When this song became popular, I was teaching middle school choir. And for several years in a row my graduating 9th graders using to sing this for their parents at their graduation ceremony. The parents cried, the staff cried, and even the kids cried! This song seemed to mark a point of passage for everyone who heard it! Thanks Billy for writing the most beautiful love song

I was not surpiised to see Billy get up from playing, you could seethe sentiment growing inside as he played it, i was glad that he went back and finished it off, i have never heard anythong that is so imotionally charged as this lullabye to his daughter, but what he sung was really loving and i think will stay with me all my life, ther is no other song that can touch this, and i doubt there ever will be its beautiful and says so much, thanks Biily!!!!

Having become a mum myself back in May has definately opened the wound of grief again, knowing how much he would have loved to have been a granddad, and how proud he would have been to see his girls (my sister and me) become parents ourselves. This song says it all, really...

The longer version of the video: He couldn't finish the song, too emotional, reminded him of the breakup of his marriage and being away from his daughter...he walked off stage for a few minutes, recovered, and came back and finished the song for them...it took guts...the young audience knew it...but every one of them should have been on their feet at the end.

Yeah but also it's a live performance, doesn't have to play exactly the same as the studio version? Bear in mind he also probably hadn't played it in a while, without the music, and he mentioned it would be quite an emotional performance. He couldn't even get through it in one take... Not trying to change your mind necessarily, just saying that'd be contributing to what you heard.
