True. I knew that the day will come I will have to my leave my one and only daughter. I just pray to God that when that time comes she'll have a family on her own with a responsible man that will love her forever.
My daddy's been gone nearly a year. (5/25/13) I was tending to him in hospice. I remembered that he opened his eyes and saw me sitting on his bed. He said to me, "You know, they can't fix this, they can't fix me?" I replied, I know Pop, I know. I told him that I loved him and he said, I love you too, I always have. I held his hand as he took his last breath. I put my head on his chest and listened to the last time his heart would beat. He was gone. If you still have your daddy, hug him tight make sure that he knows you love him. I love and miss you Pop! Beautiful song.
2:41 when her voice began to crack, I got goosebumps and tears in my eyes. This song is so emotional. This always makes me cry. Love you dad. Wish you a long and healthy life. ❤️
Mine went when I was 13 it was so hard & still is but I am a piece of him & I know he loves me & doesn't want me to feel too sad or scared & he is looking after me even though he's not here anymore. 🥺💗
My dad died when I was five and i still remember it. He was sleeping and my mom and sis were watching TV in the living room. I asked them to blow up a balloon for me and my mom said to ask dad. i remember as soon as i got to the door i felt so cold. I walked up to him. I called to him and he didn't wake up. i touched his hand and i felt how cold and weak it was. He died of a heart attack in his sleep. I never even got to say goodbye or i love you. :' (
I can understand your emotions I had a father figure whom I still didn't had the chance to tell him good bye or see his dead body. He was missing in action from war we never bad the chance to tell him good bye
I lost my daddy 29.1.2024 plus my son to cancer 21st 3. 2019 my daddy liked this song when I went to see him in hospital on the Saturday I'm glad I seen him he managed to say I love you my lass I knew he wouldn't make it I never got to cuddle him got the chance to get to hospital in time my fone started ringing at 2.45pm I picked it said I know my mum asked how I knew I said I seen it for my own eyes the Sunday I played this song and it's a true saying hearing is last last to go he couldn't talk yet he heard this song ajndl tears running streaming down his cheeks love you my precious son and love you daddy 💔😇😇💔😢😢
Cried so hard over this my dad just died on 4/13/14 at 8:45 p.m. and, I did see my dad waste away in the hospital. I held his hand and, told him he could go that I would be alright. This is truly beautiful I miss my dad so much. I know he is watching over me now. RIP dad I will ALWAYS love you.
callmekico Sorry to hear this you have to just look to your faith and, have strength. I've learned through all of this you have to be strong and know that as hard as it is, he will be in a better place and, not have to suffer anymore. It's only been a month for me and, I still feel terrible I hear that it gets better with time, I can only hope that. Prayers to you and your family.
I'm sorry for your loss in my situation I knew my dad was dying, that didn't make it any easier. This is by far the hardest thing I've ever went through in my life. I know they are both watching over us now. The memories come back in waves to me. I wasn't ready for him to go even though, I knew he had to.
I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer when I was 2 years old and grew up with an extremely hostile step dad. My dad was an exceptional man who always put his family first and I am so incredibly heartbroken that I didn't get very much time with him. He died within 4 months of his diagnosis. I feel for all of you who have lost your dads ♡♡ There's a void in my life that can never be filled but I know he's watching over me. It's so hard for me to watch father/daughter dances and know I'll never have my dad walk me down the aisle or watch me graduate from University. But I'm lucky that he was in my life at all. Love you so much daddy rip ♡
im sorry for your loss but not to worry everything happens for a good maby if ur dad hadnt left u wouldnt have understand how much one of the greatest men to be alive meant to you my daddy is my hero and always will be even when he is gone
This is my 2nd cousin. I'm Native and I got to meet her when I went to visit her for the first time a while ago my last name is Richard but again she is my (2nd cousin) it was wonderful seeing my grandpa cry when he went to see his granddaughter :)
I also lost my daddy 2 weeks ago, on 05/19 =( . You will never be ready for a loss like that one, it will always be too soon. That´s what kept saying the day he died "it´s too soon" but then, I realized it will always be too soon to let go the first love of your life
#crystalshawnanda I played this song at my dads furneal!! Cause he passed after I had major surgery from bowel cancer once he knew they got all he littery let go!! And now again may have
I lost my boy at the age of 22 years old on 10-Aug-13. He was hit on his motorcycle on 8-Aug-13 and passed away 2 days later from the injuries he sustained. He was the best kid a Dad could have asked for and I love him more than anything on this earth. 6 Months 1 Week and 1 Day later I lost my Dad, also a good man. He was a Vietnam Veteran and Retired after 20 years of active service. He had been exposed to Agent Orange and it set up a multitude of health issuse throughout his life. He always loved the Army and America and never spoke a bad word about the service nor the war he fought. The song means 2 things to me. It says that my Dad does not have to fight so hard anymore, that he can be at peace to go home to his Creator. That I will be ok. It also suggest that after a year of being torrn apart from the inside. I can let go of my Son. Something I don't think I am ready to do.
Abi Wamunyu Lost mine about 5 months ago.Telling him to let go was the hardest thing I ever had to say....I had to pluck up the courage for a while before i could actually say it.Not without breaking down...
Telling my daddy its ok to let go was the hardest thing I've ever had to do... I was 21 when my daddy left me it has been almost 8yrs since that day and its still fresh in my mind. This song hits home truly for me.
Such a beautiful song ! Very proud of you caring for people and especially personal family times when you are standing between life and death...humbling..sensitive..love conquers all !!! Thank you Crystal ! God bless !!
I and my family was with my father and mother when they died several years apart , I couldn't say "you can go now daddy". God took them both at His timming . Now they are with Him and are watching over all their children.
I used this song for mine and my dad’s first dance at my wedding. It is absolutely beautiful. He was holding back his tears. Then I listened to this song and played it for him while he was in the hospital full of cancer. I lost my dad on March 9, 2019. I will forever say this is my favourite song ever ❤
The last verse of this song holds so true for me right now. My father is laying in the hospital with Lung cancer just wasting away to nothing and when I hear the last verse of this song... I just break down and start crying. I love him and it hurts so much... but I will be happy when he is finally at peace, he's suffered so much over these last few months...
Jessica Blaylock It was just a few days after I posted this message here that my father passed away. I miss him so much but I know he's in a better place and at least he's not suffering anymore.
My dad died 4 days ago on my birthday, and I sang this song in his ear as he was passing.. I've never ever felt such pain Best strongest man I've ever known
This song was released months before I lost my dad, my rock to cancer. 11 years later and I still cannot get through this song without completely breaking down.
today is my father's birthday.."you can let go now papa" this is what we said to him while he was in the intensive care unit...he died peacefully while on dialysis. We missed you papa. We love you
i think this song hits those of us who have already lost a father the hardest. don't ever take your fathers for granted, cherish them and tell them that you love them while you still can..
My beloved dad held on as I drove over 200 miles to be at his bedside. My eldest son and i held his hands as he passed away. A big part of my heart went with him and I will miss him always x
I lost my daddy almost 7 years ago. He held on long enough after suffering for years to see me get married and have a family of my own. Just the next year I lost my husband in a horrible accident & now I have a daughter who now understands this song much to well for her age. Hold those you love and NEVER leave them without a hug and kiss. You never know when that lost moment you'll have together will be.
This song tears me up, and I try to avoid it...but something brings me back time and time again to this video. Dad passed on October 8, 2006, in my arms, with Mom, my sister, and my brothers at the bedside, in the same room where their wedding pictures were taken. Dad got through Omaha Beach but not through cancer. So, for my Dad and all the Dads of everyone who reads this...rest in peace, until we meet again.
just found this song. I'm in tears lost my dad 2 yrs past on Feb 13th. the same day as my husbands birthday so I was emotional that day. as it was sudden. miss him so much. this is a great song and great voice. xxxx
This song hits close to home for me cause I did have to watch my dad lay in a hospital bed and lose all his strength to the point he couldn't feed himself. He had multiple myeloma, which is a type of cancer that attacks everything. I will never get to have him walk me down the aisle or have a father daughter dance. Its been 8 1/2 years since he has passed away but I still have days where I wish I could call him and just hear his voice or have him meet his granddaughter. I know he watches over us everyday but I still miss him like crazy.
Love your daddy for all its worth before its too late! My daddy was taken from me four years ago at 54. The last verse of this song is so true! He was the strongest man I ever knew and it was so hard to see him waste away in the hospital like he did. Cancer is a mean disease if its not caught in time! RIP DADDY!!
they played this at my grandfather's funeral and i cried my eyes out. it's been 4 years now but i know he is in a better place. R.I.P. grandpa i love you.
L remember my dad was in coma when died l told him you can let dad all be ok and all take care mom this august 16 2021 every time remind me of that day l will never forgive he was the best dad every
love you daddy, second Christmas without you, 58 years young. The lord above had bigger plans for you. Your little spot wasn't ready but one day at a time I feel I am.
everytime i hear this i cry. makes me think of my father!! i wish he was still here with me but i know he is in a better place and watching over me! i love you dad. you may not be here but you will always be my daddy..
I was so sure this was Amanda Wilkinson when I heard this on the radio... Shocked to learn that it's not. It's a really deep song. Somebody I know is losing a loved one to cancer and I thought of this song for them today.
I lost my dad on Friday June 22 from cancer we only found out he had cancer 4 weeks before.... this song makes me bawl everytime I listen to it...we will be will be playing it at his funeral on Friday
I remember when I first heard this story in my parents bedroom in 2010. My dad had shown it to me and I cried. I have now witnessed crystal play twice and met her the second time. As soon as she made eye contact with me I started to cry just like I was watching/listening to this video for the first time. I admire crystal so much.
dad used to tease me everytime i sang this song as a little girl, but i knew that he was so proud that i was the only daughter of the 8 kids to be singing. when he passed, i felt that i had to sing this at the service. as a native, it wasnt allowed at our longhouse, but i know my dad, and his family. they made sure i sang this to him, and everyone
My dad passed away (5 years ago last month) and I sometimes miss him so bad. Although I'm grateful for the time i spent with him, i still wish he would still be here sometimes.
forever blessed my dad is still right by my side sure we fight an even go into physical abuse but I know my dad cares an he's just teaching me right from wrong I love you dad. XX this is gonna me my father daughter dance
I never knew my father growing up, I didn't meet him till I was 13... My grandfather was who I called dad and 2 days ago I had to let him go.... He was 81 years old... As he was lying there holding my hand tightly for the last hour of his life all I could think of was this song and how I was NOT ready to tell him to go yet :( but he is no longer suffering, and the last thing he saw was me & my 2 beautiful children as he slipped away with his last breath....
I am 44 and my dad died when I was 20. Everything I am now I owe to my dad. I would not be a nurse and not have sympathy for all those fighting cancer and fighting for their life if it was not for my dad being in the hospital for 104 days and passing away there. I have a special place in my heart for all those that ever took care of him and once in awhile I see one and they still talk about him, tells you how special he was to others also. Thank you for such a great song with such a message!
Dad just passed away this morning March 11, 2022. I don't want to let go dad but I know there's no more pain in the arms of our creator you've suffered too much. I miss you terribly pang. I want to hug you so tight. I love you forever papang. Martinez Gandam Watan. I'll try to go back home. But I don't like the thought of coming home from Japan to Philippines without seeing you waiting for us sitting outside the house. Papang it's so hard and difficult to accept.
I first heard this song on that Pass it On commercial about the father dying, and it made me cry. I'm 21, and my father died a year and a half ago, and I wasn't there to say good bye. This song makes me wish I could have told my dad that it was okay for him to let go.
Iam a man, 23 years old. I cry every time I hear this song. I lost my dad January 4 of this year. He went into the hospital early christmas day. I guess this song just go to show you than a Real man crys when he losing someone important in his life.
though written from a girls prospective a song i need to hear, just got off the phone moments ago to hear my dad says his goodbyes. a call that i didn't want to end, the miles apart kept me from being there but know that i care and you will always be in my heart,
Lost my dad to pancreatic cancer 8 years ago today. This song never fails to make me cry my heart out. He was my whole world. People don't appreciate their parents enough! I would do anything to have him back
My moms friend has been off life support for 11 hours now and i know she's holding on for her boys. Its so sad because i can't imagine the pain her boys are going through right now. Wake up Marti don't let go just yet
This song means more to me than anyone could ever know. I am just eighteen and six years ago two days before Christmas I had to tell my father over the phone that he had to let go of his life because he was only staying alive for me. I cried enough to bridge the gap between where I was in Kansas and his hospital bed here in Texas. I love this song because the message will always ring true. I love my father, present tense, not past. I always will love him.
I lost my Daddy 3 days ago and I have chosen this as one of the songs for his services. He served our country in the US Navy, and in Law Enforcement for 26 years, but his passion in life was hunting, fishing, and the love for my sisters and I. He battled cancer for the past 2 years so he is no longer suffering, but ours has just begun. His legacy will live in us for eternity but we know he has "gone fishing" forever where the 'big one's' never get away.
This will be for my dad when he does pass away. I can't hold back the tears sometimes because my dad and I are so close so to envision him on his death bed one day will be very hard on me. I love you dad always.
Jimmy Davis It's one of the hardest things you'll ever see, I was there when I was only 6 years old looking at dad wondering why god decided to take him instead of someone else, it's been 11 years coming on 12 this november and I would give absolutely ANYTHING to see that guys face one last time....... cherish every moment you have with him man
This song makes me cherish my dad so much more. I wish we had a better relationship. I wish I could tell him I love him, but it's akward between us. I wish he was more emotional. Anyways I love him
Tomorrow will be 17 years since my father passed. I am now 21 and I still cant let him go. I know he is around me in spirit and I enjoy his presence. Normally im very emotional around this time of the year but this year I know he is giving me the strength to continue on. I love you very much daddy and i will ALWAYS be your little girl...rest in peace daddy
makes me cry i lost my dad the year this song came out...he may have not been there for me much through life but he was still my dad and it hurts me terribly he couldnt see my son come into the world..but i see it as my little angel taking the place of another one thats no longer with us..i love them both
ok my mom and dad got devorsted and i only got to see my dad like when i 4 and now im 12 he has two sons and he loves them more than me and i was his first kid so when i hear this song i cry really hard i still love u daddy hope u come home soon
Sometimes things dont work out they way they should. it's not ur fault. I lost my two youngest to divorce and they moved to Texas. It broke my heart!!! I'm sure he loves you! Hes just tied up with hs new family. Be patient, he'll come around and remember he's human too and even Dad's make mistakes!!
im a daddys girl and every time ths song makes me cry. i love my daddy more than anything. and everytime i hear this song i always think about how its gonna kill me to lose my dad. he is my everything. i have a loving boyfriend but no one compares to my dad.
I'm 13 years old going to be 14 my dad pasted away May 14 7:45p.m. I saw him pass R.I.P daddy I love you with all my heart and from this day I still wish you here.... miss you and love you lots and I'll see you some day again
As I am losing my Daddy, right now, this is more precious and meaningful than anything I have ever heard. Ever. I will miss my Daddy more than I could ever express in words. My heart knows though.
My dad died today. I sat beside him, stroked his hair and said, “It’s ok Dad, we will be ok, you can go.” And he did. A friend of mine told me that I needed to hear this song. I did. Thanks. Goodbye Daddy. 15/06/2020.
I just heard this for the first time, my 15 yr old daughter told me to listen to it...I have tears in my eyes, what a powerful song...I could actually see my little girl with her daddy ( my ex hubby) I have never wanted to hug my little girl so much as I do right now...
my father passed away in december. I loved him so much and played this song at his memorial and I remember holding his hand as he was dying, telling him it was ok.....I would be ok....but I lied...I miss you Daddy
This song reminds me of my daddy i lost him on Feb.15th 2010 its almost been a year and the pain still hasn't eased i don't think it ever will i love you daddy and miss you until we see each other again may you fly on the wings of angels :(
its been 7 years today I miss you so much.....its not getting any easier but thank you for watching out for me and guiding me through my darkest time.....i love you daddy!
I haven't lost him yet but since my mom has been back and forth to Afghanistan since I was 18 (23 now) I can't imagine the world with out. But this ones for my cousins husband passed away this year! RIP David we'll see you around.
I used to be really close to my Dad, but over the years we drifted apart. To the point where its awkward being in a room alone with him. He's pretty much a chain smoker, & cancer runs rapid in our family, & it scares me that one day I'll lose him to it. I never really tried to reconnect with him, but after hearing this, & reading these stories, it makes me want to change that. I'm deeply sorry to everyone who has lost their Fathers, or in some cases Mothers. Thank you for the push I needed.
This song reminds me more of my pepaw than my dad. He hung on until he was sure that it was ok for him to go home. He will forever be in my heart. 11-19-10
It has been 13 years today that my dad passed away..I was 8 years old then & I am now 21...I miss him very much & it kills me to see other girls or kids w/ their dads, but I know mine will always be w/ me in spirit..RIP 9/15/47-5/4/99
One time I actually thought about when my dad would leave me. Just the thought brought tears to my eyes and I had to remind myself that he was still here. I'm sure it'll kill me when he does need to go to the Lord, but right now I'm enjoying the time I have with him.
I love this song due to just losing my father /Hero June 21, 2013. He was battling the big C and sadly lost the battle. We miss him a lot. The part at the end of the song were it said the strong east man I know faded away to nothing etc... Well I really had said that. My dad was so strong never seen him cry until his last breath than a tear went down his face. That almost killed me. That is the hardest thing to watch, a close love one pass a way in your arms. I wish he was still here badly..
This song was released the summer before my beloved grandfather passed away and was reunited in heaven with the love of his life, my grandmother. He died just before midnight on February 2nd, 2009, about 21 months after my grandma. I almost wanted to put this song on the photo montage video for the wake, but it would've probably made everybody cry hysterically, more than we already were. He was a wonderful father of 6 and a grandfather of 6. I was his first grandson and feel kind of special. He taught us so much. I loved fishing with him and listening to the old crooners like Sinatra on the radio in his car. Life just isn't the same without my grandparents. It was a lot harder on my younger cousin because he didn't really have a good father figure in his life. My aunt re-married and he has a step-dad, and he did/still does occasionally see his biological father on holidays and birthdays, but our grandpa seemed to be the better father figure and practically raised the kid.
This song reminded me of my grandfather. i started to cry because i know as i get older so does he and i don't know how much longer i have left with him. This songs so beutiful and can touch anyone, even if they have lost no one or it wasn't a father.
I am dedicating this song to both of the men in my life. John, my dad, and Robert, my step-dad. Both still live, but I feel this song is the perfect for them both. I love you both with all of my heart. And your little girl is ready to do this on her own... But I will call if I need anything and just to let you know I am okay.
This song can bring the biggest man to tears
True. I knew that the day will come I will have to my leave my one and only daughter. I just pray to God that when that time comes she'll have a family on her own with a responsible man that will love her forever.
yep ...
@@reyzer32 ll@l)9
It did....the first time I heard it, yesterday. And it's still bringing them😢
My daddy's been gone nearly a year. (5/25/13) I was tending to him in hospice. I remembered that he opened his eyes and saw me sitting on his bed. He said to me, "You know, they can't fix this, they can't fix me?" I replied, I know Pop, I know. I told him that I loved him and he said, I love you too, I always have. I held his hand as he took his last breath. I put my head on his chest and listened to the last time his heart would beat. He was gone. If you still have your daddy, hug him tight make sure that he knows you love him. I love and miss you Pop! Beautiful song.
2:41 when her voice began to crack, I got goosebumps and tears in my eyes. This song is so emotional. This always makes me cry. Love you dad. Wish you a long and healthy life. ❤️
The best song ever written for a father and daughter's relationship.
Dance with my father by Luther vandross as well
I cry every time I hear this beautiful song. My dad is still with me, but I am so scared to lose him one day...
I’m scared to lose my dad too...he’s the best 🥺
Mine went when I was 13 it was so hard & still is but I am a piece of him & I know he loves me & doesn't want me to feel too sad or scared & he is looking after me even though he's not here anymore. 🥺💗
I lost my dad I was 8 years old he died off cancer he was only 44 years he died in my arms
I hear u loud and clear!!
My old man is still here, I’m a 36 year old grown man. When he goes one day, I’m buggered.
Rest in Peace dad. Gone but never forgotten. I love you till the end of time. :(
My dad died when I was five and i still remember it. He was sleeping and my mom and sis were watching TV in the living room. I asked them to blow up a balloon for me and my mom said to ask dad. i remember as soon as i got to the door i felt so cold. I walked up to him. I called to him and he didn't wake up. i touched his hand and i felt how cold and weak it was. He died of a heart attack in his sleep. I never even got to say goodbye or i love you. :' (
I can understand your emotions I had a father figure whom I still didn't had the chance to tell him good bye or see his dead body. He was missing in action from war we never bad the chance to tell him good bye
WOW sorry I feel your pain but he is watching over you
Heartbreaking 😢... this got my tears streaming down my face...

Cried so hard over this my dad just died on 4/13/14 at 8:45 p.m. and, I did see my dad waste away in the hospital. I held his hand and, told him he could go that I would be alright. This is truly beautiful I miss my dad so much. I know he is watching over me now. RIP dad I will ALWAYS love you.
:( im so sorry. :( I know how you feel. I'm 12 and my dad is probably going to die this week from cancer.
callmekico Sorry to hear this you have to just look to your faith and, have strength. I've learned through all of this you have to be strong and know that as hard as it is, he will be in a better place and, not have to suffer anymore. It's only been a month for me and, I still feel terrible I hear that it gets better with time, I can only hope that. Prayers to you and your family.
I'm sorry for your loss in my situation I knew my dad was dying, that didn't make it any easier. This is by far the hardest thing I've ever went through in my life. I know they are both watching over us now. The memories come back in waves to me. I wasn't ready for him to go even though, I knew he had to.
Madison Swift Thank you!
my dad passed away 01/04/2012 I know how you feel
There's only two people in this world who will love you no mater what you do or who you become and thats a mom and a dad. Thumbs up if you agree.
I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer when I was 2 years old and grew up with an extremely hostile step dad. My dad was an exceptional man who always put his family first and I am so incredibly heartbroken that I didn't get very much time with him. He died within 4 months of his diagnosis.

So emotional and I wish I could go to Crystal's house again
I also lost my daddy 2 weeks ago, on 05/19 =( . You will never be ready for a loss like that one, it will always be too soon. That´s what kept saying the day he died "it´s too soon" but then, I realized it will always be too soon to let go the first love of your life
thank you so much Crystal Shawanda for singing this song,
#crystalshawnanda I played this song at my dads furneal!! Cause he passed after I had major surgery from bowel cancer once he knew they got all he littery let go!! And now again may have
Hello crystal... how are you doing?
I lost my boy at the age of 22 years old on 10-Aug-13. He was hit on his motorcycle on 8-Aug-13 and passed away 2 days later from the injuries he sustained. He was the best kid a Dad could have asked for and I love him more than anything on this earth. 6 Months 1 Week and 1 Day later I lost my Dad, also a good man. He was a Vietnam Veteran and Retired after 20 years of active service. He had been exposed to Agent Orange and it set up a multitude of health issuse throughout his life. He always loved the Army and America and never spoke a bad word about the service nor the war he fought. The song means 2 things to me. It says that my Dad does not have to fight so hard anymore, that he can be at peace to go home to his Creator. That I will be ok. It also suggest that after a year of being torrn apart from the inside. I can let go of my Son. Something I don't think I am ready to do.
God bless you my friend, there are no words for the sadness I feel for you...Im so sorry.......You will all meet one day!
You made me cry.
I’m so sorry for your losses :)
Crying so hard I can barely see my keypad. This song hit home so much. I miss my dad and wish so hard he was still here :(
One of the bravest things anyone could say, especially in relation to the last verse.
Alyssa Weicht it was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to say...💔
I had this played last year at my beloved dad's funeral
Hello Mandy... how are you doing?
4 months now since my father left...It was time to let go...Your little girl will be alright:-)
Abi Wamunyu this brought tears to my eyes I am so sorry
Thanks for your message Tiffany:-) Yes...letting go is part of this life...
I wish it wasn't
Abi Wamunyu but...it will still be hard at times
Abi Wamunyu Lost mine about 5 months ago.Telling him to let go was the hardest thing I ever had to say....I had to pluck up the courage for a while before i could actually say it.Not without breaking down...
Love you dad miss u so so much 😓😓😓xx
Hello Willie... how are you doing?
Telling my daddy its ok to let go was the hardest thing I've ever had to do... I was 21 when my daddy left me it has been almost 8yrs since that day and its still fresh in my mind. This song hits home truly for me.
Was there holding his hand in hospital when my daddy passed away all in his Bithday month May 2017. Very difficult month for me.
Such a beautiful song ! Very proud of you caring for people and especially personal family times when you are standing between life and death...humbling..sensitive..love conquers all !!! Thank you Crystal ! God bless !!
I miss my dad so much.... 3 years yesterday....
I and my family was with my father and mother when they died several years apart , I couldn't say "you can go now daddy". God took them both at His timming . Now they are with Him and are watching over all their children.
I used this song for mine and my dad’s first dance at my wedding. It is absolutely beautiful. He was holding back his tears. Then I listened to this song and played it for him while he was in the hospital full of cancer. I lost my dad on March 9, 2019. I will forever say this is my favourite song ever ❤
The last verse of this song holds so true for me right now. My father is laying in the hospital with Lung cancer just wasting away to nothing and when I hear the last verse of this song... I just break down and start crying. I love him and it hurts so much... but I will be happy when he is finally at peace, he's suffered so much over these last few months...
I'm so sorry to hear that. My dad passed away almost 4 years ago from terminal lung/bladder/bone cancer.

It was just a few days after I posted this message here that my father passed away. I miss him so much but I know he's in a better place and at least he's not suffering anymore.
My dad died 4 days ago on my birthday, and I sang this song in his ear as he was passing.. I've never ever felt such pain
Best strongest man I've ever known
This song was released months before I lost my dad, my rock to cancer. 11 years later and I still cannot get through this song without completely breaking down.
today is my father's birthday.."you can let go now papa" this is what we said to him while he was in the intensive care unit...he died peacefully while on dialysis. We missed you papa. We love you
i think this song hits those of us who have already lost a father the hardest. don't ever take your fathers for granted, cherish them and tell them that you love them while you still can..
My dad died 11yrs ago and I still remember his laugh and miss him so much each day
My beloved dad held on as I drove over 200 miles to be at his bedside. My eldest son and i held his hands as he passed away. A big part of my heart went with him and I will miss him always x
I lost my daddy almost 7 years ago. He held on long enough after suffering for years to see me get married and have a family of my own. Just the next year I lost my husband in a horrible accident & now I have a daughter who now understands this song much to well for her age. Hold those you love and NEVER leave them without a hug and kiss. You never know when that lost moment you'll have together will be.
This song tears me up, and I try to avoid it...but something brings me back time and time again to this video. Dad passed on October 8, 2006, in my arms, with Mom, my sister, and my brothers at the bedside, in the same room where their wedding pictures were taken. Dad got through Omaha Beach but not through cancer. So, for my Dad and all the Dads of everyone who reads this...rest in peace, until we meet again.
Such a powerful song. It brings tears to my eyes and her voice is beautiful
just found this song.
I'm in tears
lost my dad 2 yrs past on Feb 13th. the same day as my husbands birthday so I was emotional that day. as it was sudden. miss him so much.
this is a great song and great voice. xxxx
This song hits close to home for me cause I did have to watch my dad lay in a hospital bed and lose all his strength to the point he couldn't feed himself. He had multiple myeloma, which is a type of cancer that attacks everything. I will never get to have him walk me down the aisle or have a father daughter dance. Its been 8 1/2 years since he has passed away but I still have days where I wish I could call him and just hear his voice or have him meet his granddaughter. I know he watches over us everyday but I still miss him like crazy.
I have been there!
Love your daddy for all its worth before its too late! My daddy was taken from me four years ago at 54. The last verse of this song is so true! He was the strongest man I ever knew and it was so hard to see him waste away in the hospital like he did. Cancer is a mean disease if its not caught in time! RIP DADDY!!
they played this at my grandfather's funeral and i cried my eyes out. it's been 4 years now but i know he is in a better place. R.I.P. grandpa i love you.
L remember my dad was in coma when died l told him you can let dad all be ok and all take care mom this august 16 2021 every time remind me of that day l will never forgive he was the best dad every
Hello Diane... how are you doing?
love you daddy, second Christmas without you, 58 years young. The lord above had bigger plans for you. Your little spot wasn't ready but one day at a time I feel I am.
everytime i hear this i cry. makes me think of my father!! i wish he was still here with me but i know he is in a better place and watching over me! i love you dad. you may not be here but you will always be my daddy..
I was so sure this was Amanda Wilkinson when I heard this on the radio... Shocked to learn that it's not. It's a really deep song. Somebody I know is losing a loved one to cancer and I thought of this song for them today.
I lost my dad on Friday June 22 from cancer we only found out he had cancer 4 weeks before.... this song makes me bawl everytime I listen to it...we will be will be playing it at his funeral on Friday
I remember when I first heard this story in my parents bedroom in 2010. My dad had shown it to me and I cried. I have now witnessed crystal play twice and met her the second time. As soon as she made eye contact with me I started to cry just like I was watching/listening to this video for the first time. I admire crystal so much.
dad used to tease me everytime i sang this song as a little girl, but i knew that he was so proud that i was the only daughter of the 8 kids to be singing. when he passed, i felt that i had to sing this at the service. as a native, it wasnt allowed at our longhouse, but i know my dad, and his family. they made sure i sang this to him, and everyone
This is one of my newest favorite country song! Beautiful!
Forrest Day yeah it is nice
Breaks my heart. The most beautiful and meaningful song I'll ever hear. Thank you xxx

@@michaelsmith_32329_I am in the UK x
absolutely love this song, what an amazing singer she is.
My dad passed away (5 years ago last month) and I sometimes miss him so bad. Although I'm grateful for the time i spent with him, i still wish he would still be here sometimes.
forever blessed my dad is still right by my side sure we fight an even go into physical abuse but I know my dad cares an he's just teaching me right from wrong I love you dad. XX this is gonna me my father daughter dance
I never knew my father growing up, I didn't meet him till I was 13... My grandfather was who I called dad and 2 days ago I had to let him go.... He was 81 years old... As he was lying there holding my hand tightly for the last hour of his life all I could think of was this song and how I was NOT ready to tell him to go yet :( but he is no longer suffering, and the last thing he saw was me & my 2 beautiful children as he slipped away with his last breath....
My Dad passed away when i was eight years old and i never will forget him
R.I.P. Daddy see you soon
Hope your pain eases soon 🤍🙏🏼
I am 44 and my dad died when I was 20. Everything I am now I owe to my dad. I would not be a nurse and not have sympathy for all those fighting cancer and fighting for their life if it was not for my dad being in the hospital for 104 days and passing away there. I have a special place in my heart for all those that ever took care of him and once in awhile I see one and they still talk about him, tells you how special he was to others also. Thank you for such a great song with such a message!
SO EMOTIONAL.....My daddy passed away July 3rd, 1995......I MISS and LOVE you Daddy!!
rosamaryful2 my dad was on the 11 of August 2017
Dad just passed away this morning March 11, 2022. I don't want to let go dad but I know there's no more pain in the arms of our creator you've suffered too much. I miss you terribly pang. I want to hug you so tight. I love you forever papang. Martinez Gandam Watan. I'll try to go back home. But I don't like the thought of coming home from Japan to Philippines without seeing you waiting for us sitting outside the house. Papang it's so hard and difficult to accept.
I still cry when I hear this song.
I first heard this song on that Pass it On commercial about the father dying, and it made me cry. I'm 21, and my father died a year and a half ago, and I wasn't there to say good bye. This song makes me wish I could have told my dad that it was okay for him to let go.
She has such a beautiful voice and loved from the start wish I could sing like this cos the song is so amazing and a lot to Me
Iam a man, 23 years old. I cry every time I hear this song. I lost my dad January 4 of this year. He went into the hospital early christmas day. I guess this song just go to show you than a Real man crys when he losing someone important in his life.
I lost my daddy this year to and I cry every time cause I climbed on his chest and said u can let go now daddy but his with my mummy 😊
though written from a girls prospective a song i need to hear, just got off the phone moments ago to hear my dad says his goodbyes. a call that i didn't want to end, the miles apart kept me from being there but know that i care and you will always be in my heart,
Lost my dad to pancreatic cancer 8 years ago today. This song never fails to make me cry my heart out. He was my whole world. People don't appreciate their parents enough! I would do anything to have him back
My moms friend has been off life support for 11 hours now and i know she's holding on for her boys. Its so sad because i can't imagine the pain her boys are going through right now. Wake up Marti don't let go just yet
This song means more to me than anyone could ever know. I am just eighteen and six years ago two days before Christmas I had to tell my father over the phone that he had to let go of his life because he was only staying alive for me. I cried enough to bridge the gap between where I was in Kansas and his hospital bed here in Texas. I love this song because the message will always ring true. I love my father, present tense, not past. I always will love him.
I miss my dad :(
I lost my Daddy 3 days ago and I have chosen this as one of the songs for his services. He served our country in the US Navy, and in Law Enforcement for 26 years, but his passion in life was hunting, fishing, and the love for my sisters and I. He battled cancer for the past 2 years so he is no longer suffering, but ours has just begun. His legacy will live in us for eternity but we know he has "gone fishing" forever where the 'big one's' never get away.
This will be for my dad when he does pass away. I can't hold back the tears sometimes because my dad and I are so close so to envision him on his death bed one day will be very hard on me. I love you dad always.
Jimmy Davis It's one of the hardest things you'll ever see, I was there when I was only 6 years old looking at dad wondering why god decided to take him instead of someone else, it's been 11 years coming on 12 this november and I would give absolutely ANYTHING to see that guys face one last time....... cherish every moment you have with him man
We played this at my dad's funeral on 31st December 2019 I still miss him 💔💔💔💔
Hello Carrie... how are you doing?
This song makes me cherish my dad so much more. I wish we had a better relationship. I wish I could tell him I love him, but it's akward between us. I wish he was more emotional. Anyways I love him
Tomorrow will be 17 years since my father passed. I am now 21 and I still cant let him go. I know he is around me in spirit and I enjoy his presence. Normally im very emotional around this time of the year but this year I know he is giving me the strength to continue on. I love you very much daddy and i will ALWAYS be your little girl...rest in peace daddy
Today;January 25th 2017,is one year since my dad died..😔 Love you daddy ❤
makes me cry i lost my dad the year this song came out...he may have not been there for me much through life but he was still my dad and it hurts me terribly he couldnt see my son come into the world..but i see it as my little angel taking the place of another one thats no longer with us..i love them both
ok my mom and dad got devorsted and i only got to see my dad like when i 4 and now im 12 he has two sons and he loves them more than me and i was his first kid so when i hear this song i cry really hard i still love u daddy hope u come home soon
Sometimes things dont work out they way they should. it's not ur fault. I lost my two youngest to divorce and they moved to Texas. It broke my heart!!! I'm sure he loves you! Hes just tied up with hs new family. Be patient, he'll come around and remember he's human too and even Dad's make mistakes!!
Very touchy... feeling the same as a daddy, in my bed wondering if things would be okay when I go. Listening to this in loops.
Beautiful song, beautiful message, keep on singing!
im a daddys girl and every time ths song makes me cry. i love my daddy more than anything. and everytime i hear this song i always think about how its gonna kill me to lose my dad. he is my everything. i have a loving boyfriend but no one compares to my dad.
I'm 13 years old going to be 14 my dad pasted away May 14 7:45p.m. I saw him pass R.I.P daddy I love you with all my heart and from this day I still wish you here.... miss you and love you lots and I'll see you some day again
One month now my heart is so broken 💔 missing my dad so much
Reading the comments was not a good idea. Nope.
Not.At.All.
Same I am Iike crying so much rn ☹️
I shall go no further...
As I am losing my Daddy, right now, this is more precious and meaningful than anything I have ever heard. Ever. I will miss my Daddy more than I could ever express in words. My heart knows though.
my mom commented on this video!
THis SoNG giVeS ME GoOSebuMps¿?¡!¿
My dad died today. I sat beside him, stroked his hair and said, “It’s ok Dad, we will be ok, you can go.” And he did.
A friend of mine told me that I needed to hear this song.
I did. Thanks.
Goodbye Daddy. 15/06/2020.
I hope your pain eases soon 🤍 sending love and prayers 🙏🏼
Love this song - my dad died of ALS. What a terrible disease. My dad hung on until my sister had her baby - the day after he passed away.
I just heard this for the first time, my 15 yr old daughter told me to listen to it...I have tears in my eyes, what a powerful song...I could actually see my little girl with her daddy ( my ex hubby) I have never wanted to hug my little girl so much as I do right now...
my father passed away in december. I loved him so much and played this song at his memorial and I remember holding his hand as he was dying, telling him it was ok.....I would be ok....but I lied...I miss you Daddy
This song reminds me of my daddy i lost him on Feb.15th 2010 its almost been a year and the pain still hasn't eased i don't think it ever will i love you daddy and miss you until we see each other again may you fly on the wings of angels :(
its been 7 years today I miss you so much.....its not getting any easier but thank you for watching out for me and guiding me through my darkest time.....i love you daddy!
I haven't lost him yet but since my mom has been back and forth to Afghanistan since I was 18 (23 now) I can't imagine the world with out. But this ones for my cousins husband passed away this year! RIP David we'll see you around.
I used to be really close to my Dad, but over the years we drifted apart. To the point where its awkward being in a room alone with him. He's pretty much a chain smoker, & cancer runs rapid in our family, & it scares me that one day I'll lose him to it. I never really tried to reconnect with him, but after hearing this, & reading these stories, it makes me want to change that.
I'm deeply sorry to everyone who has lost their Fathers, or in some cases Mothers. Thank you for the push I needed.
This song reminds me more of my pepaw than my dad. He hung on until he was sure that it was ok for him to go home. He will forever be in my heart. 11-19-10
I still have my dad, but I still cry my eyes out when I hear this song. I'm such a Daddy's girl and I can't even think about loosing him.
this makes me think of my grandpa and my dad. my dad said good bye to my grandpa and was clearly not ready. no one was. god i miss him. so much.
It has been 13 years today that my dad passed away..I was 8 years old then & I am now 21...I miss him very much & it kills me to see other girls or kids w/ their dads, but I know mine will always be w/ me in spirit..RIP 9/15/47-5/4/99
My father died when i was only 13 years old and this makes me sad to remember what i could have had but grateful for a future.
One time I actually thought about when my dad would leave me. Just the thought brought tears to my eyes and I had to remind myself that he was still here. I'm sure it'll kill me when he does need to go to the Lord, but right now I'm enjoying the time I have with him.
I love this song due to just losing my father /Hero June 21, 2013. He was battling the big C and sadly lost the battle. We miss him a lot. The part at the end of the song were it said the strong east man I know faded away to nothing etc... Well I really had said that. My dad was so strong never seen him cry until his last breath than a tear went down his face. That almost killed me. That is the hardest thing to watch, a close love one pass a way in your arms. I wish he was still here badly..
This song was released the summer before my beloved grandfather passed away and was reunited in heaven with the love of his life, my grandmother. He died just before midnight on February 2nd, 2009, about 21 months after my grandma. I almost wanted to put this song on the photo montage video for the wake, but it would've probably made everybody cry hysterically, more than we already were. He was a wonderful father of 6 and a grandfather of 6. I was his first grandson and feel kind of special. He taught us so much. I loved fishing with him and listening to the old crooners like Sinatra on the radio in his car. Life just isn't the same without my grandparents. It was a lot harder on my younger cousin because he didn't really have a good father figure in his life. My aunt re-married and he has a step-dad, and he did/still does occasionally see his biological father on holidays and birthdays, but our grandpa seemed to be the better father figure and practically raised the kid.
This song reminded me of my grandfather. i started to cry because i know as i get older so does he and i don't know how much longer i have left with him. This songs so beutiful and can touch anyone, even if they have lost no one or it wasn't a father.
I am dedicating this song to both of the men in my life. John, my dad, and Robert, my step-dad. Both still live, but I feel this song is the perfect for them both. I love you both with all of my heart. And your little girl is ready to do this on her own... But I will call if I need anything and just to let you know I am okay.
