[gspaddles]

Damn song brings tears to my eyes every time...Miss ya, Dad. Sorry for all those lost years...

[pigeonman41]

prophetic words put to a song, fantastic.

[TRUTHLIGHTANDLOVE]

Everyone talks about their father because he mentions his father in the song but the magic of this message is to tell EVERYONE how you really feel and work things out before its too late.

[rostovron]

cracking song.

[joepel80]

My Dad passed on 4 weeks ago today. While driving last week this song played on the radio. i haven't heard it in years. The tears came and i sang aong so loud. Now listening he missed the birth of his 1st grandhild's birth. Sophia Victoria on 1/5/12. . i always loved this song and now it has a truly special meaning. Thank you

Radio stations always cut out paragraphs 3 and 4. That's why I hate radio. If I was an artist I wouldn't let anyone change anything regardless of royalty. THIS is my art; if it isn't good enough for you, that's not my problem.

[TheAmericanOriginal]

I never knew the title and artist until recently. I remember when this was a new hit on the radio overplayed to death, it just permeated into me and grated on my nerves. Now I love it :D

[aide1984]

@tossercunt1 the lyrics are below

[K3POK3PO]

11歳の長男が「生んでくれて、ありがとう」と言ってくれた。そ­れに対し、俺は未だ父に「ありがとう」を言っていない。言われた­時の感動を思うと、言わなければと思うのだが、素直になれず、早­１年が過ぎる。

Ah, I isten to this all the time on my player.. but so cool you have it here. This song has so much meaning for my brother and I... and others in our family.. The whole album is awesome.. but this describes life for about 99% of the folks out there.. Thank you so much !

[TheGreatGuero]

Oh man. All my hairs are standing up. What an incredible and truly moving song!

[MrsSoulSeeker]

My dad past on Halloween in 1995!! I cry every time I hear this song!! Not a day goes by that I don't think of him!! I love you daddy!! Always in my heart!! RIP :(

[8belleangel8]

i love you daddy Xx

[8belleangel8]

you try listen to this song without crying...i have a dad and i cry everytime i think about whats going to happen when he goes...='''''(

[Roadkill128]

And so it is with generations forward and back. As a father who is having a major disagreement with one of four children, the one who I could always talk to, and not talking about it, my fear is exactly what the song talks about. Most difficult is the knowledge that as a US Army medic he could be redeployed at any moment. I don't sleep well these days. I can't let this go, nor can I push so hard as to push him away with no hope of ever talking again.

[Melissanicole011]

If you dont cry or tear up you have no soul...i cant even listen to the first minute without dying inside </3

[Cloud797]

I just cried a little thinking of a future event that we will all have to deal with at some point. 

[zack044042]

Lost my Father 5 years ago, still miss him so. I was lucky enough to have my opportunity to make peace with him in his " living years" I foyu need to do that , do it now , you dont realize the " finality" you experiece when they are gone.

[julienyjets]

I am listening to an almost.....Today my hubby spoke to his dad for the first time in 18 years....and I am so happy for both of them.....The look on my husbands face....just indescribable

[alyzabee]

This song has so much meaning...

We are holding on to my father's dear life right now. I'm glad that I've said what I needed to him. We are losing hope but I know through God, he will be safe. He will always be my hero!

[everton1974]

@alyzabee i know how you feel this song was out when my dad passed away he is closer to me now than ever and so will yours

[alyzabee]

@everton1974 Thank you! That means a lot to me. I miss him everyday, but I feel his presence still.

[amouletteable]

@alyzabee i miss you my lovely dad RIP :(

[k8harley]

@alyzabee Beautiful, Aly. Don't know if your dad is here or there, but I KNOW he is proud of you and looks forward to sharing a slice of paradise with you and yours. Keep believing, smiling and sharing your good spirit. sc

[alyzabee]
