One of David Gates best songs. It has been covered numerous times - in various styles - reggae being the most common. That said Bread's original version is best. David G had an ability to write many brilliant ballads - Make It With You, If, Diary, Lost In Love and so on. He knew waht to state. A very powerful song. It can be relkated to loosing a lover or a parent. I think it is the latter.
The penultimate verse is so powerful and I wonder how many people weep on hearing it....
Is there someone you know,
your loving them so,
but taking them all for granted?
You may lose them one day.
Someone takes them away,
and they don't hear the words you long to say
