For all of you people who are unfamiliar with adoption--YES, they are my brothers. They are Vietnamese.

Sorry it's been so long--I'm working full-time this summer. I've already got another video lined up. Hopefully I'll do it sometime this week (and I'll give a little update at the end). :)

LYRICS:

I saw she who played in her Sunday gather dress
outside her house by the white picket fence.
She was chasing butterflies with a net in her hand.
I would stand there catching them in a tin coffee can.
And she'd say,

"Don't ever let them go,
because I tell you so.
They're what my heartbeat wants.
I'll put them in a picture frame in the hall."

When we got a little older we'd go traveling afar.
We'd drive east fifty-two and we'd sleep in my car.
'Wake up in the morning and have to find our way back,
'cause we'd gotten ourselves lost when the sky went black.
And she'd say,

"Don't ever let me go,
because I tell you so.
You're what my heartbeat wants.
I'll put you in a picture frame in the hall."

And now I walk right down the hallway just to see her pictures of the butterflies and me.
And when I stand before them I can feel her heart beating for me.

  • @rymns I'm sorry....I wasn't aware I wasn't allowed to share my opinion

  • You should follow the musicians path or the joker path, not both. Take you songs more seriously, at least if you want to sound honest singing it. Talk about feeling and make jokes at the same time was a bad call.

  • @worldbound15 the kid is great, but "one of the best songs ever written"? Really? Take it easy.You can't compare this song to"stayrway to heaven", "Tom Sawyer", "I Wish You Were Here","Yesterday", etc. It is a good song, but not even close of any of those and thousand of other songs.

    He is ok, and I'm sure he'll be a great musician and songwriter in the future. But he stills need to improve a lot till you can even dream in compare it with the past great musicians and song writers.

  • woww i wish you still made videos. this song is great! :)

  • Absolutely amazing song-and voice- and guitar playing!

  • Possibly one of the best songs ever written? I think so.

  • This song is just amazing...

  • the ending is what makes this video golden.

  • o melhor !
