    I may be biased here, but as far as I'm concerned, that long extended riff he breaks into , is the most beautiful thing ever played on a guitar in history, past, present, and future......solid gold in my book....

    This was my wife’s favorite song. We saw him in concert and she went up to the front when he played this song and handed him her cowboy hat. He wore it while he played the song and then handed it back to her. The local paper took a picture of it. She was a wonderful woman and I miss her greatly. RIP

    I had this played at my mother’s funeral, she truly was an angel flying too close to the ground. I couldn’t help myself, I cried during the entire song . . . Thank you, Willie for the most meaningful song ever!!!

    One of the most beautiful songs Willie has ever done. I was fortunate enough to get to talk to Willie in a Mexican restaurant in Tucson when he was filming The Highwaymen. The restaurant was an old house. Willie was so humble and kind. They didn’t treat him like a VIP at all! He was still standing there waiting for a table when I left! He probably got our table! I’m not sure they even knew who he was. Can’t believe that over six hundred people put thumbs down on this! They must be tone deaf!
  • Can we just all agree Willie Nelson is the actual angel that's flying too close to the ground!!!

    Until today I had never heard this song. It has the most meaningful lyrics I have ever related to. Only Willie's voice can give it this.

    There are only a handful of songs I call “Hauntingly Beautiful.” This is one of them.

    I love the guitar in this song it gives some chills down my spine one of my favorite Willie songs can’t help but cry every time I here it
  • @edsmith6360
    There are some songs that speaks to you so soulfully, that they quite literally take your breath away; it's hard to inhale. This is one of those songs.
