This isnt just john the leader of the band singing....this is a father who has watched his daughter grow into a beautiful and strong woman. Absolutely beautiful.
Lyrics: Me and mom were working at the speed of light Trying to be parents, trying to live right Guess we made it And I wouldn't change a thing Everybody said you got your daddy's eyes You were my princess, you were my pride Now you're grown up Can't believe how things have changed Now look at you standing in your white dress Where'd the time go? Not prepared for this It's rushing back to me like a flash flood But I remember all the nights Leave the dishes out and we'd put you to bed Say no to one more story that I wish I'd of read I didn't know then it'd come to an end And I want it back now We started out with dreams and love and nothing more We ate from paper bags and we slept on the floor Sometimes we weren't sure 'bout this adventure But you made us so proud I blinked, it went faster than a freight train Happy wedding day Being on the road like a circus act The highlight of the night was to hear you laugh Guess we made it, but it's a little quiet now Planes, trains, buses they were all you knew Companions, best friends, survivors too We had some hard times But they never kept us down Now look at you standing in your white dress Where the time go? Not prepared for this It's rushing back to me like a flash flood And I remember all the nights Leave the dishes out and we'd put you to bed Say no to one more story that I wish I'd of read I didn't know then it'd come to an end And I want it back now We started out with dreams and love and nothing more We ate from paper bags and we slept on the floor Sometimes we weren't sure 'bout this adventure But you made us so proud I blinked, it went faster than a freight train Happy wedding day Happy wedding day Yeah, I remember all the nights Leave the dishes out and we'd put you to bed Say no to one more story that I wish I'd of read I didn't know then it'd come to an end It's rushing back now We started out with dreams and love and nothing more We ate from paper bags and we slept on the floor Sometimes we weren't sure 'bout this adventure But you made us so proud I blinked, it went faster than a freight train Happy wedding day Faster than a freight train Happy wedding day Look at you standing in your white dress
Thanks Skillet. John, you pointed to me on Halloween jamming out exactly a year ago at the concert. I was not in a crowd, I had best seats in the house and nobody was near me or my GF. I will play this at my wedding. And nobody will know where or who tf this came from, but they're going to love it. Thank you. Congrats Alex!
We had "Lucy", a song they did for a child never born because of choices they made and regreted, now we have this song, imagine how emotional John was writing this for his daughter, the cicle is completed, and God bless you Skillet
I started listening to Skillet when I was a young believer. It was back in the Comatose days. I was a teenager. I also remember at the Comatose Tour when John mentioned his kids and his little girl. The crazy part now is in older, a youth pastor, married, and my wife and me have little girl who turned 1 this week. Needless to say this song hits different. Love it
That's what I wanted for so long, just hear John singing something about his sweetheart with acoustic guitar. It's just melting my heart. It's very simple, but it's what my heart wanted to chill and calm. Don't need anything complex and super duper. Just be yourself and bold, and clean. It's perfect itself
After hearing this song, I immediately sent the entire album to my mom and dad. I have a feeling they are going to cry as much as I am when they hear this song. ❤ Thank you for sharing this beautiful song that you made for your amazing daughter with the rest of your community.
I'm not even a father yet but this song just pulled in my heartstrings and got me all teary eyed. You can just hear the love for his daughter in this song and it's beautiful. I really hope that's a love and pride I get to feel one day
The most emotional, beautiful, soulful song I’ve ever heard by Skillet. I’m only 23, I’m not even sure if I’ll ever find someone to have kids with, but this does make me tear up. Heard it for the first time this morning, got me choked up in the car
This might be one of my favorite songs on the album 🥹 except my daughter's are at the read one more story stage now, I think it's time to read that one more
Alex your surrounded by love and spirit from family and friends. Your parents are inspirations that keep moving forward and I believe in you to do the same. God bless you all and congratulations 🎉
I want this played at my wedding. I've been engaged 4 years now (we're still planning) and most of the songs I've chosen for the reception is your music :) This is just going to casually slide into the playlist
My baby is due with her 4th and last baby any day. She is my only girl, born on my birthday. Her wedding was 3 months after the love of my life, her step father's, death. I don't remember much, but your song brought back very happy memories. Love your music!
Sweet how they made this for Alex, John and Korey’s daughter
Awwwww 😭😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah 🥲
yep, this is awesome :)
she's getting married?
@@curtiss129 yep 🥲
This isnt just john the leader of the band singing....this is a father who has watched his daughter grow into a beautiful and strong woman. Absolutely beautiful.
I’m not crying, you are😭
Lyrics:
Me and mom were working at the speed of light
Trying to be parents, trying to live right
Guess we made it
And I wouldn't change a thing
Everybody said you got your daddy's eyes
You were my princess, you were my pride
Now you're grown up
Can't believe how things have changed
Now look at you standing in your white dress
Where'd the time go? Not prepared for this
It's rushing back to me like a flash flood
But I remember all the nights
Leave the dishes out and we'd put you to bed
Say no to one more story that I wish I'd of read
I didn't know then it'd come to an end
And I want it back now
We started out with dreams and love and nothing more
We ate from paper bags and we slept on the floor
Sometimes we weren't sure 'bout this adventure
But you made us so proud
I blinked, it went faster than a freight train
Happy wedding day
Being on the road like a circus act
The highlight of the night was to hear you laugh
Guess we made it, but it's a little quiet now
Planes, trains, buses they were all you knew
Companions, best friends, survivors too
We had some hard times
But they never kept us down
Now look at you standing in your white dress
Where the time go? Not prepared for this
It's rushing back to me like a flash flood
And I remember all the nights
Leave the dishes out and we'd put you to bed
Say no to one more story that I wish I'd of read

And I want it back now
We started out with dreams and love and nothing more
We ate from paper bags and we slept on the floor
Sometimes we weren't sure 'bout this adventure
But you made us so proud
I blinked, it went faster than a freight train
Happy wedding day
Happy wedding day
Yeah, I remember all the nights
Leave the dishes out and we'd put you to bed
Say no to one more story that I wish I'd of read
I didn't know then it'd come to an end
It's rushing back now
We started out with dreams and love and nothing more
We ate from paper bags and we slept on the floor
Sometimes we weren't sure 'bout this adventure
But you made us so proud
I blinked, it went faster than a freight train
Happy wedding day
Faster than a freight train
Happy wedding day
Look at you standing in your white dress

Such a great tribute to their daughter Alex who got married

My husband and I decided that we want this song played at our daughter’s wedding.
We had "Lucy", a song they did for a child never born because of choices they made and regreted, now we have this song, imagine how emotional John was writing this for his daughter, the cicle is completed, and God bless you Skillet
They wrote it for a friend of theirs. They did not have an abortion
@@austinfreeland1349 Exactly
@@austinfreeland1349 it wasn’t even for a friend. It was a completely made up story.
@@marymigala9090 it was for a fan

Im not gonna lie... This made me cry.. so happy for John's daughter
Such a beautiful song. Worth the price of the album just for this song. All the rest are bonus songs.

this song is so sweet and beautiful, i'm crying tears of joy, this new album is amazing
So sweet. I love this band. This song made me cry of how sweet it was.
This one made me cry like a baby!!! 😭♥️
Beautiful Song, John definitely sang this with tears in his eyes
When I was little, my dad always called me his princess. I should show this to him. ❤
My wife and I love this song 🎶. Thanks Skillet God bless you all.
That's really sweet
Skillet forever❤
You can hear the emotion in his voice. You're an amazing dad. Never stop John.
I feel like I’m about to cry 😭 this is so beautiful
Alex is really a princess to us❤
After hearing this song, I immediately sent the entire album to my mom and dad. I have a feeling they are going to cry as much as I am when they hear this song. ❤
Thank you for sharing this beautiful song that you made for your amazing daughter with the rest of your community.

“The highlight of the night was to hear you laugh”
Such a perfect father..
Such a heartfelt tribute. Congratulations Alex!
beautiful
Beautiful!🥺 I miss Korey singing too. Hope she comes back singing someday❤
It would’ve made it more emotional if she sang too since it’s about their daughter
I’m not saying it isn’t emotional already but it would’ve been cool
@@kalevthewalrus44 Yes! I also mean in general. I love the songs that Korey sings the chorus with John. She has a beautiful voice😊
Strong "Awake" vibes! Definitely a wonderful and emotional Skillet power ballad! 🎶🎵🎧
This is just absolutely beautiful im so happy for you all and congratulations alex and her groom this family just gets better and better
You are great and keep it up also my favourite rock band of all time
This is adorable John cooper singing for his daughter wedding day 🩷🩷🩷
The most emotional, beautiful, soulful song I’ve ever heard by Skillet. I’m only 23, I’m not even sure if I’ll ever find someone to have kids with, but this does make me tear up. Heard it for the first time this morning, got me choked up in the car
An insanely beautiful song! It can be seen that it was made with love❤

The town that I live in there is this hotel where the frontdesk manager looks exactly like John Cooper.
This album is soooo personal, wow

This song made me cry. I never cry. I love skillet I have been fans since the first album.
