  • I sing this song to my daughter. I have since she was born. While the song is likely a metaphor for star-crossed lovers, it's also very descriptive of a parent's love for their child.

    When you have a child you are introduced to an unparalleled love for a person, but you know inevitably that person is going to have to move on to find their own life; find their own loves. They must live in their own world. Despite the unfathomable love you feel for them you must surrender them to the world.

  • this song breaks the heart.
