Billy Elliot - The Letter

[WickedWitchRocks]

I saw this last night and i started crying, cause it makes me think about what happens if my mom died, this is the song i will think of. But i love at the end how she says, "She must have been a very special women." and Billy replys, :No she was just my mom." Made me laugh and cry at the same time, but i guess it lightened to mood.

[TheMerfiderf]

omg the best show ive ever seen i saw it on tuesday and i bawled when i got home i wanted to go see it again ssoooooooooo bad it made me cry

[TheCrazzy8]

But please, Billy

know that I will always be

Proud to have known you

Proud that you were mine

Proud in everything

And you must premise me this, Billy

[iiheartLAbaby]

Beautiful .. Cried ..

[jelpesdaturtle]

cant wait to see Billy Elliot in person! I'll be sure to bring a box of tissues and I'll try not to sob too hard :)

[jonasmiley1234]

[nebby777]

Lee Hall (the dude who wrote this) is SOOOOOOOOOOO amazing

[genevawilsonclassof1]

"What's this?"

and here come the tears :'(

[Nozabil]

Cried soooo hard at this part :( ♥

[MrFunkyfun123]

im in tears now

[MrFunkyfun123]

i cried my eyes out such a good musical

[Prachtschmerle84]

I watched the musical with my mum AND my granny. This even emphasized the meaning of the words for me. I love them both so much!!!

[xamaliaa]

love this song.. so sad </3

[KelticaTheo]

.....So I wasn't the only one flooding the Imperial Theatre last weekend during the show. Phew.

[MegaBillyfan]

it`s such a heartbreaking and amazing song

[TheChloeChanel]

i cried so much when i saw this! :'(

[Beffnerr]

Possibly my favourite Musical I've ever seen. Me, my teachers and classmates, and even men in the audience absolutely fell to pieces! The most incredible, and touching thing i've ever seen. <3

[ashlarHP]

I cried at the song when i first heard it, and then went i went to watch this in london i was in floods of tears!

[xMusicalLoverx]

this SHOULD NOT be shutting down on Broadway!!!!

[ashlarHP]

@xMusicalLoverx i completely agree! this is the best musical i have ever seen in london! truly amazing! <3

[karlaabc123]

This is the first time ive heard this song and im sobbing

[TheKiwibirdie]

thankyou broadway for introducing me to this. can't wait to see it again in west end :') x

[iheartmusic122]

not many songs make me cry but the 1st time i herd this song it was live at west end. i was next to a load of my friends.......and i balled my eyes out at this. its such an emotional and sad song. but the combanation of micheal and everything else there is what makes it such a breath taking musical. anyone planning to go to the theatre book tickets for this musical.

[Jennybonbenny21]

the tears start coming at the first "dear billy"

[summeerrxo]

I saw Billy Elliot in London in 2009, and again this August. I saw it both times with my Mam. It's weird, because, her mother died when she was 6, but she was able to hold the tears in during these scenes. I, however, cried loads and loads as soon as they started singing. Billy Elliot is the most moving, incredibly directed, acted and performed show I have ever seen. It's just amazing. This song is beautiful by the way.

[placetocrash]

This song is beautiful :')

[PeanutNbutter2]

I saw this in NYC with Tade as my Billy...AMAZING

[WestEndEsme]

Crycrycrycrycrycrycyy:3

[dogdeball88]

this song always brings me 2 tears!

[musicizlife97]

This never fails to make me cry

[ashlarHP]

Every time i listen to this i cry! i have never seen the musical but this is so sad :( x

[dancenerd12345]

those 7 people who have disliked this must not have a heart!

[Bellajoenella]

I watched this show in the theatre and the little boy that was sitting beside me was crying his eyes out. His mom was trying to get him to quiet down and he was sobbing like crazy. It was the saddest/funniest thing ever.

[carys1985]

you have to be made of stone NOT to cry when you see this song performed in the show!!

[NTonksGleekAI]

i LOVE this ! i cried so hard not just the first time i listened to it but the first couple of times....Its is such a sweet song...I love it! love love love love it!!!

[CranberryMonster]

I have to cry EVERY TIME.

It is so amazingly beautiful

[SangoTheHoe]

My mom died when I was 6 and this fits so well... When I saw the play it made me bawl my eyes out. Love you Mom, RIP.

[rex16rex]

@SangoTheHoe my mam died last year and i cry everytime i hear this song!

[KateMcT]

Everytime I hear this, I think of Princess Diana and her sons. Such a beautiful song.

[metinkssumtin]

I seen this in February, was in bits and now I'm in bits again. Hate this musical -.-

[hackle5]

Elton John went to town when he wrote the music to this play.

[hammie1122]

Saw this in Denmark, Juelsminde.. This song almost made me cry.. trying to hide if of course, but its hard.. it a beautiful song, and beautiful voices <3. The lyrics are VERY touching

[lucyybieberr]

i reaaaaaally want to see billy elliot again :( :( is it weird that i miss it ?

[lifehappens9]

@lucyybieberr not at all :) I remember the first time I saw it, I couldn't stop counting the number of weeks since I saw it (I got up to week 31). and I'm still obsessed. so don't sweat it :)

[mcsmilan1]

I saw BE in Dallas yesterday with Lex Ishimoto as Billy. He and the whole cast were wonderful. I hadn't seen the movie and didn't know what to expect. I sure would have brought tissue if I'd known about this number. I had tears streaming down unstoppable, it was so moving. Highly recommend this musical. Truly engaging in every way.

[liteupthestage]

didn't see this coming when i saw the show. couldn't stop crying!!

[isssyyyy1]

makes me cry everytime:') :(

[MrTobyGraham]

this is the nicest song in the world :'(

[zinkix2]

Im from denmark, and we are actully playing the musical in Juelsminde soon :D

[dbullis58]

I just saw this last night in Toronto amazing amazing show I cried through this whole number

[kev9089798767]

Great song. I still think I prefer the way they did it in the film, though.

[perform4lyfe]

6 people dont have a mom...

[Boochickadoo2]

I CRIED LIKE A BABY THIS WHOLE SONG!! My best friend's mom died when she was 8 so she was all I could think about.

[Wildflower1497]

@Boochickadoo2 i had a friend whos mom died a couple years ago, i saw this in a live performance. i thought about him, and cried...in the middle of a theater x$

[Boochickadoo2]

@Wildflower1497 I saw it in NYC and my whole row was crying then I told them why I was crying so hard so they cried harder. We then laughed a little to try and stop the crying.

[bubblebuddy71]

i just saw this play and i loved it so much i was crying! :( it was the best play ever

[AquaArrow27]

Everyone. EVERYONE Cried during this song when I saw it in London. If you pretend like you didn't your a heartless liar.



[edwardelricswife123]

3:49 is the worst part of the song

[MerMerROX96]

whoever disliked this song has no frickin heart

[DutchEqualsAwesome]

I saw it in Toronto. Damn I cried

[frecklesandsunshine9]

Makes me cry almost every time. "Know I was always there."

[MsEmilia1990]

love love love billy elliot<3 :D

[xEccentricElectricx]

watched this in NYC yesterday.... Cried so hard...

[broadwaybaby243]

seeing it in 2 weeks! cannot wait...

[jread1000]

So many plays, and I've lost track of how many are mine.

[jread1000]

My mom died when I was just 6 years old. This song really gets at my heart. It conveys every emotion I feel. The hurt, love, and yearning for someone gone. As Victor Hugo said, "Music expresses that which cannot be expressed in words, but on which it is impossible to be silent."

[Solyle37]

Liam Mower really does this song justice

[Solyle37]

Beautiful...

I may have to  press the replay button

[ShannonMichelle12312]

The five people that pressed dislike, you have no heart to sick people

[MaraudersMoony]

Coming from a girl who knows what it's like to lose a parent at a young age, I am awed at how well they conveyed the emotions in this song. It brings me to tears each time I listen to it, and reminds me just how much I miss my dad. in other words; this song is simply beautiful. :)

[lavalola101]

When Billy goes "No, she was just me mum!"

I always give out a sob, he played a boy who went through alot but still kept his innocence.

[ErikaLovesGiuseppe]

I convinced my choir director to let us sing this song for our Spring Pop Show, which the theme is Broadway. It was a "Had-to-do-it" Thing:)

[BeepzMo]

Seen it twice... cried both times both the mum's letter and billy's reply... i was in tears yesterday when i went to see if for the second time.

[awsomedancerjp]

I auditioned for this on Broadway and got 3 callbacks but then I didn't really want it because I had never seen it and I am not the type of person who is like that with a stage mom and everything. I really love this song <3

[JRRSattheY]

how could anyone not like this song?!?! i guess it was too sad for them to handle................

[peaceloveanime286]

5 people didnt get letters from their moms

[teambookwormm]

love this musical... deff one of mah top 5. This song made me cry the first time I saw it... <3

[jkdfkf101]

omg this song just brakes my heart

[miltje96]

lovee <3

amazing.

[lozboz111]

Never have I listened to this and not cried. It's the most truthful song ever. Just makes me think of my mummyyy </3

[piscesgirl1998]

@RaizeSimba I saw it too in Charlotte! Wasn't it amazing? I was brought to tears by Michael Dameski's performance <3

[swansong95]

'she must have been a very special woman'

'no. she was just me mam'

so much wisdom there.

[piscesgirl1998]

This is the best musical I've ever seen. Im a dancer and watching Michael Dameski dance and act was really touching. (I know thats not him singing) This song made me cry. Words cannot describe how much Billy Elliot means to me.

[jelinke1]

heey i am from Belgium but i've been in londen with a schooltrip. I have seen the musical and it was amazing! Thanks for all the good times with my best friends! It was the best time of my life! Thanks for the beautiful memories..Londen I never forget you...-xx-xx-xx-

[princessslm1997]

SOOO SADDD I CRIED!!!!

[wenhmilypty]

it meant tears...

[94musicante]

Wow...I'd like to see this Musical, it's amazing but I don't think It will come out in Italy...Anyway this song is MOVING

[Temari0Is0Cool]

this is a great song. it's so sad and so beautiful. i can't wait to see this show in March :')

[SangoTheHoe]

This song hit really hard when I saw it yesterday! Reminds me of my deceased mother. I cried so hard!

[92dreaming]

Even when I read the lyrics, I start crying! :(

[shambles07]

I was an emotional wreck when I saw this last month. Cried so much.

[CheezeCube]

this song makes me cry so much! i love it tho!

[AriaAsacura]

i heard this in the theatre and cried so hard

[LesMis05]

I cried so much watching this in London's West End!

[Sobekain]

Definitely a tear-jerker!

[miltje96]

very emitionel, but i am in love with it.. <3

[Hendroy]

I saw the musical in London three months after my mother died. I couldn't stop crying, and it is still very emotional.

[LittleWhiteShoes]

@Hendroy sorry about your mom ;(

[CarolaAnker]

Ev'ry time I wet my eyes again.....great song... great musical....

[KimDaveKajFan]

is it liam mower? yes?

[Charmedfan2010]

I love this song to death. It makes me cry all the time- and yet it is kind of confusing cause I have no idea how the mom died. I mean he is obviously imagining her. The reprise is even more confusing... can someone please clarify? Cause this is like my favorite song of the show.

[Loewenbaby07]

@Charmedfan2010

she was sick and died when billy was young...

and she was the 'backbone' of the family, after which deaths the family kind off broke apart... til the end when they get happy again ^^

so yeah the scenes he speaks or talks with her are imaginary ^^

[SineeLockerbieexx]

we had a rehersal for this show yestarday and i cried like majour at this song :( its so touching x

[mcflyrcool]

i played billy In a school musical and i sung this song and cryed :'(

[scarleypops]

[scarleypops]

[amandastar99]

[AnotherIncipient]

No, I'm not crying about a song from a show that I have never seen...

[courtnay777]

best musical i have ever seen!.. i love you mom!

[randaisawesome41]

When I saw this in Chicago I cried during this song and the reprise because it made me think of what it would be like if I didn't have my mom. :'(

[TheHaHaStar]

@randaisawesome41 It's a horrible feeling. Trust me. This song, and the reprise hit the nail right on the head.

[cookiedoh666]

when i went to watch this i justabou held backt he tears but whe i gt home and put it on i burst into tears at the first line and now i can't listen to it witout cryin

[ElphiexJasperxEmmett]

I played the Mum in our show of Billy Elliot and whenever the boy who played Billy sang the beginning bit I was nearly crying all the time :( Such a great and awesome song :) I hope I get to see it in London :)

[JustCiaraable]

I Played Billy's Mum In Our School Production

I Also Got To Perform In Leicster's Curve Theatre With The Billy Elliot The Musical: Billy Youth Theatre.

It Was Amazing

[HaleyIsYouhas]

[EllenaaXDancerr]

[kirstyandrews93]

[justinebieberluv1]

[robinscute12345]

when i saw this at the theater yesterday i loved this song right away! Tears stared streaming down my face and i had to put my binoculars up over my eyes so my dad didnt notice but i wanted to break down crying, of course i didnt cause i was in a theater. It touched me so much since my mom left me my sis and my dad when i was younger. Though i get to see her still this just totally touched me in the deepest way! I love this song! <3
