    My husband sang this song to me the second day I knew him. That was it, I fell in love. Thanks Tom.

    He is America's treasure. His songs are lovingly filled with explorations of the human condition. He is funny, sad, hopeful and hopeless all at once. It is time he receives the presidential medal of freedom.

    Man - Tom was very young when he wrote this song but it's old man's song. The tenderness and compassion are just out of this world. Tom is a treasure and should have all the medals in the world for writing songs about the people who have no voices. Tom: Please stay forever. We love you!

    Closing Time is just the perfect album.

    My life just went by while I sat and listened to this song. At 63, I’ve been there, done that my fair share. He couldn’t have said it better.

    Damn. That is as perfect as a song can get, sung by the most tender, rueful and lovely voice. Tom Waits can do no wrong. And I always get a lump in my throat.
  • God, how i remember what it was like to love, to hold a man a be held, to cuddle, to smile, to live a moment in the wonder in the heady dizzy desire of the moment. Why do we live longer than our joy? I have lived too long.

    Tom's an absolute genius. He can make you laugh, he can make you cry, he makes you think! Everything he writes is poetry, truly!

    This Song is an exact summery of my evening yesterday.. Met a stunning woman and we had a blast of an evening.. I haven't felt these butterflys in my stomache for years.. I'm so afraid to destoy with being needY and over communicating.. It kills me.. Who can relate?
  • As I grow older I can relate more with music and lyrics that Tom makes, and it's both painful and hopeful somehow.
  • @avriljack1893
    One of his earliest and I keep coming back to it. It's perfect poetry.

    One of my favorites. Ladies, I guarantee to you, even if you didn't know it at the time, or even now, someone regrets terribly not going up to you and not saying, "hello." Gents, even Tom Waits has fallen in love across a bar top. Take your shot and say, "hello." He's already cornered the market in great songs that capture the moment.
  • He was my girl's favourite! I lost my Julie March 6 2022! Listen to Tom all day long!
  • @shayZero
    This song is essentially the tale of my love life over the past 30 years.
  • @gerokron3412
    There never was a better description of my love life. Tom Waits is just....you know...
  • @SwingFi
    This is the first song I heard by Tom Waits. I fell in love with him immediately. His lyrics are amazing. I am privileged to have see him perform live a few times. The last time was at the Edinburgh Playhouse. He was amazing.
  • This makes me miss the lover I never had! But I know, my heart is warm. 🌕
