I make no pretense. This song, performed by the late Luther Vandross, just knocks me out. It is profoundly and simply beautiful. I can offer no further explanation. The song is written and performed with neither embarrassment nor shame -- it is sacred to me, and to many others. I dedicate it to my late father.

And now, some comments from YouTube users about this song. Take a moment and read them all. Forget the grammar, the spelling, the syntax -- go to the Heart. They might wake you up. You might want to pick up the telephone and make a call or two. You might need to let go of a grudge. You might need to says "thanks," or "I'm so sorry" to someone before it 's too late. Don't serve a life sentence of regret for what you did or did not say. Anything that you say can be the very last thing that the other person ever hears from you. Amen. I love you, Dad.

Quotes From YouTube:

i remember my dad saying "I love you son" before we had a car accident and now he's on coma. To all of son/daughter out there don't waste time love your parents every single day because you never know what's gonna happen tomorrow.

I just lost my daddy on November 23, 2011. I'm a "girl" but he was my hunting buddy, my fishing buddy, and my best friend. Wherever your mother and father may be, don't waste a moment of time loving them. This will be the first Christmas without him. I hope it gets easier, but this song is word for word very accurate to any "daddy's little girl".

My dad got a brain hambridge. The doctors said he could've died, and in that single moment, I thought I would die aswell.

Fortunately, thanks to God, I still have him. But it's just very hard to realize he can dance with me anymore, nor lift me up ever again. Jesus, this song...
I realize that single night was the worst I could ever be through. I don't wish it on anyone.
Let`s cherish our fathers, and mothers, dead or alive. Let's just love them
