real long shot. I know there were a few people who had played the song at their wedding... that's no help either!

Johnny Cash - Hurt ??

The description sounds like Ralph McTell's Naomi.

Beautiful South - Prettiest Eyes?


*grasping at straws*

Thanks everyone, but unfortunately, though not suprisingly (from my description!) it's none of them. I remember their was nostalgic humour to the song, very romantic-reminiscent and I remeber thinking it sounds 'Grandaddy'.

So, it's not Amazed by Lonestar then?

[luckyfish]

emma, have you managed to remember anymore about the song - or even better found it????

[emmy-lou]

Still no luck, and no further information, damn. I only heard it a few times so nothing particularly stands out. I'm sure it's quite old as the couple who had requested it were celeberating 40/50 years of marriage as I remember, and a soon to be wed couple were also playing it at their wedding. Maybe I'll never know what it was!

[4candles]

Ah, so was it a current release at the time you heard it? Might it have got into the charts?

[Bathsheba]

I'm thinking Willie Nelson maybe? xx

[raysparx1]

Was it this one from "GiGi"? hope it works

Jim Reeves? x

[4candles]

For some reason I'm thinking that too, Bathsheba, but no song comes to mind yet :>(

[emmy-lou]

Hey 4candles, no sorry it wasn't a new release at the time, the couple celebrating their anniversary had had their first dance to it many years ago. Raysparx1 I've had a llok and that's not it but thanks so much for your suggestion. Now, Willie Nelson is the closest I have heard and he looks familiar but had a good look at his songs and they don't ring a bell at the moment. Check a site out which gives bref previews of the songs but no good so far. It could well be him though, I hope so! X

been trying to remember this song since i saw your question... it's beautiful and although it might not be the song you're thinking of, it's worth the listen.

[luckyfish]

"Time in a bottle" by Jim Croche?

[emmy-lou]

Hi Luckyfish, not them I'm afraid but I got a couple of good songs to listen to now, great recommendations :) Factor30, I had heard that before and it is a beautiful song and one I will keep hold of. I am still on the hunt! I can remember doing that laugh and 'god I can imagine that when I'm older' finding the song funny and touch and crying with happiness/sadness.

We all know how annoying it is when you get something like this stuck in your head. I'm trying to inflict other people with the problem now lol ;)

[luckyfish]

well emma, keep us posted when you remember, cause the song must have some special words if you still think of them...
i thought BEAUTIFUL IN MY EYES was very likely but now i'm all out of ideas - sorry :(
