There are few things in the world more heartwarming than a baby’s smile, so this video of a baby’s reaction to her father singing is sure to touch your heart.
Among all the adorable videos of fathers and daughters interacting that you can find online, this is one of the most heartwarming. In the video, a man sings “You Are So Beautiful to Me” to his baby daughter.
As the video begins, we see the baby laying down with her father cradling her head and his own face about a foot or so away from hers. Right from the start, you can see the love this young baby has for her father.
After he has only sung, “You are so beautiful,” she already emits a very large smile for a baby, along with a sound that anyone familiar with babies associated with happiness. As her father continues “… to me. Can’t you see?” she seems completely enthralled with him, just staring right into his eyes without her smile fading.
The baby even makes some small arm movements, almost as if she wants to reach for her father.
Of course, with a baby of this age, she may not be in control of arms yet, but observers will agree it looks like she wants to touch her father. The dad continues through the song:
“You’re everything I hope for. You’re everything I need.”
Then, he gets back to the chorus:
“You are so beautiful to me.”
The baby seems to really enjoy this part, with her smile getting even larger, if possible. At the end of the song, he gives her a sweet kiss.
This is the type of touching moment between father and daughter that most people don’t get to witness.
Instead of keeping it to themselves, this baby’s parents decided to share it with the world and bring some happiness to others. For those who have children, this video likely brings back those tender moments they shared with their children when they were young. For those without children, it provides a glimpse into what the special bond between parents and children is really like.
While the song, “You Are So Beautiful” by Joe Cocker, is typically associated with romantic love, the lyrics also fit perfectly with fatherly love.
“You are so beautiful to me. You are so beautiful to me. Can’t you see? You’re everything I hope for. You’re everything I need. You are so beautiful to me. You are so beautiful to me. […] You’re everything I hope for. You’re every, everything I need. You are so beautiful to me.”
Any parent will tell you that those lyrics almost exactly describe exactly how they feel about their children. Parents are enthralled by their children’s beauty and feel that a gap in their life has been filled with the arrival of their children.
The only thing we would change about the video is its anonymity.
Most viewers are so touched by the tender moment between father and daughter that they want to see more of this budding relationship. Since the video was originally posted over two years ago, we would love an update or at least to see a more recent video of the pair. In a few years, it would be interesting to see how the little girl reacts to her viral fame at such a young age.
Instead of following this pair, we have to settle for the other numerous videos online of dads bonding with their daughters. However, few will compare to the glowing smile of the baby girl in this video and the love in her eyes for her father.
