Trying to do an arrangement of this for Mario Paint.....glad to see a video for this song that doesn't make me bawl like a baby.....kinda puts a damper on the whole thing. He's got such a great voice, and the song......beautiful.
The morning sunrise spread her wings While the moon hung in the sky Held the sea in your hands And happy everafter in your eyes Couldn't leave you to go to heaven I carry you in my smile For the first time my true reflection i see Happy everafter in your eyes Every star in the night Promises the dawn I will be there if you fall To ever so heavily rest upon
Só gostaria de dizer ao único homem capaz de me fazer feliz... Eu Te Amo mais do que qualquer coisa nessa vida, e tudo o que for preciso pra te fazer feliz eu farei...
No disrespect to Heath Ledger but how do you know he's was a great father ...or a good man. He was a public figure .. thats all. America's cultish following of its celebrities will always boggle me....
I'm not american... And I hate the star system and all that shit. But I guess he was, not only when I see pictures, cause we all know how pictures are fake, but also because of this particular song, I never said he was a good man or a great father, just a loving one... ;)
If a man goes to a guy and asks him to make a song for his daughter it shows that he is a good father. I also met Jake Gyllenhaal and he said that Heath was an amaing father
is it just me, or does Ben sound a little like Cat Stevens?? Anyway, what a lovely,forever tribute to a beautiful spirit, both Heath and Matilda. I wish all fathers loved their daughters like Heath loved Matilda,
This song is so amazingly beautiful. There are no words that can explain what this does to me because I just lost someone really special in my life too. It's just so sweet and revokes darling memories.
Wow! This song and I have been threw a lot together. I went about four months listening to this song everyday. I had just lost a loved one, and it was and still is a memorial song. Ben Harper is a pure genius.
yes. Heath called up Ben,and said " hey Ben! I am having a baby girl, can u write me a special song for me and her?" Ben gladly obliged. This is the song.
I can't even express what I am feeling now. Such sorrow and sadness...and such a beautiful song. I think I know Matilda will grow up knowing how much her father loved her. WE all miss dear Heath Ledger...we always will.
What an amazing tribute to his daughter. This is something she will have forever, and this may give her some solice when the road gets curved. Although Heath is not here for her physically, he is watching over her.
With all of the negative speculation surrounding her father's death, hopefully Matilda will this glimmer of hope with this song. RIP dear Heath...we all have troubles in life and deal with them in so many ways, wish someone could have reached you in time...
I was just reading an older interview with B.H. and he mentioned this song was requested by Heath Ledger as a lullaby for his daughter. I knew they were friends that started a label together. That makes me sad I guess, but glad she can have this as a piece of her dad's love. Thank You Ben.
RIP Heath Ledger♥♥
You are an amazing Actor!! Brokeback Mountain, Batman, Ned Kelly.
Everthing you did has been perfect!

La mañana amaneció desplegando sus alas
mientras la luna colgaba todavía en el cielo
Sostuve el mar en tus manos
y la felicidad, para siempre, brilló en tus ojos.
No podría dejarte para ir al cielo
Te llevo presente en mi sonrisa
Por primera vez he visto mi reflejo
en la felicidad que siempre brillará en tus ojos.

Ben Harper said Heath called him and asked him to write a lullaby for his daughter, Matilda. Harper said the song came together easily...
