Milsap, Ronnie - Why Lyrics

2020 still listening to the music my Grandma played everyday

Great song, despite being a stalkers handbook

I’m from China 🇨🇳. Upon listening this tune, I fall in love with it. I would like to hear more =_=

Great music. Never gets old. Thank you, God bless.

"LIKE" If you think this song is very similar to James Taylor "Handy man" from the 70's!🤣

Damn this is old Vegas. It's nice to see it again

I love this song.

I was only 11 years old in 1981 when i first heard this song, it was either in Orlando Fl or Miami. I remember loving the song.

Am I the only one who thinks him and the singer from "Alabama" sound very similar?

Nope guess not!!!! Special song

Awesome song that last thru' the years. Thank you !Ronnie Milsap

My favorite artiste ttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3QSu0KySWD8

I love Ronnie Milsap

I have a story that I'm sure no one would believe but can back up everything I say!!! I was 18 and In June of 1988 my Grandfather, Pastor Ronald Holland died. Of course I went to his funeral and was even one of his pall bearers. After the funeral or wake as it is called in the south, we were at a reception and I noticed a blind man sitting at a picnic table and decided to talk to him. I was 18 and had never listened to country music in my life. It just wasn't my thing at the time. i introduced myself ,Greg Hardin, and asked him how he was. He said fine and asked me how I was related to Pastor Holland. I told him he was my Grandfather on my mothers side. He just smiled and said "boy I could tell you some stories" and laughed out loud! He then proceeded to tell me how he was named after my Grandfather and that my Grandmother, Bessie Holland drove 4 hours one night to pick him up from school when he was slapped by a resident advisor of a school he was attending. He stayed with my grandparents for almost a week because he was terribly afraid to call his grandmother to let her know he had left school. We talked for more than an hour and he told me things about my Grandparents I never knew. I got up and walked away after some time and my mother stopped me and asked me what we talked about. I told her about his stories and she just chuckled. Then she said "You do know who that is don't you?" I said no who is he? She replied "that's Ronnie Milsap" I said who is that? She just laughed and walked away!

what a sweetly wicked little tune, which must've inspired sting's 'every breath you take',
it can be seen as innocently a sincere love song, or something much more...complicated, haha!

I miss Ronnie Milsap! Just one of a kind. ♥️💋💯

teach jimmy and sasse band member the better points of mowing

BEAUTIFUL SONG 💕💕💕

Seen Ronnie a few years back in belcourt ND. Man, what a class act! From the opening song 2 the last, he had the place rocking! What a singer. This is why eye love country music!

You just gotta love those aviators and the sequins. Total badass.

Awesome song!

Classic!

Saw him in person. Sad, still love him.

Thank you Christine...

I find it funny that this is considered a breakup song, but if one was to listen to the undertone of this song's lyrics, you'll find it's a song about what stalkers do to women who wronged them. It's a classic nonetheless.

Now this is real music that I grew up with..Nothing like the crap that they have today.

35 years noy I have listen to more

I made my self w ,momas ingrédients.

Im white native ùsa citizen american made, irise

MAULKY ILL MCCLENDON

Ronnie Milsap is my cousin

Just a country music artist dipping his finger in the soft rock contemporary of his day. Love it!

Been revisiting my childhood country stuff lately & am so pleasantly surprised to rediscover Ronnie's music. It still sounds so good!!! Going through his catalog & loving every song I find! ❤🎵

Not crazy about country music but love Ronnie's music.

Ronnie Milsap is the Stevie Wonder of Country music 🎶❤️✨

Yep what class and get to see his class act in August.

a dog with rabbies is NOT TRANS

Darlin There Ain't No Getting Over Me..

Sounds like a marriage to me.

draining the swamp yeah utica

Ronnie, Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder all have these amazing smiles.

Tracey Swanson amen

all your shit is returned to sender spoon

A straight banger from Ron Ron

Never been to his concert. I was introduced to this song way back in 1981, when i first step my foot in Knoxville Tennessee, to study forestry at UT.

Glad you have been to Knoxville. Good Town for it's size. Good school. Both my parents got a degree there. I was born there.  Ronnie  Milsap  grew up less than 100 miles from there. His growing up story is a sad one, but he made it in spite of what happened.  Your" believe it or not"  tip for the week is : Those mountains you see in the back ground at Knoxville, are the oldest mountains in the world-- really. The Appalachians . We didn't know that when I grew up there. One way they know, is they are very worn down mountains, without jagged peaks, like other mountains have.

We all wish we weren't erasable v.v

4/20/2019 love the sax. Classic Milsap, get to steeping!

I agree

I just love this guy I know im old but shit this makes me feel good so get over it peace bother

That video of Las Vegas is the old Vegas . Great song , this guy has so many hits .

i would never get over him. my first love ❤️ lol

Man, I miss the early '80s, when country musicians and country music had such crossover appeal and was just awesome!!

Ronnie Milsap, Eddie Rabbit, Juice Newton, Kenny (of course), Alabama, Waylon, Willie, CDB, MTB... and let's not forget Jerry Reed!!

Loved this tune so much!!

Love this Song by a Beautiful Ronnie 💞💞💞💞💞💞

i like Ronnie Millsap music ❤

Condolences to the Milsap family.

Who died

How the heck can anyone give this classic tune a thumbs down?

Don;t have a clue.

0:34 is when or where he starts to sing

Be Still my Heart. Just awesome. Love Ronnie Milsap. Best ever! Thank you for entertaining us.

Is he as blind as Stevie Wonder? No vision at all? In 1981 our US president was Ronnie, too. Ronald Reagan.

Classic song! Don't hear music like this anymore!

Ronnie Milsap & Lacy J Dalton live outdoors at the Irvine Meadows 1979, cowboy hats and a 66 VW bus. Great memories : )

When country music was listenable in the 80's, the 90's went downhill.

Yeah, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill can stick it where the sun don't shine.

The most powerful voice I have ever had the privilege to be in vicinity of! Huge fan from NOLA

Huge fan here born in Texas and I been back with my Louisiana side of the family since I was 10 I was listening to Ronnie way before I left texas

I'll be the smile when there's noone around...

I like to thank Mr Clint Eastwood for introducing me to the music of a icon I never knew before thanks very much Sir

This was recorded three years before I was born. Love it!!
It's timeless. Like me. Lol, just kidding....

Ronnie is a fantastic singer

MrWierchawsky amen

This song reminds me of when I was a kid, I'd come home from school, and my mom would be cleaning the house, or cooking. And she'd be listening to her album's, playing her music real loud. I remember alway's hearing this song playing all the time. Wow, brings back soo many memorie's for me.

Paulboy Rocks my mom did the same now when I clean house I blast it.

Love this shit

I remember playing this in the 1980's and my neighbors where like my man's woman must have just left him....and this was big on black radio during that time.

Patch singing this to Bobby lmao

This song is way off. Something just sounds out of whack

Its just that you either have an ear for music or you don't.

A man in Tempe, Arizona played this song in the background while recording a suicidal message for his wife on his answering machine in the 1980's.  It was on a Rescue 911 episode.

The Greatest Blind Man

I adore this man and his music.

One of his best songs !

A true true talented singer. Not fake like Taylor Swift.

That velvet barritone is sweeter than Tupelo Honey.

- This Song always reminds me of you Pops❤💯

very nice song

1:14 right there he got you

I'm born and raised in Las Vegas Nevada and I love the opening scene that shows the old Vegas before they knocked everything down and built the huge monstrosities that exhist today. All of the up and coming pro boxing matches were held where he is performing.

My kind of music.

Love this song!

My father loved Ronnie Milsap
