How is it a song for a Best Friend.??
Isn't it for a future husband
Am sending it to my guy friend
I'm leaving this comment so when someone likes it I can regain the memory of her again....
She was… She IS. ✨
They really dont make songs like this anymore. This is a gem in this day and age.
Its sad
Thank you!!
I agree with you.
This is so true.
Totally......everything just has a peppy tune🤕
My dad died last year from Covid...in a hospital bed by himself in NY. He got sick this week a year ago and died two weeks later. I watched the video for the first time today. I can't stop watching it and listening and just crying, crying and crying. I haven't been able to grieve properly. He wasn't buried...He's in an urn and hopefully sometime this year, I plan to put his ashes in the ocean. You spoke to my heart. Thank you.
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE
We will see them again!
im so sorry for your loss. Reading your comment breaks my heart. I lost my father when I was 15...I'm in my 30's now and just cried like a baby through this whole song. I know how much pain you are in right now, how intense that pain is, and even though you are a stranger I wish I could take it from you because I remember. It's okay to not be okay right now, and I promise there is an 'other side' even though it's impossible to see right now. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. Hang in there and hold on. ❤️
Much love❤️ I’m so sorry for your loss
I am so sorry for your loss. Dont give up.💕
"she's the best thing you'll ever have.." so grateful to hear this song
To us who grew up without fathers, thank you, they may never say it but you did it on their behalf 🌻💜
❤
11/22/23 AMEN!!
🥰
My mom did the job for my father, she said those exact words to my ex (as you can tell, he broke his promise, but kept the rest to this day, but as I always say "it's never too late to repair a broken promise, put all the faith in god and in the right time everything will be alright and see what the future holds" and my mother is the one who used to always say that to me, so I keep that in mind)
🫶🫂
Bro ...songs like these deserve a Grammy 😭
I see no lies
Fr
So true!
The Grammys are rigged for certain types of songs
Yes i agree
Hi Forest, My name is Doireann Sheehan. I'm the little girl in your video!! I had an amazing time doing it!! It was my first job, thanks for the oppurtunity. Btw, I love your music! My family have started listening to it a lot. Really hope you come to Ireland and perform a concert, some time soon!!
You did such an amazing job!!!! Thank you for being a part of my music video. How exciting to know it was your first job.
@@ForestBlakk Thank you so much for replying. Wish you the best.
You're stunning. Just beautiful..
You’re absolutely adorable ☺️
oh my God girl you’re stunning!! amazing job❤️
How blessed to those daughters who have great dads out there. I wish my daughter someday will have a great dad, too.
lyrics: Take it If she gives you her heart, don't you break it Let your arms be a place she feels safe in She’s the best thing that you'll ever have [Verse 1] She always has trouble falling asleep And she likes to cuddle while under the sheets She loves pop songs And dancing, and bad trash TV There’s still a few other things She loves love notes and babies And likes giving gifts Has a hard time accepting a good compliment She loves hеr whole family And all of her friends So if you'rе the one she lets in [Chorus] Take it If she gives you her heart, don't you break it Let your arms be a place she feels safe in She’s the best thing that you'll ever have She’ll love you, if you love her On days when It feels like the whole world might cave in Stand side by side and you’ll make it She’s the best thing that you'll ever have She’ll love you, if you love her like that [Verse 2] Kiss her with passion as much as you can Run your hands through her hair whenever she’s sad And when she doesn’t notice how pretty she is Tell her over and over So she never forgets [Chorus] Take it If she gives you her heart, don't you break it Let your arms be a place she feels safe in She’s the best thing that you'll ever have She’ll love you, if you love her On days when It feels like the whole world might cave in Stand side by side and you’ll make it She’s the best thing that you'll ever have She’ll love you, if you love her like that [Bridge] She’ll love you If you love her like that She’ll love you If you love her [Outro] On days when It feels like the whole world might cave in Stand side by side and you’ll make it She’s the best thing that you'll ever have She’ll love you, if you love her like that
It hits different when you wish you had a father who would say this to your future husband. And that just hurts.
I was just thinking that p__q
Same here...
ouch haha
Agreed 💔
Im with you.. 24 with no papa.. Lost him may 19 2019
Typing through tears. My wife showed me this song. I'm a father to two girls--13 and 6. I was diagnosed 3 years ago at age 41 with stage IV cancer. This song wrecks me because it's pretty small odds I will see their weddings or meet the boys they marry. My 13 year old put together a play list I could listen to during chemo today. I made one and sent it back to her and included this song for her. Thank you. It's beautiful and it's how I feel about my little girls. My youngest daughter has jet black hair and blue eyes and marble skin and will probably look a lot like this bride in the video when she's grown.
I'm so sorry about your diagnosis. A few years ago, I saw where a mom who had a terminal condition made videos giving her daughter advice she thought she might need as she grew up. I don't know if that is something that would work for you but just wanted to share it. You may have already thought of this, but you might make at least one video telling them how much you love them. Just me thinking out loud.
@@pamb5186 Yes, thank you. I have made videos for my kids after the manner you describe. I have also written each of them their own letters. I have also created a private family Gmail account that I send regular emails to with advice as I think of it. I have little audio files that I've made for special occasions that I've pretimed to be sent via email. I believe it will be important to them some day to hear my voice say 'I love you' or 'Hapoy Birthday'
Beautiful
I wish you the best on your journey.
Truly best wishes for your journey. And for your daughters ❤ Hope them can find their future partners who love them like you ❤
I never thought I would be taking dating advice from a song, but here I am in a healthy 8 month long relationship and still going strong
Love to hear that!
Congratulations
My daughter is 8 months old but I’ve already decided I’ll dance with her to this song on her wedding day.
Surely that's her choice 😂 Can't claim to be an excellent Dad who truly loves a daughter without question or fault, if you would insist on a song on her special day that she may not even like 🙈
@@vixenvictoire5328shhhhh
Moral of the song: love her like her dad did or never had the chance to, and she'll be the best thing you'll ever have! Good luck, guys! You can do this 😌
I'm trying for my gf of a year and a half. Her father isn't really a good person from within the household and the family circle but appears nice to outsiders or friends. She never got the affection or close love needed. Never had a man taking care of her. I'm really happy I can provide this for her. She loves all the little things so much like just being cuddled and held in my arms. Can't believe I've found such a perfect person. I just want to say love is out there for everyone just waiting. But you do need God's help to better yourself and be who you aspire to be. He will guide you. I'm just really grateful for everything I have.
Beautiful! I am so happy for you 😊 may God continue to bless you and your relationship 🙏
@@s.h.3622 Thank you
@@ek7407 beautifully said. Hope to find someone that's loves me like you love her. She is blessed to have you.
Samara you have gorgeous hair.
Let's be honest, I know I'm not the only grown man who cried hearing this!
Nope, you’re definitely not alone on that one
This shows as a dad to daughter song. I take it as a man to wife song.
Been listenin to this on and off all day and bein a dad myself it hits hard but also on the other hand i see it from a person who truly loves a special lady as i do so for me its both great song
God no I’m at work trying to stare at a screen with watery eyes lol
No you are not alone here:)
My Dad passed away 5yrs ago and this song brings memories of me and my Dad. I love you Dad. 😭😭😭💔🙏🏻🕊️
He is resting in peace an watching over you ❤️
Day after tomorrow will be 3 years since my dads death. I feel you 💙
Only once in a life time a girl like this will come across your life so don't lose her guys🥺
We lost our daughter Sophie, two years ago from cancer, aged 16 years old. This song has made me cry non stop since i saw it. If only I had the chance to see her walk down the aisle with the second best man in her life. These would be the exact words I would tell him. She still is the most precious person in my life. I can't wait to see her again when my time comes.
God. So sorry to hear that.
I’m so sorry for your loss 🎗🎗🎗
❤🙏
So very sorry for your loss bud
I lost my Dad a year ago and this is what I also tell myself and it somehow consoles me, that I'll be able to meet him again when my time ends. I hope your daughter will be happy watching over your family till she meets you again.
these kind of songs are so rare these days, i rlly want more songs like this. its so beautiful and meaningful
Thank you

Amazing song ❤ I never had a good relationship with my dad but it’s truly heartwarming to see amazing dads out there. Girl with amazing dads, love and appreciate him wholeheartedly. Some of us will never have that experience.
I completely agree with you I had a rocky relationship with my dad. He died of a drug overdose 6 months ago I miss him so much 😢 I know how you feel. 😢
Me too ❤ my dad isn't in my life, that's a choice I made and I will never regret, but it's lovely to see what a really special relationship some daughters have with their Dads and it's every bit as special as the relationship I have with my sons and as they have with their Dad ❤
My dad passed when I was 13. My mom and I loved this song and decided it was what I was going to walk down the isle to. My mother passed 2 months ago. I get married in 3 weeks. I listen to this daily and still cry. Thank you for making this song, you'll never know how much it means to me.
Sending prayers and love your way. I hope you've been doing okay. U deserve all the happiness bestie. Also, congratulations and may you have a long, happy marriage❤
TODAY IS THE DAY GUYS!
@@meghanhamilton4938 Girl I am so happy for you!! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together and a love that grows stronger with each passing day!💝

Well I wasn't expecting to cry like that.
Neither was I 😭👌🏻
It hit me too because I'm a big softy 😊☺😊☺
I know right
Me neither
Same
I'm crying right now... The best song I've ever heard about the bonding and love between a dad and daughter... I feel blessed to have a father who loves me exactly like this beautiful song. He never directly says everything but he loves and cares for me the most, even more than he loves my mom. This song reminded me again how important fathers are in our life. He always supports me in everything I do, he's always there when I need him, always guides me, protects me, never made me do something I don't want to, has given me freedom to live my life as I would want, he only wants to see me happy... I know one day he won't be there to hold me when I'll be scared, when I'll need his strength and just thinking about this is already breaking my heart. Dad I promise I'll work hard to make you feel a proud dad one day. Your girl won't disappoint you. Thank you for everything... Please be by my side for a long long time and I love and respect you so much!!!
whose watching this masterpiece song in 2024
One of the greatest songs. I'm having this played at my wedding. 😊
To all the little girls and boys who didn't get loved like that, you deserve so much more. To all the fathers and mothers giving their little girl or little boy away who loved them like that, thank you. To all the men and women who will love those little girls and boys like that, never stop.
Thanks. Lost my dad at 12. This means a lot
This is such a sweet and also very profound message 🩵🤍🩵
I just got married a month ago to the best man I’ve ever met. My brother, who is the best brother a girl could possibly have, walked me down the isle because my dad died when I was 2 years old. I wouldn’t change anything about my life because God has a way of making beauty from ashes. But I sure cried at the end of this video, because that sure hit home. What a beautiful song and video!!
All the best for you and your family... Specially for your brother. ❤️
I have type 2 depression
Laugh with my videos
I used to listen to this song everyday when it first came out, it feels like yesterday ,damn time flies
I just recently heard this song and I have been playing it on repeat for the past few days... I had to have open heart surgery back in December for a quadruple bypass at the age of 36. I have a young daughter and this song has just made me realize that this life we have is so precious and it should not be taken for granted. This song makes me want to fight for her and be able to make it to her wedding one day. Thank you Forest!
You will make it!
Songs like this will make you realize how short our lives are to waste on nonsense things instead of spending them with our loved ones.
My fiance passed away a few years ago and he taught me to live everyday like my last. Soooo soo many people just don't understand.
~*🦋~*
I grew up thinking my Dad would walk me down aisle. I always imagined we would dance to Butterfly Kisses at my wedding, the way did every we did at every father daughter dance from the time I was 7 til my senior year of high school. And he would make a corny joke, just to keep us both from crying. But Covid interfered with wedding planning, and Cancer took Daddy from me in October. I have been so so so devastated about it. This song makes me feel like that dance won't be completely gone. He may not be with me, but I know this is how he felt. Thank you so so so much for this.
I'm so sorry for your loss. My dad was taken from cancer in 2014 we used to dance to that song aswell I always wanted to play it on my wedding with my dad and that won't happen now. I am getting married July 17th and this song is amazing.
I am so sorry for your loss (main comment and reply). I am glad you find comfort in this song. Sending you much love.
I accidentally found this song while looking for another song. My fiancé and I fell in love with it because it sum us up so perfectly! Might be our wedding song❤️
My mom found this song for us, and I walked down the aisle to it in October ❤️😭 my husband loved it.
Do it. My wife and I danced to this as our first dance last month
I want to walk down the isle at my wedding to this song 🥰
Heard this song for the first time today! I was looking for songs to do my first dance to for my wedding in June. Right when I heard this, I knew it had to be this song. Thank you so much for this masterpiece!!!! 😭😭😭
Take it When she gives you her heart, don't you break it Let your arms be a place she feels safe in She's the best thing that you'll ever have She always has trouble falling asleep And she likes to cuddle, all under the sheets She loves pop songs and dancing and bad trash TV There's still a few other things She loves love notes and babies and likes giving gifts Has a hard time accepting a good compliment And she loves her whole family and all of her friends So if you're the one she lets in Take it When she gives you her heart, don't you break it Let your arms be a place she feels safe in She's the best thing that you'll ever have She'll love you if you love her On days when It feels like the whole world might cave in Stand side by side and you'll make it She's the best thing that you'll ever have She'll love you if you love her like that Kiss her with passion as much as you can Run your hands through her hair, whenever she's sad And when she doesn't notice how pretty she is Tell her over and over, so she never forgets Take it When she gives you her heart, don't you break it Let your arms be a place she feels safe in She's the best thing that you'll ever have She'll love you if you love her On days when It feels like the whole world might cave in Stand side by side and you'll make it She's the best thing that you'll ever have She'll love you if you love her like that She'll love you if you love her like that She'll love you, she'll love you She'll love you if you love her like that Oh, oh, yeah Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah She'll love you, she'll love you, she'll love you She'll love you if you love her On days when It feels like the whole world might cave in Stand side by side and you'll make it She's the best thing that you'll ever have She'll love you if you love her like that
Almost
You got some words wrong BUT ALMOST
Absolutely beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much.
@@oblivixus7473 you have to tell Google - it’s copied from there🙄
My daddy was murdered when I was 1 year and two months old to the day. I'm almost 52 now. I cry when I see commercials or movies of a daddy dancing at the wedding or walking her down the isle. Letting her dance on his feet as he's dancing. It breaks my heart to this day that I didn't get to know that kind of love. It's a beautiful song!!
Sorry We are here for you
Im 13 and my dad passed away when i was only 2 so ik how you feel it hurts me but i now have a step dad whos helped my mom raise me sience i was little and im very grateful for him god bless you and i hope you get to see him again some day❤️❤️❤️

I wish everyone has a father like that because I never had one.
Hopefully you become a father/mother like that
Same here! It was a big loss in life!
Wishing I had a Dad like that too...
Same.. I’ve always wanted that father daughter bond. I know when we have children my partner will be the bed dad ❤️
I never had my Mother or Father and it is a horrible feeling! I felt unwanted for many years! Thankfully my grandparents were very loving! There was a major age gap between us though!
As a single father, i thank you for this :')
If this song doesn’t play on my wedding, I’m leaving.😭
The vibe of this song was on next level
I didn't find any lyrics soo here's the lyrics if y'all want. Take it If she gives you her heart Don't you break it Let your arms be a place She feels safe in She's the best thing that you'll ever have She always has trouble Falling asleep And she likes to cuddle While under the sheets She loves Pop songs And dancing, and bad trash TV There's still a few other things She loves love notes and babies And likes giving gifts Has a hard time accepting A good compliment She loves her whole family And all of her friends So if you're the one she lets in Take it If she gives you her heart Don't you break it Let your arms be a place She feels safe in She's the best thing that you'll ever have She'll love you If you love her On days when It feels like the whole World might cave in Stand side by side And you'll make it She's the best thing that you'll ever have She'll love you If you love her like that Kiss her with passion As much as you can Run your hands through her hair Whenever she's sad And when she doesn't notice How pretty she is Tell her over and over So she never forgets Take it If she gives you her heart Don't you break it Let your arms be a place She feels safe in She's the best thing that you'll ever have She'll love you If you love her On days when It feels like the whole World might cave in Stand side by side And you'll make it She's the best thing that you'll ever have She'll love you If you love her like that She'll love you If you love her like that She'll love you If you love her She'll love you If you love her like that She'll love you She'll love you She'll love you She'll love you If you love her On days when It feels like the whole World might cave in Stand side by side And you'll make it She's the best thing that you'll ever have She'll love you If you love her like that
You are the best
I started out for one.. thankyou😻
Thanks mate 🤙
tysmm :)
Thanks :)
My dad just send me this and told me that he heard it on the radio yesterday. I didn't know what to expect but after 10 seconds I was just crying. Thank you for this Forest
Ok it was maximum 5 seconds 😅
You're blessed to have a father who loves you like that.
Same, 30 secs in and I'm crying my eyes out 😂😢
Black Forest! I just listen to this song on Fox 5 Good Day New York and immediately rush to KZhead. Wow absolutely beautiful amazing song 😢 pristine vocals clean cut.👍🏾
How am I only hearing this beauty now?! Waw.
Sir I dont appreciate you making me cry that was a beautiful song
@Zizi Hranglim Lol right?
My wife and I separated earlier this year and I heard this tonight for the first time.. this is exactly how I feel every single day, picturing what I could tell the man she ends up with if she ever ended up with another. We've known eachother for 11 years, pretty much grew up together, and know everything about eachother. She ended up not being happy and you can't force love. Never thought I'd be starting my life over again at 33, but this song gives me hope that if she ever remarried, she'd find a man who will love her even a fraction of the amount that I did.
😭😭😭
What happened meanwhile? Any news?
Yeah,when one person is falling out of love,we can never force it to remain,however though it is painful and heartbreaking but in order to profess how we care and love them we let them go
bruh T-T
What you felt for her... Its true love.
This song isn't just beautiful, it's a reminder that everyone deserves to be treated right. Thank you Forest! There could not be a better message then this one! ❤
You are one of the Best Composers and artist ever. You write, play and sing from your heart. Thank You
My Dad passed away 5days ago and this song got me in tears Dad i miss you😢
Stay safe 🙏
Your dad will be happy if he can see these words
Vladimira Petrušovà stay safe you too🙏
@Firaol Kenassa Thank You❤
Sorry for ur loss
I heard this and my 17 year older daughter just started dating a young man who treats her like an angel. I did the ugly cry when I heard this this song. Man it’s scary to watch your baby girl grow up into a woman who falls in love. Wow!! Beautiful song.
I know the feeling I'm going through that with 2 of my girls 18 & 16 and its so hard to let my babies grow up, I have 2 more to cry and worry through but she's 11 I still have time, but I have only one son I think that will send me over the ledge. Good luck Let's hope for no broken hearts,
@@lostinwonderland6873 Oh God bless you. I have two adult sons and one just got engaged. I was Leary of the girls with them but my baby girl is with me all the time and now it’s school, ball practice and him. She came home after practice on Thursday because she missed me. She’s usually home around 9 and straight to bed. I now understand the saying that they step on your toes when they’re little and they step on your heart when they grow up.
@@pamelam7026 they sure do. I would give anything to have a messy home with little kids things they made, now I have a clean house but miss my tiny babies. I tell my niece she has a 3 year old don't get mad treasure all this madness one day you'll miss it. We live in South Texas and it does not snow here and we had so much snow and at least for a moment I had my little ones back playing in the Snow together. My daughter is going into the Police Academy so I don't know how I'm going to handle her being away. My only son is girl crazy and I don't like that but I'm going to be force to just smile, I'm lucky he has 3 sisters to protect his heart.
How come i just already know this song exists? for the sake of God, I immediately cried when I heard the first verse of this song. a father's sincere love for his daughter is real and its so beautiful. someday i'll definitely play this song on my wedding. Thank you for creating a song full of heartwarmth feels. God bless u 🤍
impossible not to cry from 3:00. a true masterpiece Forest Blakk, thanks for that!!!
I love and appreciate they chose an “older” woman as opposed to a younger woman to play the bride. Thank you for such a beautiful song and video.

Please be with me
I’m getting married this Sunday (December 20, 2020) and we will be using this song for our first dance. ❤️ Thank you Forest Blakk for your inspiration and amazing voice.
Best wishes to you and your future person ❤❤.
That was my birthday...and it was a day that I broke open to love again. At 42, lol. I hope you had an amazing wedding and have an even more beautiful life together.♥️
Best wishes to u❤
Her father's smile before leaving was like the last ever smile my dad gave me before leaving for eternity❤
Am here from love is blind.Beautiful song !!!!
why is this song underrated?!? this is such a beautiful song
When you're young, life feels like everything will stay the same. But then you quickly grow up and realize nothing lasts forever. And just like that, the ones who raised you, held you and cared for you fade to dust. But the truth is they don't truly die; there's a part of them still alive. And it is YOU.
God that hit me right in the heart. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment. I just lost my Dad in April if this year and I miss him so much it still hurts and bad but I do know I am a lot of him as well as my dear Mother. Thank you I needed to have that reintereated to me.
@@sandyyoung-boling9336 wisdom!!!
Thank you for reminding.
listening to this song knowing I never got the chance to have the father daughter bond really breaks me...thank you for the song ❤️
Lost my dad 3 months after the release of this video. It’s as if you had a peek inside mine and my fathers life. Down to the dress and boots, the bad trash tv. Never heard anyone else use that phrase. He was cremated. Just about every line was our life. I listen to this song every day. It has been my therapy through grieving. And now, I watch it and smile and laugh at how it has brought me full circle. You’re a very talented, wisdom with words, musician. I love to hear the stories you write and sing. Thank you.
A little over a month ago, I met the most amazing woman of my whole life. We connected so quickly and like we knew each other forever. We FaceTimed for hours and just got to know the real versions of each other and I felt comfortable telling her how I deal with mental health and getting through each day. We had the greatest date ever, I brought her roses in her favorite color, we hit the mall, got food, went on a hike, went to sit in massage chairs and she’s the best kisser I’ve ever met. On the car ride back home, I opened the sun roof on my Ford Focus at night and I played her this song. I listened to this song beforehand and it made me think of her so I played it and we held hands to it, kissed each others dorsal (back of the hand) and even thumb wrestled for the heck of it. When we separated, we gave each other a nice big hug and a huge kiss (a decent amount of time) and she said “well save the rest for tomorrow”. Few days later, the worst news of my life :( she passed away unexpectedly. Every time I’ve listened to this song since, it brings me back to a moment of happiness but not without a few tears (or a lot). I hope she knew how much I cared about her. I miss her so much.
Oh , I’m so sorry 😢 my friend , you lose someone that you really connected with. You are in my prayers.
Omg thats terrible :( Just know that shes always gonna look down at you and wait till the moment she can see you again and wrap her arms around you :)
Wish you all good blessings for you... She knew it, I'm sure of that
She lives inside you , with your soul❤️❤️ Live for her ......
prayers up for you big man
Man, this song is the most touching song I've ever heard
Missing my dad today. This song always helps ❤️ Thank you
Take it. If she gives ur her heart, don't u break it.💙
I'm trying to beat my depression, and God knows how hard it is This song is magical Love it so much Thank for doing it
We stay strong✊
Hey chuck, I don’t have depression, and I know it may not mean much from some dude on the internet. But for better or for worse, everyone needs you for something. You have use, and you matter. I hope you beat this.
You can beat it . We are all there for you ❤️ from India.
Thanks for that This song is so good, it helps me and gives me hope, even though the times are hard, even if my soul cries when I listen to it, it conveys a beautiful message and i do my best Thanks for the messages, may you all be blessed and happy !
Keep strong! You ll win . Have a great year
I never had a good relationship with my father. So hearing this song makes me cry puddles, because it’s the only thing I ever wanted.
Yep. Not me at 3am listening to this, 6 days before my wedding, bawling my eyes out . Didn't realise that's what this song was about. I decided to find the music video and now I don't think I can walk down the isle to it
You know when other girls said, "my dad is my first love".. I only wish they realize how lucky they are to be able to said such thing. Hugs to everyone here. Let the past be the past. I pray that every wounds will all be fully healed, and we can live life to the fullest gracefully with gratitude & wisdom we harvest from our wounds.
I dont think it necessarily has to be a message from a father. Could be same thing said from a mother or a grandparent. Any other figure who loves you and wants the best for you.
Forgive and forgot Because we don’t know about tomorrow With lots of love Arun
@@arunog2073 Thanks 🌹
It would be nice to be loved like this exactly what a lot of women want in their love story❤
Yes typing through tears,❤. Such a song I will never forget it.
i dont have a dad, he left my mam when she was pregnant with me, but when listening to the lyrics, it can be taken from so many different perspectives, just the one person who has always had your back and has always been with you from the start, the one person who you want to walk you down the aisle, that person is who you should think about. for me its my grandad, hes been with me since i was a little girl and loves me no matter what i chose in life.
Same here my dad left me twice before actually leaving when I was 6y I have a step dad now he’s awesome but I still wonder sometimes where my biological dad is I don’t care about him anywhere but I wonder sometimes and think how can a person be cruel
What a beautiful song. I’m fortunate and so thankful that my Dad is still with me in this world. I’m praying that he’ll be there one day when it’s the right time for me to get married 🥺
Lord, thank you for the "Blessings" you've given to us. Amen! 🙏😇❤
Being a 15 year old Indian daughter I know that these few thing that I see in the western countries I will never get to experience like my dad walking me down the aisle but I love my dad and I especially realised it after his 3 heart attack he is strong and survived . 1 like from this was bought tears to my eyes and tbh my dad hates the thought of marrying me off because he thinks no one is worthy!
aww that's cute
Couldn't relate better to anyone else❤️ I hope you and your family stays safe
That's so deep ❤️
Wow❤️
Wishing best for his health❤❤🤞🏻
This will always be one of my favorite songs ❤️
This will always be one of my favorite comments
same...~*🦋~*
I just found this song and already love it. I recently lost my bf in a hiking accident and ik this is ment for a father talking, but I feel like he would say this as well
Sorry for your loss....😢
this song bring tears , thankyou 🥲
A guy in my neighborhood would sing this song every evening sitting by the window and I'd always listen to him in my room. I never got to know his name. Now that he had already moved out from that house, I'd listen to this song to remember him again💕
an incomplete love story
It's like my dads words being sung so my future husband can hear them from heaven. A true masterpiece.
Hey
@@st0rm244 yo
I just heard this song on the radio and it stopped me in my tracks. It is a masterpiece. I’m working away from my girls at the moment but will see them in a few days and I can’t wait. This song really shows that bond between a father and his daughters and it is a bond like no other. The moment I land back at home and see their faces again my heart fills with joy and sings with the love I have for them. I love nothing more than to see them happy and would take away any pain or anything that upsets them in a moment and suffer it myself for an eternity rather than see them sad for a moment. Thank you for this song, it is beautiful.
The girl I love is literally the only thing I can think of when I hear this song. I’m currently really overwhelmed with feelings of love for her because we’re not dating but this song just helps me to calm down and feel better. It’s also encouraged me massively to tell her how I feel when we next see each other.
oh my goodness please update when you've had the chance to speak to her, I wish you all the best!!
Just remember if she is not the one there is someone else waiting to come in that you will in time realise what a hidden blessing that was. It happened to me but thankfully the universe knew better than me. Either way it will happen ❤️
I feel you brother
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi ! Just heard this song on the finale of "love island USA"...I fell in love with it and had to find it! Beautiful song, will definitely be a favorite for years to come!! Cheers from Canada 🤟🥰
Nikola Foster-King love it!!!! Go Canada!!

This is exactly how I feel about my lady...I cry everytime I hear it because she is definitely the best thing I'll ever have and I know I'm blessed and will love her everyday.. amazing song... for an amazing woman...my girl...
Bless you..
She's lucky to have you :)
Oh yes
Well after she saw the video...she cried and it wasn't long before she just told me she couldn't do it anymore...it broke my heart to no end...but I had to let her walk away...the best thing I ever had... don't even know what happened and why...I just had to walk away... been hard to forget her...best of luck to everyone here
@@gregoryscearce4110 😢😢😢😢😢😢 dw dear stranger Time will heal everything stay strong
Leaving this comment because when someone likes it I can listen this song and start thinking about her 😶
bro u can listen it rn
@@user-wc4nt6dc1w thanks bro 😔
This song saved my life, when times where dark it gave me a motivation and curage to carry on. Every line in this song is relatable.
Imagine a son dedicating this song to his mother's boy friend or his step father 🥺😭
Honestly that's the image I had at the beginning. 😀
What ? This songs about a daughter love for her Father.
@@YesYourRight yeah we get that. But the lyrics can be applied to any of the scenarios.
Or someone who has to give her/his child up for adoption due to financial reasons.
I wish me and my dad had this kind of relationship. I love seeing people having good relationships with their parents, you guys have such an amazing bond
He needs you more then you know... He loves very much❤
Well i think my perents hate me instead of loving me they always fighting with me over the smallest mistakes i make even when i scratch my body with wounds im a dieicbetic so my wounds heal longer then poeple that dont have it even then i get yelled at for falling and i been depressed for 7 years lost loads of family and idk how im i holding up but im still holding
@@BigLuhandre16 im sorry, i get how you feel. my dad acts like that alot. its not easy. but it does get better, i promise 💗
3 years I've been listening to this, and now my daughter is almost 2, it makes you think a lot... it's beautiful and makes me sad at the same time
My fiance sent this song to me. The very first song he ever sent me n it means the world to me. Thank you Forrest!!!❤️😭
Made me 😭 Father is always the first love of a daughter before any other man comes into her life. This just made me miss dad so much.
no xd
but i am sorry for you :/
