Jimmy Dean - To A Sleeping Beauty

[lizzybellinger]

every time my dad plays this, i cry! Love you Daddy! I don't know what i'd do without you.

[whynotwillie]

I am the Father of TWO beautiful daughters, and the Grandfather of TWO more, now ages 46,44,12, & 5..... I've listened/played this song many times... always brings tears to my eyes. It is beautiful and heart warming. Blessed I am to still be alive.... and thanks for youtube, I can put my albums/records/tapes to rest............Mr Bill

[MrJdsusername]

big bad john.........................

[ButterflyGoddess221]

I cry at this song too, never had a dad to dedicate it to me, but the emotion and the words are heart warming.

[65hockin]

My dad dedicated this song to my birthday. I couldn't stop crying and I absolutely love this song now. God Bless

[LionessGG66]

Oh my gosh I can't quit crying ... So true ... Fathers and Mothers

go through  this and it is so hard to give up our Little Girl...~GG~

[Shinigamiofhell]

My dad used to play this song for me when I was growing up, all the way from I was a little girl all the way up till he got sick. He was taken by the angels in January and even now at 20 years old I'm listening to this song and it makes me cry and miss him more. Thank you for posting it.

[rfreeman9949]

My dad used to play this to me as well. I just emailed it to my son who has a daughter. I appreciate the love and pain of parenthood.

[glosue]

My daddy pressed a dollar bill into my hand when I hugged him goodbye at the bus station as he was leaving to go back to his ship. He told me to buy this record. That was in 1967. I can not hear it without crying. Thank you for posting this.

[bbpancake30]

This song makes me cry, thinking off my dad since my parents are divorced. Thank you Jimmy Dean for making this song. :')

[Pravoizavlijesvijeta]

jimmy dean kinda looks like a white version of obama.

[xxPrettyInPinkGirlxx]

<3

[Subnbellle]

i've never replied, i hope i did it right. i'm trying to figure out why i wanted to be grown up. Daddy looks different now, my heart says. i'm sure i look different to Him, as well. just nobody ever told us perspective could change.

i never cry, especially out loud.

you're the same as me, but it was you that reminded me that we're princesses.

responding to everyone is tiring, please don't.

the very least i can wish for you is sweet dreams while sleeping, Beauty.

...and to waltz

[Raybosh2000]

My daughter couldn't decide what song to play at her wedding for the Father/Daughter dance. So she asked me to pick. This was my one and only choice. It took me all 3 sec to decide. Thanks Jimmy from the bottom of my heart for that wonderful few moments with my daughter. May you rest in peace.

[MrDriftinjim]

No matter how many times I hear this song, it always brings a tear.

[JTSlover97]

I.O.U reminded me of my mom, and this reminds me of my dad.

[muffin2sweet]

My dad used to play this song for me, now that he's gone, I play it to hear how he felt about me, it's a real blessing.

[worm44636]

My 3 Girls were small when this song came out now thy are grown with kids of there one. it still brings a tear to my eyes thank for th memory's

[StevieB1362]

Thanks for this one. What a tear jerker! I like Jackie Gleason's version too, but this is my favorite.

[mdfslfllf101]

thanks 4 posting this my husband requested this song 4 our lil girl so sweet thanks so much :) !

[happygoing1]

I've been searching for that song for over 1 month now, I couldn't remember the title and the name of the person that sang it. Just a beautiful song. I remember taping it from the radio for my daughter a long time ago. Thanks for posting it. Almost a miracle that I found it.

P.S. Could you tell me who is the other singner that use to sing it beside Jimmy Dean. When I had tape it, I recall a different voice.

[celticmama98]

My daddy used to play this for us girls when we were little. =.)..

[marymootrey]

@celticmama98  so did my dad

[i8h4d]

My dad has played this since i was a baby- played it @ my wedding in 2006....luv u daddy!

[Rosiesideology]

I was just 8 years old, when Daddy found this song on a jukebox, at Murphy's dinner counter. He played me this song. It was the only time, he ever played it. From then on, all he ever had to do, to let me know, he loved me. He'd call me Sleeping Beauty.

We grew apart, and didn't speak, for a number of years. Too many years, cause I never got the chance to say,

Sleeping Beauty, still loves you, King Daddy!

Don't take a day for granted.

Thank you, for posting this.

[pnywho]

@Rosiesideology I always try to say how I feel because you never know if you are ever going to get that chance to tell that person. It might sound corny, and they might act funny, but you will never regret it. you will if you dont say anything. I'm sorry for you loss. I lost my grandma three years ago. RIP grandma I love you and miss you lots.

[killerchola56]

this reminds me of my grandpa.he was my dad growing up... RIP

[lorimccormick7534]

This song has SOOOO much meaning to me... My dad played this for me 6 months before he passed and that was the first and only time I seen him cry... I thought I would NEVER hear this again.... Thank You

JIMMY DEAN

[jgweavil]

When my sister and I turned sixteen our dad bought us this record by Jimmy Dean. I knew when I heard it that under that tough side that dad's portray there is a softness. I had tears in my eyes at 16 and today when I listen to it I still have tears in my eyes. My dad has been gone now for about 16 years, this song will always be dear to my heart. RIP Jimmy Dean

[peiredmud]

There was none better, and In my opinion never will be again. RIP

[TheHoosiercountry]

i had this read at my youngest daughter wedding love it RIP you will be missed

[dmaynardabu]

My daddy use to play this for me when I was little. When I found this on cd a couple of years to go I bought us both a copy. RIP, Jimmy, you will be truly missed.

[Ultimation3333]

My dad played this all the time as I was growing up. He would sit at times hugging me & I wondered why sometimes a tear was in his eyes. He told me that soon I would understand & I do. My dads been gone 23yrs and when this plays I feel like my dad is here beside. R.I.P Mr. Dean,

[500VulcanRider]

RIP Jimmy and thanks for the wonderful music

[mostfortune8]

I remember when Jimmy first did this song on TV. he cried all the way through and my daddy looked at me with tears in his eyes and said "Maggie (only he got to call me that name LOL) that is what a real man is all about."

[mrrufas]

"'LET KINDNESS BLESS THE TRAIL HE RIDES"

[mrrufas]

May GOD bless the trail you ride!

[bjeffery08]

Greatest song,RIP

[251carol]

Rest In Peace, Jimmy.

I love this song.

I am a Dad to daughters and granddaughters.

[NitroManXoX]

If you cant cry with this song then you're a cold hearted bastard.

RIP Jimmy

[weatherboi]

I am sure you will be missed my millions, thanks for your legacy.

[YRichards1]

[nojokingbob]

Thanks for posting I have two daughters and I know how he felt when he wrote this like most dads I suppose. Thanks so very much again for posting!!!

[dwight5300]

My Dad used to play this. And I never appreciated it till I was grown. Now, it makes me cry and realize how much he loved me. I miss my Dad. He passed in 1991. Thanks Dad for the love!

[dandvguerrero]

my dad gave me a cassette with this song on it when I was a teenager and going through that "rebellious phase" My father passed away from pancreatic cancer almost 2 years ago and this song means more to me now than it ever did before. I love and miss you everyday dad!

[y00sta]

He even surprised me and had it played for our dance at my wedding..my dad passed away 10 years ago and i still play this when i miss him..brings him close to me, sometimes i can even hear him saying the words..I miss you and love you very much dad..

[suanconn]

Know just how you feel. My father passed away 10 years ago also. I miss him so much at times I don't think I can stand it. This song reminds me of him too.

[Blueoctober103]

Well written, put nicely, and very true!! I'll be saying this to myself someday, although I'll be a MOM not a DAD! Still, beautiful, though.

[debj416]

I Remember this from my younger days. I was searching for a song he sang (maybe not orginal singer) called Grasshopper McClain I know it was on the same album with this song that my mother had. Can't find it anywhere on youtube!! Any takers???

[rlnmzwilson]

Thank you so much for this video. I have a tribute version of another singer who redid this wonderful song, but I never had a chance to hear the original. This song makes any dad proud.

[livingadream2]

Your very welcome! This song sure does make alot of dads proud!

[Subnbellle]

i've never replied, i hope i did it right. i'm trying to figure out why i wanted to be grown up. Daddy looks so different then, my heart says. i'm sure i look different to Him, as well. just nobody ever told us about perspective back then.

i never cry, especially out loud.

you're the same as us, but it was you that reminded us that we're princesses.

responding to everyone is tiring, please don't.

the very least i can wish for you is sweet dreams while sleeping, Beauty.
