This song for me has a completely different meaning then probably anyone here.
My dad died in the hospital much too young. He was coming home from a stay in the hospital. He signed his release papers and went back into his room to collect his things so that he could go home. Moments later he had a massive heart attack and died right there in his room. The hospital called my mom to tell her to come to the hospital, thinking it was to pick him up. She called me to meet her there. As we stepped off the elevator at the hospital I could tell by the look on the nurse's face at the nurses station, that something was wrong. This is when we found out my dad had died.
He had driven his self to the hospital so his truck was there and I had to drive it home... his personal belongings on the seat next to me folded neatly as my dad had left them. I turned on the radio... numb... and this song came on.
To me, this song has 2 meanings to me. 1) it is a song from my point of view, (all the verses, 'you were the first to be the last', as I am the last son of 3) and 2) it is my dad talking to me. (the chorus: 'wherever you go, I'll be with you')
He died in 1988, I was 22. To this day I get chills hearing it and it always reminds me of my good ol' dad. (and that ride home, crying) I love you dad. I'm sorry you aren't around to enjoy your grandkids. You have missed out on a lot, but not a day has gone by that I dont think of you.
There could not be a deeper more powerful way to express feelings through music than you did in your comment. I have to say your way of looking is without question a deep reflection. I am sorry for you losing your father, But the way you remember him ensures his place in your life will never be forgotten.

@azrock4ever I'm sorry for your loss. This beautiful song is a beautiful tribute to your dad. I'm glad it came on the radio at that moment for you. It really is amazing how those who have passed on can still communicate with us. Now I'll never forget your story when I hear the song. It gives me goosebumps as well.
