Ty for sharing your songs n talents w us. Dan was such a smart n gifted writer and artist. This song makes me cry, but also, I just can relate to this song. Dan never did like to bring his friends into the limelight. The words are perfect! It is a true story and it is about his heart love, Jill. My first love when I was in school n a chance meeting. Mickey from New Orleans My all time favorite song.


Perhaps it is memories of that one live that didn't last, but perhaps. There are few songs in this world that will make me cry just about every time I hear it. Stewart from Currently Evansville, In.Interestingly, Pawtucket West Class of 1969, so a contemporary of both Jill and Dan. just wanted to share that he described what literally happened Of course there are many ways to interpret this beyond the reality of it. Fong from Californiai saw an interview with dan, he said that the "snow turned into rain" is what actually happened at the time.I'm quite amazed that his ex, Jill, kept the story to herself for so many years, instead of claiming her 15 minutes of fame, like so many others shamelessly do. He, like his ex-girlfriend, was protecting their privacy. After reading the story about the song I see that he was obviously being coy about its origin. His answer to them was that he believed it happened to someone, somewhere. Armin from Dallas/fort WorthI saw Dan in 1997 and when he introduced this song he said that people ask if it really happened.This song is heart-breaking & so wonderful. Singer/songwriters like Dan & Don McLean are the best. Phil from Auckland, New ZealandA great song has fantastic lyrics & a beautiful melody.The line “The snow turned into rain”, for me, has always meant tears. Even in high school he picked good songs “for us”. He has told me more than once that this is our song. In the last 40+ years we have run in to each other 50+ times. We both married other people, have grown children and have grown old ourselves. We live 10 minutes from each other in a major city. I broke up with him the summer after graduation. Sometimes Regretful from CaThis song came out when my first love and I were high school sweethearts.Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind The beer was empty and our tongues were tiredĪnd, as I turned to make my way back home I said the years had been a friend to her She would have liked to say she loved the man We took her groceries to the check out stand She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
