  • That's a song sung by a dad who can see his kid. I wrote a song all about how my daughter was lied to about me for 18 years.

    I haven't seen her since she was 2.5 yrs old. She lives in Europe. Divorce is a nasty thing to live through. It hurts every one who can't se who they want to see.

    When i found her on facebook when she was 17, she basically didn't believe anything i said.

    We argued about why she calls herself after her mother's maiden name and not her given name . Then she blocked me.

  • Why hasn't Paul Simon received a nobel prize yet?

  • So beautiful

  • Johnny cash and Rosanne cash. Rosie's his step daughter

  • @kjoeherring

    Roseanne Cash is Johnny Cash's daughter.

    Roseanne is his first born with his first wife. She has a beautiful soulful voice just like her dad's.

  • I am sorry for everyone that hasn't seen their father for years. But just know..that no matter what you are in his head all day everyday(: Maybe it is for the best that you don't see him..or maybe the worst..But it doesn't matter how much thought you put into it...it won't make you feel better. I know it sounds harsh..and im sorry...But i know that if you think about the things you do have and the times that you have spent then maybe you wouldn't be so "depressed". I's sorry): I wish the best...

  • i hate this song...but i love it cuz i have no dad so it makes me cry....

  • This song brings me to tears just thinking about it-- I think, of course, partially in that it's beautiful, and partially because I wish I'd see my dad love me as much as he says he does. It's funny that you can tell someone matters to you a lot when disagreements with them sting the most.

  • @superspongenova this song bring me to tears as well but you should be thankful for having your father mine died when i was 3-4:(

  • @superspongenova I am thankful, but it doesn't mean that I can't be sad about him, too. There are complexities to growing up without a father as there are with growing up with one tenuously.

  • I just made a daddy daughter video to this song for my little 6 month old girl... Check it out on my channel... Props to all the good dads out there!!!!

  • I've never met my father, and now I am a father to be I will meet my child June 6th 2012 I couldn't be more exited! I've been listening to father songs all day, I just can't get over the fact that I will be able to watch them shine and watch them grow, there could never be a father who loves his child more than I do.

  • My dad would play this when I was little on cd and guitar and each time I'd ball my eyes out. I still do..I love my dad so much he has been the only person in my life I can ever rely on. All I ever want is my dad to be proud of me. Hes my bestfriend

  • Fantastic! Every family court judge should be required to watch this before handing down anemic visitation orders to fathers and their children.

  • Wow, this song is so sad to me. I'm 14 and I lost my dad 12 years ago. :( I actually think I watched the Wild Thornberrys movie with him too. I cry every time I hear this song.

  • My husband and our two daughters have such a close bond. Yes they have their little spats, but they always have understood that if they need daddy, just call and boom he's there. To have watched him father them from the day they were born to the day our oldest walked down the isle to get married... is just amazing. I am glad that our girls had that kind of wonderful relationship with their daddy that I didn't have.

  • Ex- wife stops me from seeing my 3 gorgeous daughters who i love and miss with all my heart and soul every minute of every day.......no one should have that much power these days.

    This is written through tears streaming down my face , what a potent song.

  • “You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in Your bottle. You have recorded each one in Your book.” -Psalm 56:8, NLT

    Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me and setting me free. Thank You for being my Vindicator. I choose to release every hurt, pain and sorrow, knowing that You will make all things new in Your time. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

  • @legionv111 that is so wrong. What a total bitch. Children need their fathers. if my hubby and I ever parted I would never stop him seeing his kids. I would encourage it.

  • beautiful

  • Has there ever been a bond like father/daughter? Who better to describe the relationship than Paul Simon? Simply perfect.

  • if you have a father. please give him a kiss tonight, tell him how much you love him. do not loose this opportunity. you never know what will happen tomorrow. you don't know how hard it is to not have one.

  • aww wild thornberrys

  • whenever i listen to this song i feel like a stripper in the making hahah.

    but no, i'd never admit it to anybody, but i wish i had a dad. when i hear this song i always cry a little bit aha.

  • fantastic video

    

  • My dad is awesome. <3

  • makes me appreciate my dad sooo much.

    love you daddy

    <3

  • I cry whenever I watch this video. My father was the dearest person to my heart. He loved me unconditionally, and never refused me...no matter how idiotic my request might be :-). He was proud of my accomplishments, and had my back when I failed. He died coming to pick me up from the train station. My life will never be the same without him. I love you daddy. I miss you even more. Millions of kisses. Your little girl always, pookie

  • @daddysgirlcookies I'm so sorry to hear that. I try to take care of myself for my children so they do not have to suffer if I pass. May God bless you and your Dad. He will always be with you no matter where he is...

  • @daddysgirlcookies I am sorry for you I know how you feel my dad died to:(

  • I love this song. I wish my dad was a bigger part of my life--every time I hear this song, I cry, bit it's so sweet! There are a lot of lucky girls out there with loving dads.

  • I love this song! I also love Ken Koenig's song "Golden Girl" that he wrote for daughters sooo beautiful check it out if you haven't heard it before... He has some other really good songs too... but anyways check out "Golden Girl" If you like this song... Let me know what you think of it too! :)

  • I love this song. My dad was deployed for a total of 7 years of my 16 year old life. I loved it when he would come home and he'd laugh and sing this song to me around the house. Me and my sister loved it (even though she was always ALWAYS with my mum). This brings tears to my eyes.

  • this song is my childhood -3

  • I wonder if Paul Simon had a daughter.

  • YES! I cry too at this song... I don't even know why. I love it!

  • 16 people have no souls.

  • My father and I danced to this at our wedding. I've never had so much fun! =:o)

  • Always tears in my eyes when listening to this song. My daughter's only 3 weeks old.... saw and could hold her only once.

  • My youngest daughter asked me to pick a song for our Father/Daughter dance. I surprised her with this at her wedding this past Saturday. It says exactly what I wanted to say...

  • Comment removed

  • This tune evokes so much of that love parents feel for their kids; I always get teary from it, too (and Paul Simon's son sang background vocals). I particularly liked the photo of Bill & Chelsea, and of Johnny & Roseanne Cash. Appreciate your including various events in a child's life, and people of various heritages.

  • I want to know who the 15 people are who don't like this song. You have no soul.

  • I am lucky to have an amazing, beautiful, intelligent and sweet daughter who turns 4 in March. We love this song and dance to it often...

  • I wish I could do all these things in the pics but I dont know my father...this song makes me cry cause I wish I could have the love in this song...

  • @smileygurl912 Excuse me for this msg smileygurl912, I really feel sorry for you, I'm a father of 3 lovely girls, 13, 15 and 26 I'm away from them because of relationship problems, you know, but I talk with them everyday... And I just want to say to you that I'm feeling the love of a father for you right now. "It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons ~Johann Schiller" God bless you and all the other daughters of the world!

  • This is a distant dream to me ='/

  • this was the song i danced with my daughter with at her wedding. Sometimes i just have to go back and listen to it and remember that perfect day. Now she lives a half a world away. I miss her but will see her soon. I love her and very very proud of all she has accomplished.

  • I miss him. There are so many things I should have told him....

  • I wish my dad stuck around. It makes me think of all the things i CAN'T do, like the father-daughter dances or have someone to stare my guy friends in the eye and scare them, someone to my mom happy, someone to teach my brother how to play catch and ride a bike... kinda sucks. To anyone who complains about an overbearing father, be glad yours is in your life. TT A TT

  • The picture of Johnny and Roseanne Cash is great!! 

  • My mother dies when I was born, and my father couldn't cope. He tried to take care of me n his own but it didn't work out so I ended up with nannies. He went on to being a hollywood star and I only saw him briefly. Then he wanted to move to LA from London, my home, whe I was 13 and I refused and ended up with the social service. Then his friend, Nick, stepped in and took me home. Almost 3 years later I live with Nick and no one has ever loved me like he does. Nick you're the greatest daddy ever.

  • My father missed out on a great daughter, me.

    He just didn't care, took no interest or spent more than 8 waking hours with me alone. Ignoring is the worst thing a parent can do to a child. I've moved past this person.

    He wasn't a father at all, an asshole of surprising proportions.

  • Wild Thornberrys!

  • i just started hysterical crying right now. this was me and my dads song as i grew up and still is. even tho i am still a young teen it has so much impact and meaning to me. i love my dad so much and i tell him all the time when i get married and we have the dance this is the song we will dance too <3

  • I came on to Youtube to watch fighting and stuff but ended up with tears streaming down my cheeks by the end of this track.

    I'd love to make my daughter as proud as Paul Simon's daughter must be every time she hears this song. Wish me luck.

  • I cry whenever I hear this song because I know how lucky I am to have my daddy in my life... He's possibly the best man I'll ever know.

    This song makes me cry because I know that I won't have him forever... But I love him with all my heart and soul.

    I love you, daddy <3

  • i like that it start with a baby's foot on her father's foot,then pics from young to old daughters n in the end,finish with the same baby pic again to show that no matter how old they b, they will always remain their father's baby girl. nice work on that.

  • daddy..u are my hero always....

  • I love my baby girl so much!

  • this song is just so beautiful :')

  • this is so my father/daughter dance song for my wedding...my dad doesnt know it! BUT he will love it!

  • i might play this at my wedding for my father daughter dance. <3

  • I just finished watching The Wild Thornberry movie

  • @pamhoneydew24 lol me too!

  • @pamhoneydew24 haha me too!

  • @pamhoneydew24 same here

  • @pamhoneydew24

    Me too! I haven't seen it in so long and I remember always loving this song.... I remember my dad taking me to see this movie.. I always had good movie times with him.

    :') I think of how lucky I am to have him in my life....

  • The Wild Thornberry movie!!

  • The toes say everything to us. They are the real sign that we are really father and daughter. as the little toe turns under, and the shape are absolute proof that we are from the same gene. We are so far away and yet 'Daddy' never forgets his little girl xx

  • My little girl will be here in about 3 weeks. I haven't even met her yet, but I already love her more than anything.

  • @renegadesteve04 that comment made me cry!! im 14 and i feel like i know how you feel, i havent seen my dad in 7 years:( i miss him, HOORAH!!!

  • Father / Daughter dance song for my wonderful girl next year in Denver, July 8th 2012 miss her all the time

  • This is mine and my dad's song :) it make me cry every time i listen to this, but it always reminds me of my dad... i love you dad :)

  • I am a dad to a little girl, and in 2 months we will have another.. Its the greatest honour ever bestowed on me.......

  • @deancogan28 aww good luck x

  • Love this song. Reminds me of how my dad is such a great guy and I will always love him.

  • Just had my daughter three days ago. crying just thinking of how much i love her right now <3

  • Ive never had a dad, and when i was 4 my mom worked in the pta for my school and she was helping out at the father daughter dance and she had to take me with her cause she didnt have anybody to watch me and I had to sit next to her all night and watch all the dads holding there daughters in there arms dancing to this song. That was truly a heartbreaking moment , I will never forget how i felt.

  • This song is the most inspirational song out thereee.

  • lucky enough to be a dad love my little girl beyond description

  • i love you daddy <3

  • papa, I love you so so much. You are truly the best man in the world and I love you with all my heart. You've taught me everything I know and without you I wouldn't be the person I am today. You've brought me up so amazingly and you've always stood by me no matter what my decision has been. I really hope and pray I become just like you; your my true role model. I love you daddy, and no matter what I will always, always be your little lou xxxxxxxx

  • this song would make you cry, even if your in the best moods :) well done paul simon an amazing song :)

  • im 14 and i love paul simon, and simon garfunkel:). and i absolutly adore this song:) thanks to my most amazing father i have a big variety of music i listen to. him and me are not only father and daughter but best friends. we both agrred this is the song we will be dancing to to my wedding. though thats years away, its already offical. i love you daddy:)

  • LOVE THIS SONG SOOO MUCH XX

  • When I first listened to this song I wished me and my dad had a good father and daughter relationship. But now I'll always remember listening to this song when dad had a heart attack. It made me realise that to me he was the best dad ever and I didn't want him to go. Songs like this make you feel a lot of emotions so care for what you have because you don't know how lucky you are till it's gone.

  • There are 15 people who disliked this. Each of those people most be very stupid

  • @jazzyjayjayo I suspect the 15 people who disliked this have their own reasons. Not everyone gets to have a good dad or even a dad who cares. I could see where this song could be disliked if all it does is make you think about what you missed out on in life.

  • Awesome video & awesome song. Thanks for making it.

  • I have two fave pics from this video-the dad&daughter dancing(her feet atop his) and the little girl holding up a fish! A remarkable vid-thanks! I Loved it! :)

  • I only knew my step father and he died when I was twelve. To this day he is the most wonderful father a person could have. I miss him soooo much. I grew up without that love and it is still very hard on me. As Msnotriouslip said, appreciater your father. The worst thing is growing up with out that love.

  • my oldest daughter listens to this song every night before she goes to bed!

  • I'm making a video for my Daddy. It's a father's day present. and I know he'll be very happy and probably have tears in his eyes.

  • The notes La La La will always shine :)

  • I love my Daughter. Estranged and reunited after 27yrs.

  • ♥ hApPy FaThEr'S dAy PaPa ♥

  • Only Paul Simon could capture love in a song this well.

  • WILD THORNBERRIES!!

  • so i was talking to a friend one night...to be exact monday, may 30, 2011. anyway we were on the subject of "father's day" she told me that i had the potential and the ability and info to find him sense i had no idea what he looked like or anything. so the next day(tueday) i went to the libaray and looked up his work's email. asked if they new a -insert name here- and that im his daughter blah blah blah. well wednesday i didnt expect anything...at least this soon. my father

  • @rainman1ism - just a lovely comment. Yes your daughter will fly. She is just resting now.

  • Comment removed

  • Very beautiful video. I would have to say the 1st photo with the feet is my favorite. Could be anybody, in any situation. But you know there is love there.

  • beautiful! thank you for posting :)

  • agree with the above... don't take a loving dad for granted. being a teenage girl i still wish i knew what it was like to have someone protect you. this song is comforting :)

  • I always cry when I hear this, I can't even help it.

  • i was a child born out of a bad relationship (an affair). my mother died when i was 10 yrs old. my pop stepped up. he raised me (i wasnt his). no question. i know i was loved. i had my pop til he was 95 yrs old. he was a brat. and had my brothers & sisters. but my father loved me.

  • i was a child born out of a bad relationship (an affair). my mother died when i was 10 yrs old. my pop stepped up. he raised me (i wasnt his). and i knew i was loved. no question. i know i was loved.

  • wow first time seen this song. love my daughters so much. divorce so hard on a father to show his love and trust crushed. yet the love tough God son died for a people who lacked understanding what at stake! thank you for the encouraging song

  • its weird how this is mine and my mums song ;L 

  • My dad passed away recently, but he will always stay with my Mum and I, this song will never fail to bring him back into my memory. ily dad x

  • I cry every time i hear this song! I don't really have a sob story but I just love my dad, thumbs up if you do too!!!

  • @LuvPianoMuzic i just met mine this tuesday but in the past week, he has showed me alot of love and i really aperciate that i found him

  • This song fills me with so much love, it makes me cry everytime. I love it. Hah :)

  • My dad has always said that this is his favourite song. Me and my siblings had an argument about who was going to buy the single for fathers day the year it came out.

  • this is me and my dads. i am proud to say that im his little girl and always will be. i will play this song for my wedding.

  • this is me and my dads. i am proud to say that im in little girl and always will be. i will play this song for my wedding.

  • This song reminds me of my dad... I lost him to cancer when I was 12... three years seems so far now...

  • This is so lovely. I am separated from my daughter and this puts a lump in my throat. My favourite picture is the man and his daughter dancing on the beach where the girl is standing on her dads feet. My girl does that with me. Thanks for this post x

  • 1:32-1:40 is my favorite picture ... how sweet

  • i wish id wrote this for my daughter. love you shara. x

  • I danced with my daddy to this song when I got married!! I love it but is is very hard to listen to it because I lost my dad 4 years ago to cancer!!! I miss you every day daddy

  • @beyer78 Remember all the good times, peace to you.

  • How cany anyone possibly click the dislike button for this? I can't understand...

  • @purplepygmypuff66 Maybe they are so teary eyed they hit the wrong button or they are just heartless schmoes?

  • my father/daughter song at my wedding...:)

  • this is me and my dads song because the first movie i ever saw, i saw with him. i love him so much! he is my best friend and always will be! <3

  • @hexcane Don't blame other people for your own actions.

  • 15 people have never experienced the joy of having a daughter that loves them.

  • how does it feel to have a father..

  • My biological father was never the kind of man that we see in these pics. I'm one of those girls who grew up without that love from either parent. But I have another family, two parents who have for lack of a better term have "adopted" me as their adult daughter. To say the least, I am catching up on all of those years I missed and I could not be more thankful for them in my life... this video is precious, it really is. To all girls, cherish your father. You have no idea how blessed you are

  • @MsNOTORIOUSLIP I'm sorry about that, I'm glad things are working out for you now! Best of look:)

  • @MsNOTORIOUSLIP  your story made cry!!!!!

    all the Best

  • @MsNOTORIOUSLIP such moving words :-)

  • I love the picture of the father and daughter reciting the Pledge of Allegence

  • My fave pic, like Paul Simon songs, I just like them all! The man is one of our greatest natural resources! God Save and Long Live Paul Simon! MindwalkerStudios thanks for the upload, same to you You Tube for the space!

  • are the two at 3:18 actors?

  • @candacelea890 no that's tony bennett on the right, and his daughter.

  • ill always be my daddys lil girl i love my dad he has a big big big ♥

  • aawww cute =)

  • I love my father more than anything. This song makes me think of him. <3

  • man i cant even see my daughter, she's only 2 weeks old, but i already feel so distant with her, theres so much i want to do for her, but its so hard with the circumstances right now, i can barely achieve anything.

  • how sweeeet! lucky little girls. wish i ever had a dad...

    :'(

  • @IllIIllIIIlIIIlI mine died 2 months ago.. i`m so sorry for you. only you know that feeling of missing something that you never had..

  • Comment removed

  • i love this song. i always tear up when i listen to it.

  • I love you Daddy,

  • my father posted this on my page being that i will turn 21 tomorrow i love this song

  • my dad passed away few days ago and i am missing him so much!!!love you to dead papa

  • i dont know what it is about this, i cant stop pressing the replay button...

  • @funnyguy12296 I think 3 reasons: 1. It's Paul Simon's amazing talent 2. It's a song written and sung from the heart 3.It makes us think about our own fathers or daughters and increases our love for them with ever note :)

  • I love this song its so beautiful,my dad bought me the single a few years ago

  • i luv this song so much

  • I have always loved this song.

  • I am so glad someone got this song and it's clear!!!

  • My favorite picture? All of them ~ <3

  • love this song always loved it from the first time i heard it when i was younger on wildthornberrys movie xx

  • @mileycyrustillidie Yep exactly . . . Nickelodeon would often play the music video for this around the time that the movie was released in 2002--I was 13 and in 8th grade. Haven't seen the movie in awhile but it's one of my favorites.

  • Is anyone here qualified to judge if our newly uploaded video deserve the title: The best Wedding Songs 2011 & Marriage Quotations? We included one Father and daughter song at the end.

  • After my wife had our two boys she had become pregnant again.We went to find out if the baby was a boy or a girl . When we found out the baby was going to be a girl we had such an exited scream the nurses ran into the room to find out what happened when they found out they were just as exited for us. My daughter means the world to me and I love her so much and I' m going to watch her shine.

  • Beautiful.

    Just beautiful.

  • my dad and i are going to dance to this song on my wedding day :)

  • why must ppl always write sad sob stories on sad songs its like your trying to use your stories to get thumbs up'd sick just sick

  • @TheoriginalMjj90 Songs reveal the heart, whether sad or not. There is no manipulation in sharing something close to ones heart. I resent the term sob stories. Take a look at your side of the street first before you critize!

  • @rainman1ism nope im pretty sure what iwrote is write =D

  • @TheoriginalMjj90

    Nah, the bad thing is when people suspect that those people are selfish and want thumbs up's. :P

  • @livesget1 why o why did u just respond to something i wrote 2 months ago. are you an idiot or something

  • @TheoriginalMjj90 There's no deadline for responding to comments. And no, I'm not an idiot, thank you very much. Later! :P

  • @livesget1 responding to a comment sum 1 wrote 2 months ago an probrably dont remember in a undertoned hostile way is ignorant an makes you an idiot so yea leave me alone now ok thanks =D

  • pardon the language, but this song is fucking beautiful :')

    i haven't seen my dad in 4 years :(

  • My dad died in 1989 when I was 7, this always makes me cry. RIP Ricardo Martinez

  • I always wanted this to be the song that my father and I danced to at my wedding. But since he died a year ago when I was seventeen, I imagine this as his song to me. It always makes me feel loved and protected. 

  • my wife and I now have two amazing daughters this song is awsome, i've made a video of my elder daughter with a ryan huston song, love you forever. now i am in the process of making a video of my younger daughter with this paul simon song. these songs are excellent and with all the comments on youtube. its nice to see fathers are being fathers. peace and love to all good fathers and yes love your daughters forever.

  • Not sure which song is more touching - this or mother and child reunion

    One things for certain their both such powerful songs!
