  • I first watched this video back in 2008 when my son was 3 and my daughter was 7. It made me feel good to know that I was not alone in the universe. I come back to watch it now and in a more melancholy state wish I could have those times back again... They grow up way to quick don't they. Thank you.

  • Awesome I am 12 and love this song I'm subbing and liking it

  • Since few years I was waiting for your album. I just saw it on iTune this morning. I'm going to buy it right now !

  • Love love love this! Thank you so much!

  • man he is good!!

  • My "little one" is now 42, but this brings back memories. The frustrations of parenthood are so worthwhile

  • AAAAAAAAUGH! SHE'S STARING RIGHT AT ME! lol

  • Comment removed

  • This is one of the most touching things I have evern seen on YouTube, and I can never watch it enough.

    what I want to know, who are the eight idiots who didn't like it?

  • Saw you last night at FBC!!

  • David Crawford, you are truly a genius - thank you for putting such truth and hilarity and tenderness into song. I love it. Cate (mom of 2 girls in Colorado) (Have you been spying on us or what? How do you know all those things?)

  • This has been one of my favorites for years. I love finding out ordinary people like me are, in fact, brilliant :)

  • I laughed so hard at the she's staring at me, "Aagh!!!" Done that very thing, and really did almost wet the bed and let her climb in bed a snuggle close to me. I love love love it. The best is the snuggle with your daughter at the end. I have three girls 6 and under and this might be our new theme song. Love love love it. Thank you!!

  • hilarious! well done!

  • I know the pain! I have two kids who don't want to go to sleep tonite... about 3am in the morning... your wonderful song is helping me have the strength to deal with them when I want nothing more then sleep. God bless!

  • LOVE IT!

  • i remember seeing this video 2 years ago

    i love this song

    ive been looking for this video for so long

  • lol

  • sweetest song ever!

  • Very self explainatory! Bedtime and getting up can be really rough on parents! I loved your song!

  • great song and very clever.

  • I love this song. I have been trying to find it again for ages. So glad to have listened to it again.

    Your little ones are the luckiest kids in the world.

  • Everytime i see this i think about my poor parents;D

  • love this video:) make me miss my dad.

  • Made me cry and made me appreciate the whining just a little bit more. they are so sweet once they are asleep, aren't they? :)

  • This one is a big favorite.... I play it when I get overwhelmed being a dad... thanks for putting our frustrations to music!!!

  • OK, when's the CD coming out, no, the TV show?

    What a gift for fatherhood, song and humor, all in one!

  • I also watch this every few months when I feel low on patience! This too also brings tears to my eyes. I LOVE it!!!!

  • Like the previous poster, I too watch this every few months and each time I smile through most of it and tear up during the last part. Fabulous to invoke those kinds of emotions with a 4 minute song. How lucky your daughters are.

  • This is on of those videos I have to watch every few months again and again - I love it!

    "My mind's a wreck, I keep hearing songs from Shrek"

    Thank you for your little ditty!

  • I refer to this video sooooo often!!! It has been years since I first saw it, but it still has the same effect on me every time. Thank you so much for being so creative...and for being the seemingly loving dad you are with your daughter. I couldn't have said it any better!!!

  • It'll be all worth it when they're parents...believe me...I know. My children have grown up to be wonderful, accomplished women and have given me 2 beautiful grandchildren with 2 more on the way. I can't wait.

  • Brilliant and inspired!

  • This is about the cutest thing I've ever heard! Keep it up!

  • Please make more videos! Their AWESOME!!!

  • More! Make more videos!

  • Thanks for helping me to remember that being a parent isn't easy for anybody, even those in two parent households.

  • This makes me tear up every time. Thank you and God bless your beautiful family. It's a wonderful life, isn't it?

  • I found this video ages ago and loved it. After much searching (brain gone since having kids! lol) and with many thanks to my friend JV I can enjoy it all over again.

    Just brilliant, thank you:-)

  • My 6 y/o son has been asking for "the man in blue" song, so I did a search and found this video again. We love it here!

  • I love it !!!! Thanks for the honesty and yes at the end of the day our children are a blessing from God :)

  • thats my teachers husband! OMG

  • My kids always want to watch this before bed :)

  • I stumbled across this clip months ago - thank you for offering perspective in such a commical way - tears and smiles at the same time.

  • God bless you for your humor in the midst of much demand. It encourages so many parents and brings great medicine these times. Laughter!

  • 1st saw this about 6 months ago.... I still come back to watch it every now and again. You are awesome. Pure genius! Thank You!

  • @ted4442 I'm the same way.  It's been a year and a half and I still have days that bring me back!

  • LOVE it!!!

  • CANNOT STOP WATCHING!

  • lol coolness.:)

  • Excellent! Cannon with a country twang;-) *****

  • I can't stop watching this.

    I think this is the either the eighth or the NINTH time I have watched this.

    IT WON'T BE THE LAST.

  • The smallest one is crying "Won't you hold me?" like she's dying.

  • Watching it again.

    I can't stop.

    I'll NEVER be able to.

  • I found myself humming this n my sleep.

    I love the way you put it.

    Please do a version of Fur Elise.

  • Pachelbel.

    THAT IS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS.

  • You are amazing. I share this one with all my friends. You should have an DVD or album. I would love to see you on Comedy Central.

  • i have 3 boys, i wish i could sing this to them!!

  • Keep it coming! Can't wait to see what you'll come up with next. Really captures every aspect of being a parent...and I can't help but laugh (at myself) when I hear the exact words/thoughts I've "muttered" on too many occasions. Rock on, friend!

  • It's not fair, I just told my son off for going out, and now I feel really guilty!!

  • I LOVED this... So funny!!!

  • Just found this last week, and finally gave it a listen! You always were such a great songwriter and storyteller, I would have expected nothing less than this level of excellence from you! Sure can tell how happy and content your life is...keep on singing about it, and sharing it, too! Always wondered where you got to:-)

  • i love this song!! i can relate with 3 little girls. 3, 18 months, and 6 months. every lyric is completely accurate on my everyday life =]

  • LOVE IT! The lyrics are perfect, and with two of my own (8 and 12 years old), I can totally relate.  Bless you! P.S. Your family is so fortunate to have you...

  • PURE GENIUS! God bless my friend!

  • From one dad to another, absolutley perfect. When i'm running low on patience or running low on energy i hear your version of Pachelbel's Canon D in the back of my mind and the humor of the difficulty makes such light or the situation. What else can you do other than go all in. They try to drive us mad but we've got one up one up on them... They're our kids and no matter how insane they drive us you and i both know we wouldn't have it any other way.

  • Love this song. I listen to it frequently and it always makes me smile. Thanks!

  • Amazing song, thanks for sharing it!

  • my poor parents ...

  • im 15... and i have three younger brothers and two younger sisters.... this is so accurate ;) thanks!

  • I had Pachelbel's Canon played at my wedding....I just wish I had had this version.....I LOVE it.

  • This is too lovely for words!! Thank you so much for sharing.

  • wat a perfect song its so funny bc i bet its like 11 and his daughter is right beside him.

  • David you are the BEST!!!! Wonderful song!!

  • I get teary EVERY, SINGLE, TIME I watch this video! Again, BRAVO!!!

  • That was fabulous! My daughter gave it only 2 stars before I could stop her because she said the screaming part scared her, lol. But It was genius, we all enjoyed it! Especially when that little blonde head peeks out behind you, rofl!

  • Very sweet. Thank you.  My kids are grown...but I do have grandchildren.

  • ok.. I was sent this from a friend, I too have have three girls - twins(2yrs)and a 4yr old. This song epitomizes my life! I have now watched this a dozen times.. and each time I almost weep.. the ending is fantastic!!! make sure you let us know when your CD comes out.. Make sure we can get it from Canada..  THANKS AGAIN!!!!

  • My family loves this video! As a father of THREE beautiful girls, they will all tell you that I cannot make it to the end of this without tearing up. You really nailed it, and have given us a wonderful tool to help communicate the beauty of everyday life! God Bless You. Looking forward to your CD!

  • can we please get som lyrics?

  • Watching this video has become part of our bedtime routine-- my 5 year old even tries to sing along. Sometimes we even catch him singing "AHHHHHH! She's staring right at me. . ." at odd moments during the day. And I definitely catch myself singing it during the day. Beautiful, and so true. Especially the end :-)

  • I LOVE this!! Thanks for summerizing my life for the last 8 years! It brought tears to my eyes. Im glad Im not alone!

  • So sweet, puts it all in perspective and makes you appreciate each stage of childhood, so fleeting and never to be rushed. Thank you for this video!

  • You sum up parenthood right down to the T. My kids love this song and my 4yr old even sings to it.

  • This is a perfect song for families today with 2 or more kids. It keeps you grounded!!

  • Wahoo, songman. Congrats. Let us know when it's out and we'll go buy it.

  • LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What happened? Will there be a CD soon?

  • i substituted my boys and their karate, baseball, and basketball...and got a little teary at the end because i totally agree, the good out weighs the bad. btw they like to hear your song, but i have to replay it for my 5 yr old..he doesn't catch all the words ;) take care

  • So does this mean you are going commercial?? Cuz I would totally buy your CD. I didn't see it on amazon and they have everything.
