A song that makes you cry and why
I’m an emotional person, so listening to songs I can really relate to pierces my heart and makes me cry. I’ve stumbled upon beautiful songs that have made me tear up a bit in the past year, most of which are Ed Sheeran songs (such as Small Bump -- I really cried). But out of the 610 songs in my iTunes, there’s this one song that makes me cry no matter what.
It’s none other than Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle.
I chose a lyric video instead of the official music video, so you’d be able to read the lyrics, and find out why tears stream down my face whenever this comes up in shuffle.
This songs makes me cry because I consider this me and my dad’s song. I was in second grade when my parents brought me and my sister to school and I heard that song play in the car. “It’s called Butterfly Kisses,” I recall my mum telling me the title.
These lyrics really hit the spot and made me cry:
She'll change her name today
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away
Standing in the bride room just staring at her
She asked me what I'm thinkin'
And I said I'm not sure
I just feel like I'm losin' my baby girl
It fascinates me how at a young age, lyrics like these make me realise the reality and cycle of life. It’s just plain sick. And cool. My dad teases me occasionally on how I might be having a secret relationship and I’m not telling him.
I love how comfortable my relationship with my dad is. Last 2012, we kind of hit the rocks and our relationship wasn’t as good as it used to be. I love how this year’s becoming kind of okay for us.
PS, I had problems about my weight again, since my mum let me wear a sleeveless top, exposing my big arms. I told my dad how insecure I felt about my appearance, and guess what he told me?
“But are their faces beautiful?”
His words gave me hope. I love my dad so much, and I know that I can be a jerk to him and vice versa, but I really don’t know what I’d do without him!
