Newman, Randy - Losing You Lyrics

Beauty beyond words ___ a wonderful song

RIP Kobe

Genius.

I want this song played at my funeral.

The chord choice after he says "losing you" in the second half of the song is beautiful and pretty brilliant IMO. Up until that point the song is melancholy but that chord just pushes it over the cliff into true grief.

This song and Randy himself....Wow what a gift.

My cousin Zachary passed away I miss him so much that I cry

I'm always thinking: he can't sing - and as well I'm always thinking: no one does it better! Love it!

Mavis Staples covers this amazingly. What a great songwriter.

Randy Newman, what a gem!

A true master. He doesn't write and play for the fame. He writes and plays because that is simply what he was born to do.

Randy Newman doesn't just sing, he puts his heart and soul into every word.

Sixty-five people were actually heartless enough to give this a thumbs down.


Randy Newman is the best.

Just from how he's dressed, I'm pretty sure I know exactly what he smells like in this video.

..breathtakingly and agonizingly beautiful...Newman is a genius..

Planning a tribute video for the loss of our son to Vasculitis, a somewhat rare autoimmune disease. He was 25.

Man, the tears welled up with this song. There are times you just don't want to cry anymore. Don't touch the side of the tent when its raining. Don't listen to Randy when you can't bear to cry.

This song just makes me sad as hell.

It's the same progression or melody as the song he did for the farewell of Monk.. " think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone "

He never ceases to amaze. So much talent. So much talent

Having lost a 13-year old son in an automobile crash many years ago, I want Mr. Newman to know that his simple, pure song tells my story too.

He plays and sings from the heart. Always has.

This song cuts me right to the bone Every SIngle TIme I hear it

He writes songs from the Soul to reach the heart.

***Randy Newman ***

Genius.

Wow. What a gifted man. Writes the songs, plays the music and sings too. His voice is great. Love to listen to his music.

a master,,this song made me cry..and not many songs do..as many people point out its simple and complex..at the same time..thats great art IMO

Great song .

Awesome performance

His lyrics are so vivid & beautiful in songs like this and it’s why I never, ever tire of listening to him.

Thank you so very, very, much, Mr. Newman. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎼🎹🎼❤️❤️❤️

Respect and pure admiration.... pure art

So beautiful and so true. my idol

Genuine+ Authentic+Honest+ Deep= Randy Newman

This brings me to tears cos my brother lost his yongest son and he s trying to get over it but never will. Randy touches something deep in my heart and mind which is a WHOLE LOT
with his singing and playing and words all together

That was soooo sad

What a meaning behind the song. Makes it that much better.

Boom,right in the heart.

Your nephew bit the dust, must be pretty tough to deal with. Funerals are never a happy time for anyone.

Un Grand Artiste!!! Chapeau Mr Newman .

Depressing and this explains my mid life crysis.

BEAUTIFUL. JUST BEAUTIFUL....ALL THE WAY AROUND.

Amazing song

Cause I'll never get over losing you...

I admire you so much Randy, no one ever said "it's kind of a big idea" your in a class all your own, no fakers allowed.

I don't know of another music-maker capable of this combination of directness and sophistication.

Was a fool with my money
And I lost every dime
And the sun stopped shining
And it rained all the time
Did set me back some
But I made it through
But I'll never get over losing you
Do you know, I love you
Do you remember me
Should've told you
Cause it's true
I get over losing anything
But I'll never get over
Losing you
When you're young
And there's time
You forget the past
You don't think that you will
But you do
But I know
That I don't have time to wait
And I'll never get over
Losing you
I've been cruel
I've been hungry
Not for a while
I guess most of my dreams have come true
With it all here around me
No peace to I find
Cause I'll never get over losing you
No I'll never get over losing you

Une merveille absolue Monsieur Newman !!   Je vous connais depuis 35 ans et ne me lasserai jamais de votre talent exceptionnel !   D'une voix et d'un piano vous nous proposez  des mélodies accompagnées de vos paroles ou inversement terriblement touchantes et belles.  Je vous aime. Pierre.

guardian, rothschild is your boss and you're dogs

You've always been at arm's length, but I always felt like you understood. Your creations give hope to the young, and comfort to the rest of us. I stand in your debt.

OMG had to listen to this again how beautiful and how true.

Mr. Newman played this one tonight in Austin, and I cried halfway into the next song, I Love To See You Smile. Randy Newman is the only artist I love. I love the work of many artists, but as a person, I love only Randy Newman.

I'll never get over losing my Michelle to vasculitus. One always remembers the plans, the dreams and the good times we had. RIP Michelle. & also, Thanks Guardian for this poignant Newman piece.

Beautiful song. Reminds me of "Picture in a Frame" by Tom Waits.

I miss my Mom so much. Hasn't even been a year yet but I don't think I will ever get over it.

Like for toy story 3

His voice can be made fun, but no one can deny it comes from his heart.

I️ lost my daughter the day she was born... this song is one of the most affectionate I’ve ever heard...

Was a fool with my money
And I lost every dime
And the sun stopped shining
And it rained all the time
It did set me back some
But I made it through
But I'll never get over losing you

Do you know how much you mean to me?
Should've told you 'cause it's true
I'd get over losing anything
But I'll never get over losing you

When you're young
And there's time
To forget the past
You don't think that you will
But you do
But I know that I don't have time enough
And I'll never get over losing you

I've been cold
I've been hungry
But not for awhile
I guess most of my dreams have come true
With it all here around me
No peace do I find
'Cause I'll never get over losing you
No, I'll never get over losing you

Wow. That's the first time I've heard this song, so beautiful and so sad.

Living in las vegas and going thru the worst mass murder in this country this song is wonderful

Dear Randy you are my all time favorite singer/song writer. Once after a great amazing concert in New York City, I told you that we were both born Jewish in 1943 to which you responded "And therefore we will never feel at home in this world,." That was your exact response and it has stayed with ne ever since, I love your work!

Fabulous lyrics. Just superb. Poignant; deep; powerful.........just such a lovely song.

I really love randy newman. it's not just one or two or even three of his songs that evoke powerful emotions on me, it's all of them.
They're amazing

Pure genius!

This guy crushes it ALL THE TIME.

HeartBreaking.

This guy is the consummate songwriter-- like you said, simple & complex; bitter & sweet; personal & universal.

"Losing You"

Was a fool with my money
And I lost every dime
And the sun stopped shining
And it rained all the time
It did set me back some
But I made it through
But I'll never get over losing you

Do you know how much you mean to me?
Should've told you 'cause it's true
I'd get over losing anything
But I'll never get over losing you

When you're young
And there's time
To forget the past
You don't think that you will
But you do
But I know that I don't have time enough
And I'll never get over losing you

I've been cold
I've been hungry
But not for awhile
I guess most of my dreams have come true
With it all here around me
No peace do I find
'Cause I'll never get over losing you
No, I'll never get over losing you

These lyrics are as powerful as any I've ever experienced.

I've loved this man's music from the age of 12. He's got that magic of understanding the human condition.

Where's the twerking?

This guy is so good.Spread the word.More people have to know.

I remember Newman once giving another "story" behind this song; the story might actually be true, but something tells me he's kind of being his prankster self here.

There is another video of him describing the story and it was made a few years later. The story is basically the same - but he cannot remember the type of cancer - but just remembered that the boy died quickly.

birmingham

Bob Dylan. Mark Knophler. But maybe  the greatest song  writer ever, Randy Newman.

Like for Randy tho!!!

I'm sorry to hear hat Mr. Newman

After Short People, he hasn't written anything worth listening to.

McHale72 You know absolutely nothing. And Short People is almost a novelty song. Go to bed now and let the grownups talk.

we keep a lot of emotions to ourselves. your music lets us share the burden. thanks.

Rand has so many songs like this... none better than the others; one good example is "Everytime It Rains." I've adored him since he appeared, have studied him thoroughly throughout my adult life, and never, ever tire of not only his musical genius but also of his encyclopedic knowledge of all aspects of history and human experience. I met some of my heroes before they passed, like Lennon, Waylon, Segovia and many others. One of my regrets in life is never having met Rand's pal Harry, my greatest hero. Randy, you're on my bucket list - and I, too, am running out of time. Love you.

I hope you manage to meet him! Does he still do gigs/tours?

not that I know of, though he does appearances and certain events - not the ones I could get in to... thanks!

My wife and I saw him last year in Portland. An incredible set of songs, we were both in tears many times.

Listening to this song after losing my best friend. Wherever you go in this life, I miss you, I love you... and I'll never get over losing you.

fatty doo doo sent me here

beautiful song!

Randy Newman and Joni Mitchell are the only songwriters and performers I know who can paint so vivid a picture with their words and music. Extraordinarily gifted people, both of whom I never tire of.

Interesting that both Randy and Joni were born In November 1943 during WWII - some kind of cosmic kharma bringing us reality in song lyrics with incredible melodies. Wonder how the stars were aligned then.

Add John Print to that group.

They're not the only ones, but they are the cream of the crop for sure.

Hell yes

Billy Joel too, Piano Man

Achievement Hunter

My husband died June 5th 2015 and this song expresses that feeling of loss. I think you never get "over it" the real job is ACCEPTING the loss--is that even possible?

Yes, it's possible. It seems as if it won't ever happen, but it does. *HUGS*

I'm not sure, but you deserve some peace of mind. I hope you found some.
