I had to raise my two daughters on my own. Their mom did 17 years in prison then got deported. I had no idea what I was doing so I raised them treating them like boys. Tossing hay bales. Riding horses, herding cows. I raised them with a lot of love. Life wasn't easy, but we had each other. I did okay as a father. The both got softball scholarships to Division 1 schools. My oldest went to Texas A&M. My youngest play at Kansas State. Both of them are RNs. They are also great wives and moms. They are still my little girls though.

my daughter is/was my life although shes grown now and dont have much time to crawl under the table or play in the snow im still stuck right there.. i was a mere 16 when she changed my life for the absolute best.. so we definitely grew up together.. just want to say to all future dads and current dads of teenage daughters.. they will pull away from you at 16-18 is the worst but they'll come back 😉 they always come back lol just take my advice and pay a little extra attention when she starts to push you away dad.. that is precisely when she needs you the most.. love and be well..

My 2 daughters are my life and damn they grow up so fast. Take the time to take in the lil stuff. The tee ball games the softball games daughters dance recitals take it all in cause they grow up so fast. My oldest 17 already will be off to collage next year my youngest is already a sophomore. God damn where did the time go. And my last 5 years been a living hell for me. I blew out my back at work so now I've missed some things with my kids I wish I could have back. I just hope in their eyes they know I've tried and did my best to give them a good life. I doubt myself all the time but damn I hope they know that. I will always be their father but know real soon some young man is gonna sweep them off their feet and they'll be out on their own. I wish I could go back when they were 5 and 6 years old looking to me to show them the way. Christine and Alexis if for some reason you come across this know I love you both with my heart and will always be their for u at the drop of a dime no matter how old you are or how far away u move away I'll be their. Love you girls with all my heart! I know u know that. Love daddy....

Literally God Bless Zac and his Family.I was always and will always will be a Grateful Dead fan,but ever since Jerry died I've been lost but now I'm found.Thank you Mr.Zac Brown 4 everything!.

ME TOO!!!! Wow...

As a Dad of a fantastic son and daughter I can tell you it is true that the bond between a Dad and a daughter is something special. I found that while there is no book telling you that is worth its salt how to raise a daughter and then a son it is with love that you start with. You know you have their love and trust when you are asked to walk them down the aisle when they get married. Then the Dad and Daughter dance at the reception. These are memories no one can take away from you.

WOW, I knew nothing of this band, I'm a 'old head' to most who know me, 60, and was fairly locked into my late 60's-70's music, not entirely at all, but had not been seeking new bands-new genre's, and see now lately that I've certainly been missing a lot of XTREMELY sweet soulful music. My daily diet of the Allman Brothers, The Dead, Govt.Mule, Hot Tuna, Little Feat, BB King, Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton and other legends may have to ~move over-just a little to allow me the time to at least experience more-grow more, , , , and more. Thanks for the sweet upload, I appreciate it, and thoroughly enjoyed it,

J.M. ZIMMERMAN don't miss out on Chris Stapleton

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.... My daughter just turned 6 and this will always be one of my favorite songs. Heart overflowing...

My daughter got married June 10th, and chose this song for our dance. I barely made it through it then, and I still can't get through it now, without tears. It was a very special moment, made even more special by the song. Thank you

Never had a dad but i grew up with my grandpa being my dad figure. I miss him dearly each day and songs like this keep his memory alive in my soul. It also makes me realize what my actual dad has missed out on and i feel sorry for him not knowing the wonderful the woman ive become .. all because of my grandaddy.

as a girl who grew up with no dad but I did grow up with a grandpa who's taught me the true meaning of dad and love. He's taught me how to fend for myself and has protected me from everything. This song has pretty much described our realtionship. From the first day he saw me, I had him wrapped around my fingers. I'm lucky to have him

I absolutely love this song! Can not stop playing it. I got to see Zac Brown Band in concert last weekend in Denver at Coors field. They where amazing and I would definitely like to see them in concert again.

I Love this song it does tell a beautiful story it reminds me of my DAD and I my hero always DAD I miss you so much.!

Man, Zac Brown, you slimmed down a lot. I haven't listened to you in one year and I miss that. I'm not a fan of country...I'm more into rap, but I enjoy this band. Also, I'm from Georgia... Keep on keeping on. -James

I absolutely love your music no matter what mood im in you have something for me. keep it up guys, hope too see you in concert one day.

WHAT BEAUTIFUL LYRICS. WHAT AN INTENCE VIDEO..I CANNOT STOP WATCHING IT. THANK YOU ZAC BROWN BAND!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

wow as a father of two daughters this song really hits home.. Thank You

Doing what they do best, I love it, not enough of us appreciate a good jam band.

Never heard this before! Oh, how beautiful! Love this!

might just be my favorite song, not even on the album, but of all time

Thank You Zach , This reminds me of those Very Special Times with my Father !!! He was a Great Dad !!! He's with all those Beautiful Angels!!!!! Miss you Dad !!Lisa Maurine Hinrichs.😇😅😅

You guys are simply AWESOME!!!!

The perfect song for my daughter and I. Thanks Zac

Nice song. I have two daughters, 5 years old and 3weeks old. I always think about them whenever I listen to this song and how I will always be there for them

I really love this song. It makes me emotional.

am the huge fan of country songs....Am listen alot of ur music,my favourite is keep me in mind but this song is awesome....

Really GREAT video. Thanks for making that Zac!

Beautifully done. I'm gonna try to post this for my daddy for Father's day. Bless the real daddies out there. My kids were 10 and 5 when their daddy left us. I had to be both, and it ain't easy.

Wow!!! This video is without a doubt heart stopping. So powerful!

After the majestic choir chorus completes and the child's happiness turns to horror --- as so often happens in real life -- the story comes full circle back to the love of family. Relating to these circumstances and my own daughter who has recently left our protection translates into a fact: Zac Brown has become one of the premier American story tellers in this or any generation. My hat is off to Mr Brown ... and not just because my scalp tingles every time I hear this beautiful musical story.

Well said Sir

Best Zac Brown song hands down~

I love it. I don't have a kid yet ( still only 18 ) but I know it's how I I will feel. I like how he talks about if the light goes out the monsters will come, and when her heart was broken, her light went out and those guys showed up.

I wanna play this when I walk down the aisle.

made me cry,my dad was a top man,I miss him XXX made me feel like he is here,TOP tune !!! my dad was just like this XX. also makes me feel lonely without him xxx

Beautiful✨ I so... miss you Dad ❤️

this song reminds of my three girls! oops! how could forget the most important one my wife ! thank you! Joann !! I am so blessed.

My dad passed away a few months ago and everytime I hear this, I cry. After a break up with a bf he would always say, "no matter what you'll always have your daddy." I would give anything to hear those words again

Wow, This is one amazing song and Video. Thanks for sharing this with the world Zac and Company.

Love this song 💕

awesomeness... sent this to my baby girl .. thanks for the song .. bridged some gaps in a relationship..

Anyone with a dad knows that to hold on tight because anything can happen and they will be the one to help you through it

Zac Brown Band is seriously THE best modern country music band. They still respect the genre for what it is. They don't make these modern POP Country crap I'm hearing so much of. Thank you for that!

Great song this whole album has Such a good tone

I love this song and what an amazing videos, Just awesome Brother, One love One world, I know my dad is still watching over me from heaven, But this song really makes me feel him closer to me, Thanks Zack .......

This song always will bring me to tears. This was my dad's favorite song. I just lost my dad to leukemia 2 months ago and he was literally my best friend we did everything together,and he was super young as well I am only 24. Listening to this song actually makes me feel like he is still hear singing to me. Every word is one he would tell me. It helps me feel better. Thank you for making us song because it has helped me heal in more ways than I can believe. I was my dad's baby girl and always will be. Again thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Unsurprisingly good, you did it again ZBB. Its slower and deeper, but just as beautiful. Love all your songs, wish you would come to South Africa.

I’ll be 21 in less than a month, joined the army, came home, moved out of state twice since, and always came back home. Now my son will make his arrival in 28 weeks, and he’ll have my heroes first name❤️ Take it from a daughter, dads that do the best they can will always be the best we need.

Zack Brown Band does it again!

Always beautiful music

Wow, Awesome these guys know their creative art!!

Thank you Zac brown for this song made me cry😭 i've never seen my father for all my life😢 i wish you're my man,my boyfriend,my bestfriend my father you're my everything😭 thank you so much i love your songs legend country singer❤❤

I get it. Thank you Zac for what you do.

When my daughter was in the womb i sang this to her. A few other songs to. Shes my world. This song says it right... I thought i knew love until you came into this world...

I was going to go to your show almost 7years ago in missouri but I had to miss it BC my 9 month pregnant wife didn't want want to risk going into labor at a concert. She was born and I fell in lobe harder and deeper than I ever thought possible. That little girl is my whole entire world. She keeps me pushing on through all my demons and is the only one to never give up on me.

This song gets me every time. I lost my dad unexpectedly November 2015. It crushed my world. there's not a day that goes by I don't think about my dad. I just wish he would have gotten to meet my future husband. He's everything my dad wanted for me, and so much more than I could have ever dreamed of.

love all Zac Brown band.

yessss loving this all the way from Ireland. seen them at Wembley last year, cabt wait to see them again. what's everyone's favourite song live?

Only speaking for myself, I just found this band and love them and everything Zac is doing to build a camp for children who need this most of all. Was watching Treehouse Masters one of my favorite shows and my lifelong dream has been to have a treehouse. There this beautiful man was on the show. Little did I know how amazing he truly is, but instinct told me he was extra special so I did research and was stunned. What a great story his life appears and I'm sure that's not the half of it. He is evidently destined for blessings and great things in this world and its people like this who make it a better place to live in. Ironically his name is scarily close to an old friend I grew up with named Jack Brown who also is a stellar musician I jammed with as a young woman, so it felt I was supposed to run into this man Zac and his music since that's how my own life is, full of unimaginable twists and turns and destinies. I'm certainly glad I did and am looking forward to following along and listening. Beautiful sounds, beautiful words, uplifting and heartfelt... and I really do need them.
