Does this song bring back any memories to anyone?

The words for this romantic ballad of separation were written by Ron Webster, an amateur folk singer and silversmith living in the Solihull area of the Midlands. The inspiration came to him one rainy night when he was returning home from work on the upper deck of a Midland bus with wet and dripping windows. He wished he was somewhere where it was warm, not on a dripping-wet Midland bus. Roger Whittaker was hosting a radio series at the time and he invited his listeners to submit lyrics that he would put to music. Webster sent in "The Last Farewell," which Whittaker liked, and after putting his own music to Webster's words, he recorded it on his 1971 album Special Kind Of Man. Four years later an Atlanta radio station began to play the track after the wife of a programmer heard it on vacation in Canada. It was released as a single in the States, where it became Whittaker's sole Top 40 hit. It went on to become his biggest ever hit, selling over 11 million copies worldwide.

Yes, when I was younger my mother worked at a local department store. Every summer they would have a cookout at a local country club. My mother asked me to come so I did. There was someone that had a band and they played that day. This is one of the songs that they played.

I'd never heard it before this.

[YesterdaysChild]

Maybe it was more popular in the UK.

This is probably more a reflection on me lol

I don't think it was a top 40 hit so it dropped out if sight and mind. 😄😄

I've heard it. I had a 45 of it but I got rid of my records years ago. Faster to stick in a thumb drive with all my music on it. I'm sure it is on one of my home made CD's.

I remember the song. I would have been 15 when it came out. I was going through some stuff, but the song doesn't recall anything specific.
