I was listening to this song whilst spending the first night in the hospital when my daughter was born. I experienced a different kind of love for the first time. 2 ½ years later i was listening to it again at the same hospital when her sister was born. She never made it, and i got to experience a different kind of pain for the first time. Been 8 months now, and its like it was yesterday i held her in my arms. A very strong song! Nobody does it like Aaron!
I read this and this is like reading my life but further times apart I heart goes out to you brother. I also lissened to this when my daughter was fighting a hard illness spending months in hospital and played it to her even night for the first few years to get her to sleep - I also know the pain of loss keep going brother
TheMidnight2009 Thank you! Hope your daughter is doing better. It is Hard When you cant do more for them. All we can do is be there and show them that we love them. Thanks again for The kind words! Take Care!
Shout out to my daughter Zoey Jane 2-7-15 love you baby girl. thank you aaron lewis for giving me strength to push thru my depression for years. You're appreciated.
These acoustic songs Aaron preforms are so beautiful and honest.. I got very choked up listening to this as it really hits home for me and the way I feel about my children. I am not away from them for long periods of time but the part about "show you what this life has in store for you" and "protect you from all of the things I've already endured". That is one my main goals, to protect my children and try my damn hardest to not let them go through what I have.
For quite a few years now my dad has had to do quite a bit of traveling for work, and he'd be gone for at least a week at a time, and I heard this song one of the times when he was gone, so when he came home I snuck this song on his iPod and he came out of the computer room one day after he heard it for the first time and it's the first and only time I've ever seen my daddy cry. This song perfectly describes my dad and I. I love my daddy so much. I don't care how old I am he will always be daddy
Aaron Lewis, I have no children nor do I live the life you do.. But your songs have helped me in more ways than one can explain. When I do have children, this song will be the song I'll dedicate to my daughter. I want to see you live at least once, love your music Aaron!
Great video. Best I've seen for this song. Lost my 1st daughter at birth, almost 7 years ago. Although this song isn't about that, lyrics are really moving to me, we named her Zoe. Thanks for sharing, great song.
I haven't seen my daughter in 7yrs and this somg kills me every time I hear it. But can't help listening to it. Thanks aaron for reminding me I still have a heart after it being broken
I just recently started my 2nd year at college and I'm 7 hours away from my parents and 9 hours from the boy I love and plan on marrying one day, each day is harder for me, but this song still brings me comfort and reminds me that I'll always be my daddy's little girl and that both my parents are extremely proud of me.
Oh this song does make me sad of the relationship I never had with my Daddy. I always tried but Daddy was always too busy with work, the golfcorse, traveling, or other women and other families. I was his only natural born child, but I had lots of step brothers and sisters. My momma was his first love, first wife, but he had lots of lovers all over and went on to have more wives. I loved my Daddy so much and all my life I searched for his approval. He’s gone now and he only lived to be 67. I’m 46 and I never found it, but boy did I want it. I wanted a Daddy who was fiercely protective of his little girl, a Daddy who was patient and a Daddy who was kind. But, it the end we get what we get and we go on believing and telling ourselves we had the best and that they did the best they could and that’s why we all are such good liars, because most of us spend a lifetime lying to ourselves, for ourselves...
I can relate...got a beautiful daughter now and I can't be with her through long underways. I miss her so much! she is the most important part of my life now...love that girl. Miss her! Love you Mele'ana!
This song reminds me of my son. He was placed in adoption before he was born and I was never able to meet him. I wish I had some sort of relationship with him, like his mother does. This song kills me...
Oh i know it's not, but its also not as possible for me to go home as often as I would love. I wish you luck in your studies as well, and I'm very jealous that you are in New Zealand, I have always wanted to visit there. Those 60 days will go by fast as well :)
angela its not about his daughter one of his hardcore fans sent him a message and said he just had a first born child and he wanted aaron to do a dedication for her so when his daughter is old enough and can understand he is gonna show her this song to show how much he loves/cares for his daughter and his daughters name is zoey(zoe) jane so that is the full
Myeah it is hard to be away from the people you love. I realise this isn't some d*cklength contest, but I'll be the first one to say that If I was a mere 7 hours away from my family and friends / 9 hours away from my partner, I would go there as much as humanly possible outisde of course. As a Swede studying down in New Zealand, It's a bit harder to go and visit them. Only 60 days left though! GL at college.
I know, i hadn't been long time with spending this three houses on fire emblem we know each other sometimes, but i waited is so long about Mercedes and, Edelģard, Petra, Bernadetta probably will meet us somedays.
I can hear the mute as well, but there is no barred chords oin this song, this whole song is picked using chord patterns that only take three fingers and each finger only pushes down one string, what happens is either his ring finger or middle finger is touching one of the strings that should be played with an open note.
Let me know what you think about this video in the comments 🤘🏻

One of the greatest records ever. Simple, intimate, nostalgic, full of love. Masterpiece.

They say that metal bands have no emotion or love.... they should all learn from Aaron Lewis, one of the Gods of Metal !!!
WHAT A TREAT THIS AUDIENCE RECEIVED THAT DAY!!!
+Mosh Jelton lucky enough to be there
.. and your comment just made my eyes water seeing as I've been away from family and friends for the better part of this year.
This song is nothing short of incredible

Great sound quality!!! Thx...
Lead singer Aaron Lewis wrote this for his daughter Zoe Jane. She was born on April 5, 2002. He said this on stage.
Oh this song does make me sad of the relationship I never had with my Daddy. I always tried but Daddy was always too busy with work, the golfcorse, traveling, or other women and other families.

I named one of my daughters after this song.
Really ? What is she called ?......just kidding
"Sweet Wesley Waa-lker"
Haha!! Good one! Thanks guys
The only true song about love.
aaron lewis is the most outstanding vocalist in the world!! js
love this mans voice & love this song. when i found out that me & my girlfriend was having a girl i didnt have to think hard about what to name her.
Love this song !
Oh i know it's not, but its also not as possible for me to go home as often as I would love. I wish you luck in your studies as well, and I'm very jealous that you are in New Zealand, I have always wanted to visit there. Those 60 days will go by fast as well :)
Great videos

Seems that Aaron sings these with more care and soul than the actual band members. Looking forward to seeing him at the Hard Rock on the Gulf Coast!

his song kills me as I go through a very long custody battle over my daughter Chloe.
such a lucky daughter 3
@redei87 no problems!

if u look thru all of garys vids aaron says'his finger tips were about to fall off lol'
For my Zoey Juliet ...
maybe its cause my camera was playing up at times with the zoom
Aaron's daughter is named zoe Jane . It's on the back of his neck tattooed . I'm 100% sure he wrote this song for her

Gary your a man
CoreOrganix ah thanks!!
