  • My nephew died shortly after he was born in 2010. This song was played at his visitation and needless to say, it fit so perfectly. If I'm correct, Radney Foster wrote this song and Dixie Chicks covered it, but it was this version that was played. Big thanks to them, it was arranged perfectly. Every once in a while I come back to this video because it's the only one of this version I can find, just so I can hear it again. I'd give anything to have him here.

    I love you Ryder

  • I has a stillbirth not a miscarriage..

  • I believe I removed the coment. It was rude and uncalled for

  • @Darwyn7 If one believes that it truly is a baby inside their womb, they will mourn the miscarriage and death of their baby.  It has happened to me and often, a funeral brings the closure many mothers need when they've lost their sweet baby.

We used to play tag at the housing that we stayed at while at the hospital. He has Rabdomysarcoma which is many tumors anywhere on your body. His was on his face, behind his ear. I miss you BrayBray.

  • I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant with my first child, 2 weeks after I found out I was pregnant, I found out that I'm a type 1 diabetic, Scared to death but trying not to worry because when I worry my blood sugar sky rockets and that's even WORSE for the baby. Every time I start to have a melt down, I sing this song to my stomach (also sing it when it feels as if the baby is doing cartwheels in there!)

  • @eviestivers2015 How's your pregnancy so far?

  • This song is beautiful but it reminds me of a little boy named Cade. Cade died this past spring. He was only 4 years old. The doctors never bothered to check if he had a super rare but deadly heart disease. He had it. He died in front of his dad at his soccer practice.

  • Today, we had a memorial service at school for a little boy who passed away. He was only six years old. His mother sang this. Beautiful song, sang beautifully. Rest In Peace, Dominic. We will never forget you ♥

  • My colorguard and I are doing this for our Winterguard show this year. At the begining of this school year a fellow student of our named Katelyn passed away and this show is to honor her. It was unexpected and took a toll on our whole school. She was going to be a member in our guard too. I personally was in drill team with her in middle school and know how sweet she was and how much she loved to dance and how she brought joy to all. She will always be remebered. RIP Katelyn we love you.

  • My sister died last week, this was our song. I'll mis climbing into a soft bed in a candle-lit room on sunday mornings. I love you julie. Julie Mrosko: 1982-2011

  • A 15 year old girl holds hands with her 1 year old son. People call her a slut, no one knows she was raped at 13. People call another Guy fat. No one knows he has a serious disease causing him to be overweight . People call an old man ugly. No one knew he had a serious injury to his face while fighting for our country in the war People call a women bald but they don't know she has cancer Re-post this if you are against bullying and stereotyping I bet 50% of you won't do it

  • Six years ago today, my little cousin was stillborn.

  • This song was played at my baby cousin's funeral. He passed away a year ago today. We were blessed to have him in our lives for 13 months, but then he was taken away from us :(

  • this song was played after my closest friend connor passed away from leukemia )':

  • R.I.P MUM XXX

  • This gorgeous song was featured in a slide show that was put together for my grandma's funeral. It was then used by me as a means to find the words that would express how I feel right now as my dog had to be put to sleep this afternoon.

    RIP Buddy. "Godspeed little man....sweet dreams little man"

  • My baby cousin is 19 months old. I was helping my grandma babysit over night one weekend and he was fightin sleep for his nap like it was the devil. I sang this to him and he calmed right down and went to sleep in my arms. I love that baby boy like nobody else. This song can be for mourning or it can be a reminder that our little ones are precious gifts to us.

  • I don't think I could compose anything as pretty and as poignant as this, for you. Goodnight Moon... Tell the moon goodnight for me too Tyler.

  • when i was little my grandma would sing it to me when i was going to sleep it makes me happy hearing it.

  • alot of people interpret this as a sad song i think its more of a lullaby

  • @natrat1109 yes you're quite right - it is a lullaby but music is interperated differently with every one. Even those of us who have buried children would still love to sing them a lullaby. :-)

  • My BestFriend , Dylan Perkins . Was Takin From Us Last Week, We All Called Him GodSpeed! It Became More Of a Name To Him Than Dylan. Haha. Please, Please Pay Your Respects And Read thru Some Posts On His Page , "R.I.P Dylan Perkins" On Facebook. Please and Thank You!

  • @dwf8009 Tomorrow is my grandson's 18th birthday. He too was a victim of doctor neglect. Will never forget .

  • @dwf8009 i am so sorry about your lost... may he rest in peace.

  • @dwf8009 I too lost my child to medical "professionals" mistakes. It's not your fault! We need to hold them accountable for their negligence, they have been shielded for too long, their actions should be criminal.

  • I am blessed that my son is with me and healthy, but when I hear this song it makes me cry. It is just so beautiful and really captures the love a parent has for a child.

  • ♥ If I have a boy i will sing this to him ever night. God Bless, and God Speed, to all. ♥

  • OMG can't believe this song actually has dislikes!! Oh yeah...therealmensa was probably here ten times

  • There is a little boy (4-6 years old) that was found dead this weekend here in Maine. No one knows who he is and no one has reported a boy missing. I just heard this song on my Mp3 player and just burst into tears. I posted your link on his FB page as I felt you did an amazing job with this song. So appropriate. Thank you for sharing.

  • To my son Asher. Mama loves you always baby boy.

  • Wow... Reading all your comments made me cry. Now I can't stop because it brings back old amazing memories I have had with friends and family that I have lost. I always listen to this song when I'm going through hard times, it makes me cry but it also makes me a stronger person by making me want to keep pushing through hard times and losing loved ones. Grandma, Grandpa, cousin Houston & Tasheena, Auntie Linda, Auntie Norma, best friend Nikki... & more... R.I.P. Miss & love yous!<3

  • This song will forever go out to my cousin i love & miss him soo mucch <3

    rest easy Landen <3

  • They played this song at my good friends funeral today. they played it during a slideshow of his life, he was only 20. Someone you could brag about knowing. He was so young yet so accomplished, it breaks my heart knowing he wont be there for my family anymore. He had fun during his life, from the stories I've heard and the stories Ive told and will continue to tell as long as I live, I just wish it would have lasted longer. We all love you Steej and we want you back :(

  • happy mother's day

    thanks to all the mom for singing to all of us kids...

  • I had a nephew named Logan who was born with a very rare heart defect that only about four in a million babies get. He was in the hospital for nine months of his life. He began his life in his mother's arms and 14 months later thats where it ended. It's unfortunate to lose him because he was so full of life and when you looked into his eyes, he seemed so wise. RIP Loganberry 08/05/08-10/14/09 please read his story: just google Logan Elloitt Moms with Hearts and it should be the first link

  • ok i am in love with this song because my best friend mariah's little brother jordan died at about the age of 1 and the played this at his funeral he would be about 7 this year we all miss him soo much.

  • i can't read the comments on this song anymore, i've been ago through a couple pages, but i can't stop crying, i'm practicaly bawling. this song has got me through so much in my life, and means so much to me, and reading all these stories, finding out how much it means to others, so much more than it does to me makes my heart ache. my love goes out to everyone who this song has touched, and everyone who needs help right now. <3<3<3<3<3<3<3

April is always a hard month for me since it's their angelversaries on the 10th and 14th. It's been 4 yrs since we said goodbye to one and 2 yrs since we said goodbye to our other angel baby.

I Absolutly Love This Song I Listen To Its All The Time When Im Sad Becuase My Mom,Dad,Sister,Brother Were ALl Killed IN A Car ACcident And I Live With My Mean Aunt! I Just Feel So Reunited Whenever I Hear This! Its Like The Love FRom Them Still Flows Within Me! But It Is My Fault There Dead I Didnt Wanna Go On Vacation WIth Them! SO God Took Them From Me! Leson Learned God!

  • @TheCheeselover321 Its not your fault I could not imagine what you went and are still going through but its not your fault. If you had went, I dont think it wouldve changed what happened. Take it as there is a reason you are still here. I am sooo sorry for the unbelievable loss you have endured. I pray you find your peace with God and know that you will see your family again one day. This made me cry. Just know it was never your fault.

You are not so little anymore and are fighting the battle of over coming your demon. My babie you are my strength for living you today was your first baby step run babie run you will beat this and become the man you need to be. I believe in you I believe God is with you. Remember you are strong and loved-mom

  • @MsDkirby my prayers are with you.......Strength will be found

  • Sweet dreams Tristan Lee Pearson Ford. Mommy's Little Man. Born sleeping on August 25, 2010 at 25 weeks.

  • To my little angel baby- today, Feb8, marks ten years since you grew your angel wings and flew back to Heaven. During the 11 weeks I carried you..I experienced true joy..when you passed...I plummeted to depths of sorrow. I never imagined that such tiny hands could hold my heart. When you passed...an angel wrote your passing in the book of life...as she closed the book...she whispered...too beautiful for earth. Remember we are only separated by our time left on earth.

  • @DantexVirgilx oh my goddness! i am sooo soory for ur loss but remember he is always in your heart 4 the time being u r in my prayers. Good Luck In Heaven Little Boy! :)

  • This has helped alot for me. My son, Ray, died on 1/11/11 from SIDS. He was 4 months and 10 days old. I miss him so much. Thank you.

  • @aelnorth i am so sorry, he is in heaven with the angels, he will never experience pain, loss or sadness or hurt u will be reunited with him again.

  • When i was little this like my lullaby. I love this song so much. Whenever my mom played it I would ask her to play it again.......

  • I just lost my son, he was 11. He passed away 5 days before his 12th birthday. In looking for songs for his memorial c.d. I found this beautiful song. I can not listen to it without crying. He was the most beautiful little man! Talented, outgoing, intelligent beyond his years, and very funny. He was lost due to a game he played at home. He will be greatly missed, by me, his brothers, and sisters. He was the light of all of our lives, and our best friend! I pray that you r.i.p. my little man!

  • @amandawlk Oh my goodness!!! what game was he playing!!!! I am so sorry for your loss him and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers may you be blessed...R.I.P good luck in heaven young man!

  • @amandawlk I'm so sorry to hear that! God bless you and your family..but if you don't mind me asking, what was he playing?

  • @amandawlk i have 2 girls, one has died in my arms, i by the grace of god recussitated her but for a few moments i knew she was gone and that i would never see her again, i feel that i can say i no a little bit of the horribleness u r feeling. god is with u and ur baby and u will b reunited with him someday very soon. You are in my prayers.

He is a handsome boy and this song just makes me think of him I love him so much.
