my mom sang this to me every night when i was a kid... back then i just thought it was a lullaby she made for me, but when i found out it was tom petty, i dove headfirst into his music.. and i know that when i have children i will sing this to them every night. just as my mother once did for me... XoXo
this song has big meaning to me my dad got into a bad car wreck and was tetter tottering between life and death. me my mom and my sis listened to that song evryday cause we knew we were alright for now. it got me thru s difficult time. he survived that year in 95" i was 14 and tom petty was my favorite musician
@olon1993 Shes so amazing. She listens to this song on here when i dont sing it to her and she knows my youtube account name and she found this comment on her own and liked it three times =) I love her
My dad used to have this CD in his car, and still does. So, this song makes me quite emotional. I have it on my iPod and when it comes on I just start crying like a baby. The song also REALLY relates to our relationship. We don't really go off of the future, but we're alright for now. So, basically this song really has a deep meaning to it for me.
My daddy sang this to me when I was a baby. His voice is so strong and...I just sang this to my girlfriend as she was going to bed tonight. After she fell asleep - and when I realized where I had learned it, I cried. I love you daddy, and I love you Mo. I'll see you in the morning. <3
I spent all day looking for this song. My ex and I used to sing it to our daughter every night, he passed away last summer and I've been thinking of this song. <3
My mama used to sing this to me as a child. I am 16, and even now I have her come into my room at night every once in a while to sing this beautiful song to me. <3
Hah! I see a lot of your dads sang this to you, that is soooo neat, the only reason I even know this song is because my loving husband sings it to our daughter when she is trying to sleep! I heart Tom Petty, and dads everywhere!
gotta leave another comment lol i know this is alot of dads and there daughters song and i am very proud to say it is me and my dads song it still can put me to sleep just like when i was little:) i love you dad thank you for everything :)
This song, while seemingly quite calm and relaxing, is actually very creepy...creepy in the same sense that if porcelain dolls were to come to life, I'd be running for the hills.
I sang this song to my daughter too.. a thousand times,,at bedtime,,, she is now 13, and asks me to sing it to her.. Love it.! She is such a great girl!
I sang this to my little girl a few moments after she was born, and I still sing it to her now - badly - but she calls it 'Daddy's song' and there is no feeling like it on earth. Thanks Tom - you've probably made a whole load of Dads stand a little bit taller.
I just had a dream in where I am singing this song to... I assume ... is my future kid... woke up with a funny feeling... Just found this comment as a nice coincidence.
I was born in '88, this album came out in '89, so my dad listened to it a lot while I was a kid, and so I knew this was Dad's CD, but I wanted to listen to it all the time. I don't think my dad ever sang it to me as a kid, but in my little mind, it was him singing it to me because it was the music he liked.
@ireneusz5162 This was my "baby song" (thats what i called it) too! my bro's was wildflowers, and when it was time for us to be put to sleep, we would each get our own song..
I sung it to my son Phoenix practically every night since conception. He recognized it right away the first time he heard it outside the womb... I LUV IT - THANK YOU!
Goodnight baby, sleep tight my love. May God watch over, you from above. Tomorrow I'm workin;'what would I do? I'd be lost and lonely, if not for you. So close your eyes; We're alright ... for now. I've spent my life travelin', I've spent my life free. I could not repay all, you've done for me . So sleep tight baby; Unfurrow your brow. And know I love you, We're alright for now...We're alright for now.
This is a beautiful song by Tom Petty and I have never once heard it played on the radio.I love You Tube for helping me to discover great music that I had never heard before.
