At 56 my life changed when a little girl was born to my son and his girlfriend. Neither of the two parents were responsible then, nor now, and capable of taking care of her. She just turned 7, and this past March the adoption was completed, and she is ours. Yes, my retirement plans have changed, my entire life has changed, and just now my little girl came and asked for help only moments ago - while I was writing this tribute to her. Yes, she changed my life and every day I struggle to do my best to give her the childhood she deserves; my little gift from God.

That was so out of character for him, it made me smile. Unfortunately, his son passed away a hero, 13 years later, fighting a fire.

I had my daughter at a young age and never once did I think “there goes my life” My thoughts were “here comes my life” here comes my future, my everything! ❤️ She is 20 now and a full time college student. She gave my life meaning and more love than I ever could have imagined!

This has me balling right now brotha. I remember when this song came out. I was 21 and had just been kicked out of Virginia Military Institute my senior year. I’m from Richmond, VA and some friends of mine had decided we were going to move to Orlando or San Diego. Next thing I know, my daughters mother is pregnant. My life had done a total 180. All my hopes and aspirations for life were gone in a span of 6 months. This song tugged at my heart 18 years ago. Wound up raising my daughter on my own for the most part. Those days of her dragging that teddy bear flew by way too fast. She is now 18 and went to visit Denver two months ago. She’ll be back soon to pack the rest of her stuff to go “Hang out on the west coast. “ This song has come full circle for me and I’ve lived every verse. Thank you Mr. Mobley for writing such a bittersweet heartfelt song. It has meant more than you will ever know to me. God bless! And he cried "There goes my life There goes my future, my everything I love you, Baby, goodbye" I love you Isabella!!

Kenny is the man for giving the song writer the exposure he deserves.

My daughter is 3. I cry everytime I sing this to her...

The energy on that stage is amazing. They’re not playing like the powerhouses they are, they’re just having a good time like a bunch of normal guys. I wish I could’ve been that audience

This is the song I danced with my mom at her wedding (I was 7)and I just lost her at 22 years old and I listen to relive that dance with her.

I'm crying. I sent that to my Son who has a daughter that he probably loves more than me!

I can relate to this song. My wife and I had my daughter I was 22 when we had her. My wife died of diabetes at age 27. My daughter was 6 years old . Now she’s 16. She’s my link to both the past and future.

This song reminds me of both of my oldest sons. They both found out 2 mths before they turned 19 that they were going to be daddy's. They both stepped up and have done a fantastic job so far. My oldest has three girls now at 24 yrs old. My middle son still has just the one daughter qnd he is 21 now. Each of my precious granddaughters have the best daddy's they could have ever asked for!!!

After i walked her down the Aisle earlier this that day in Key West Florida fast foward a few years and now I am a Grandfather to a 15 month old Granddaughter who is almost a exact copy of her Mother at that age and is Wonderful to watch growing up

I wanted to be a Dad so bad my whole life & would tear up during this song just at the THOUGHT of being able to love a little girl so much. FINALLY, at age 56 in March of '23, my wife & I adopted a sibling set of 2 boys & 1 girl. I obviously love them all, but my daughter & I have an incredible bond, and I love her more than I thought possible. NOW this song takes on a new meaning to me and will no doubt have me weeping uncontrollably the day she leaves the house.

I remember dropping off my daughter at college. Her & I had been through a lot since her Mom/my wife had passed away midway through her senior year in high school. Yes, my daughter’s Honda was loaded down with tons of clothes, shoes & my American Express. After she was completely settled in, I gave her a big hug, told her how much her mother & I loved her & I walked down to my truck where I cried. This song always hits home with me.

The truth is singers would be nothing without the incredible songs of the great songwriters. I can't tell you how many songs have been sung that are forgetful as soon as the song is over no matter how incredibly well sung as opposed to just an average singer singing an incredible song that sticks with you the rest of the day and you're humming it everywhere you go. Then of course those rare times where incredible singers get paired up with incredible songs....which is what turns singers into superstars.

Wendell Mobley does this song justice. He does it with true heart and emotion Kenny Chesney just makes it mainstream.

Please always let your youngins know you love them by saying you love them and showing a little compassion. My last words to my son was "I love ya and I'll see ya when I see ya". I could go into the whole thing which wasn't bad. Point being is tell all your loved ones you love them and talk with them. try to gain some wisdom from the older folks.

One of the greatest songs ever written!

While Wendell is an AMAZING artist and songwriter. I think the reason Kenny is the man for the song is that he can deliver songs like this to the world. Kenny has the ability and the platform to sing/play just about any country/rock song. They are both such talented musicians.

First time I ever went to nashville , I met Wendell in a bar after an awards show. I remember that I didn't fit in with the crowd as I was wearing tattered jeans and button down shirt that was untucked. Everyone else was dressed to the nines in finding Wendell. However I struck up a conversation with him and he bought me a beer. I noticed he had an award ,but didn't ask what it was for, only later did I find out that he had written this song and had won the award for writing it. Still one of the best songs Kenny ever recorded.

Bawling! I've heard this song 1000 times and it still hits my heart strings. Great job and thank you!

I’m a HUGE Kenny Chesney fan but this other man (the song writer) outsings Kenny in a heartbeat. How did he not record it himself?!!! Awesome vocals and a beautiful song.

Because getting a record deal is like hitting the lottery. There is no rhyme or reason to who the companies decide to back. It makes no sense.

I'm more than a day late and a buck short, but Mister Wendell Mobley is one hell of a singer and songwriter.

What a masterpiece of a song 🎵 I had my son very young and I can relate to 🎶 to this song totally 👍 but I wouldn’t change a thing 😊the decision I made I would never change 😊 and I am happy 😊 I did 😊 this song is very special to me 💙💙💕💕🤗🤗

24 and expecting my own little one with my sweet love at the beginning of 2022. I see all the amazing comments about living through every verse of this song and one day I want to come back to this comment to also say that I’ve lived through every verse also. I’m going to take every day in and cherish every moment cause I know after I blink, they will be hanging out on the west coast. 🖤

Dude...damn. Pleasure to hear the man who wrote the song. God bless you.

Two voices and two guitars. Sometimes simple is best!

I was 30 when my daughter was born changed everything in mine and my wife's life for the good

Definitely in my "wish I'd written it" category. Amazing!

Wendell Mobley singing, now that's a record I'd like to buy. What a voice!

That song is timeless! Thanks for sharing your gift Wendell

I had my daughter 2 weeks before my 18th birthday. And she made my life.

Spot on.

Unbelievable writing! This is up there with songs like You're gonna miss this, & God gave me you! I watch this like every night lol

Hearing Wendell’s voice live just melts your heart. It’s that powerful.

If you’re a parent, this hits hard. I have two boys but the story is the same. I cried like a baby when they were born and get teared up thinking how lucky I am to be their daddy.

A little more than 17 years ago, not a young man but hoping and dreaming i would one day be a father this song came out. I was scared but excited. Next weekend we take our OUR son out to the University of Chicago to start his freshman year. Brilliant and beautiful he is. The hardest and best job i ever had - being a father. What a blessing so late in life. This song nails it....

Thanks 😊 so much for the love and support ❤️‍🩹 …Are you one of my great fans out there?

As a single mum who had my daughter at 18 I can relate. Its exactly how I felt & it reminds me of the day 17 years later when she packed up the car and moved to the city to follow her dreams. She has been away from home for 10 years now but this song still brings a tear to my eye. This version is the best i have heard!

Found this by chance ,thanks for sharing such a great song.

Was devestated when the CMA Songwriter Series channel took this off KZread.. am SO GLAD it’s back on!!! Absolute best acoustic version to any song EVER

This reminds me of that day my only son told me his girlfriend was pregnant I remember coming home from work and was getting things from the passenger seat and my son said he had something to tell me but my gut told me and the look in his eyes told me I seen the quiver in his lips I said it will all be alright. .. and it has been. .. I now have that beatiful 6 year old grand daughter I love so much !

I can definitely relate to this!

Most songwriters don't want the fame and stardom. They just want to write what their heart is telling them and give that amazing piece of poetry to someone who understands and respects it. Kenney, clearly a perfect candidate. I can name dozens of amazing writers who never wanted that fame. Those are the real music heroes. The writers.

This song is one of my favorites by Kenny Chesney who does an outstanding job with it. But when I heard Wendell's version sung together with Kenny, WOW! I like their duet even better. It's fantastic!
