LYRICS
I wish I could do better by you,
'cause that's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
In order for this to work.
While I'm off chasing my own dreams
Sailing around the world
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl
When you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave
Fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost
You don't ask for no diamond rings no delicate string of pearls
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
One, two, one two three four
I wish I could do better by you
'cause it's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
in order for this to work
While I'm off chasing my own dreams (my own dreams)
sailing around the world ('round the world)
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl
And when you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave and fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost
But you don't ask for no diamond rings (Diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (String of pearls)
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
But you don't ask for no diamond rings (Diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (String of Pearls)
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl

I had heard this song years ago. I never knew much about city and colour. I played it for my girlfriend once before she took a bus across the country, it was definitely a sad time that tested our love for each other...two months ago I remembered this song, not the lyrics or the name or even the band, but the feel of the song is what I remembered. I searched online so hard to figure it out and just couldn't. Well today I finally got a random suggested video and here I am, listening to it with my wife (same woman) reminiscing the road we've been on :)
Ù
That's freaking awesome man! Congrats on you finding the song and congrats on your marriage!
what a story!
❤❤❤🎉
Perfect description of life with Songs & Artists. ❤
I wasn’t able to keep her but this song is a good reminder of what our love was, and for that I’ll be forever grateful
Bro go to therapy
Shut the fuck up that wasnt genuine@@dougshakes8776
Damn 14 years ago... What a world we lived in.. And the way this song literally takes you back there.. Even if you never heard it... Even if it was remastered in better quality... this takes you back to 09.. What a time...
2020 whose back Listening to this gem cause QUARANTINE has you some way
@No Name please develop a name.
Hahaha!!
Seriously I come to escape quarantine and I’m met with a dumb comment about quarantine. Just let me forget
Me
dallas is always on my playlist
Dallas = City
Green = Colour
City and Colour
xXxBibblexXx
Holy shit. I seriously never got that. You get a well deserved W.
My mind just blows
xXxBibblexXx duh
I dont get it?
Mr.Fardin His real name is Dallas ”Michael John Albert” Green. That’s why
Dallas Green is a precious human being we must protect
Hey It's Lily one of the purest and most precious human beans ever 💜
th-cam.com/video/MOwJTURljRk/w-d-xo.html
got to hear this !!! :) !!!
You're god damn right
Both him and Leah definitely not precious people by any means.
I absolutely love how ambiguous the song is. It could be very well written for his girlfriend, sister, or his Mom. Beautiful song.
Except it is clearly about a romantic interest.
Vincent Olmos Don't ruin the moment.
He could be romantically in love with his sister or mom 😳
Terry Johnson Don't. Go. There.
Terry Johnson LOL!
the 255 people who gave this a thumbs down are entitled to their own opinions. They should just know that they're wrong.
This song makes me cry.... I don't know about anyone else..... but put yourself in the girls situation it is hard. To be in love while the other person is busy chasing. There dreams and doing what they want.... Sometimes you gotta be like I don't wanna be the girl anymore
I totally get that. I feel it from the other perspective too. Being torn between personal ambition and someone you love is rough.
Yep.... I have been down that road....
Well I hope things are better (or at least getting better)! (:
They. Are wonderful now :)
I'm glad to hear it :D
If a woman loves you when you have no money, she's a keeper..
+lysol5555 Yep. She sure did. And I broke up with her in the fall of 2012. Now I regret it.
***** Yes, definitely. She became very insecure, and just started accusing me of going out and cheating on her when I never even came close. She had sort of a nervous breakdown. She drove me insane. But looking back, as many emotional problems as she had, still I can't imagine someone loving me the way she did. It was intense. Just a lot of drama though. Thank you sir.
😣
Word on the street is there is 2 or three left... and they are 90 years old. winning.
big titties a bonus
Does no one else understand that this music video was just a bunch of different times of him playing it live?? Pure talent! Put some headphones in and you can hear the slight changes in his voice and guitar due to being in different rooms or outside. It's simply stunning.
As cool as it sounds, that's not true at all.
SShimon Ikr 😂
SShimon
But how do you know it's not true?
@@xander4644 man get some ears
@@xander4644 jk bro I love u
listening to this, wishing things were different.
Right there with ya, buddy.
Same here buddy
Same
Same
isaac nash I just act tough but at nights I need a song like this
5 years ago my ex said this song was our song. First guy to break my heart. Last week he came back into my life, but didn't tell me he had a girlfriend. Still a dick, but at least this song is still great.
Nicole Andersen LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
This is such a beautiful song. Whenever I get married i want this to be mine and my wife's song.
my friend asked me to be a groomsman in his wedding and he sang this song to his wife as I played the guitar for him and the rest of the groomsmen were background/echo vocals in the last part of the song. it was super great. I say you learn it and sing it!
Eric Reyna is there a video on TH-cam?
You married yet?
Are you married yet?
2020 -and I still listen to this almost every day.
Me too. Every day.
2056 - same here.
My hubby proposed to this song, it was perfect ;)
+Patricia Ortigoza tell him hes making the rest of us look bad...except for the guy who propsed to his girl to this song Live at the filmore detroit last week. Congrats by the way
+Patricia Ortigoza Did the song say yes? :P
Oh that's so cute! :-)
NEW FREEBIRD? what! come on. some songs are masterpieces that can never be replace and that will be around until the end of time. freebird is one of those songs just like let it be, stairway to heaven, more than a feeling and imagine . i really like this songs but its not a masterpiece. i like this song a really good modern folk song. nice job. :)
How cute. I hope the song said yes.
Music like this is what reminds me that we still have some good music left in this world, unlike the crappy music that they play on the radio
Listening to this, sitting in my garage, drinking alone on Saturday night, loving every minute of it.
I am totally going through the worse heartbreak of my life right now and this used to be our song. If I ever get the pleasure again, I will be sure to cherish every part of life with her. Damn my heart truly hurts
I see this post was a year ago. I am going through this right now. I hope it gets easier.
@@sarahvonderhaar4961 hey thanks for sharing. I don’t wanna sell you false hope and say it gets easier because that would be a disservice. If I’m being honest you just gotta build yourself up and be the best version of you and I promise things will come along. It’s always hard letting a person go but we got this. Stay up queen ✌🏾✌🏾
Hey man. I feel your pain. This was me in 2011. FML.
We all have been there there that one person you had a whole future with you never thought you would be without for the rest of our lives my heart goes out to anyone going through it hang in there
This song always put me in the feels.
The first time I heard this song my ex was singing it to me. I miss you, and I still love you, and I think I always will.
malibu64 do you still?
bump for answers.
@@emily444l I'm also curious, I had found this song when I was in love with my ex, we have parted ways long ago, but yet when I listen to this song I feel a good nostalgia, and it brings me back a old teen romantic part of me, that used to believe in true love
Fuckin rip my guy
Omg, the exact thing happens to me. Deep down I hope someday our ways will cross again, but I find it hard to believe. This and many other songs make me feel this way, but this was maybe the first he played and sang to me
Gosh. I love that feeling of appreciation I get from hearing City and Colour's music. Finding good music that comes from the heart is so rare these days.
I simply have no words to say how much I love the voice and charisma of this wonderful singer, the first time I heard love come back to me, I can't stop following, I love it with passion 💖💖
The only artist literally brings me to tears, not because his songs remind me of anyone, but because of his pure talent. his songs take me back to an era of my life that was beautiful. I’m grateful to Dallas.

got to hear this !!! :) !!!
I have to travel a lot for work gone for two weeks at a time. I’ve sung this song to my twin daughters as their lullaby since they were born (2014). Holds a special place in my heart for sure. Thanks Dallas.
As hair raisingly beautiful now as 12 years ago. Much love to Dallas for blessing us with his beautiful voice and music
Old Gold 😻
If I found a genie in a bottle, my third wish would be to sound exactly like him when I sing.
I connect with you. My Army soldier showed me this song. He's currently in Afghanistan, This is our song and I've even cried just from hearing this. We're engaged to be married the year after he's back, but until then, I'm waiting for him.
Best wishes to you and your girl. You can do it. Love knows no distance.
So did u get married?
This song gets me every time. ;-; my husband is deployed rightnow. I miss him so much.
One of the classic songs I listened to when I was younger. Now I’m getting married to it. Wild, whole lotta life
i've never seen the actual music video for this song before but seriously how freaking cute is it..... God bless
I Love How At The End Hes Like " I Just Broke A Stringg" Lmao
Its the cold
That’s the best part of this video 😂
No matter how sad I find myself I can always listen to this song and be in perfect harmony.
She is good xx

got to hear this !!! :) !!!
I'm in the armed forces and I would like to say thank you for writing this beautiful song. It perfectly matches my fiance and I's relationship. We're getting married this November and I'm hoping to use this as our wedding :) Love your lyrics and voice, both as a musician and as a member of the armed forces!
I wish I could do better by you
'Cause that's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
In order for this to work
While I'm off chasing my own dreams
Sailing around the world
Please, know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl
When you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave, fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost
You don't ask for no diamond rings
No delicate string of pearls
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl
Oh, oh, oh, oh
One, two, one, two, three, four
I wish I could do better by you
'Cause it's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
In order for this to work
While I'm off chasing my own dreams
Sailing around the world
Please, know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl
And when you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave and fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost
But you don't ask for no diamond rings
No delicate string of pearls
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
But you don't ask for no diamond rings
No delicate string of pearls
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl
October 2021 and still love this
I still can't make it through this song without thinking of her.
Second half of this is where i get the most joy/feels out of this
I have hope for this new generation! I'm a 70's girl and this music gives me chills! LOVE it. Thank heavens for my kids who share.
He's born in 1980, the very end of Gen X 1965-1980 This current generation AKA Gen Z/Zoomers are lost, creativity and originality left the building a long long time a go. Blame social media :) Ruining Millenials and Zoomers
My wedding song ❤
This sing makes me cry everytime...thats how i know its too good
"Just broke a string... Do you believe that?"
4:16
Love this song, but this part is my favorite. Makes me laugh everytime. 😂
This may sound riciulous but... I sent this song a while ago to my girlfriend....
I traveled from New York to Bangkok... now Jeffrey & Supaporn are married... and we're so happy... what a great memory.
+Jeffrey Osborn Supaporn? Super porn? What?
Tyler Durden. Worst part is, I tell her that too.... she thinks it's funny so I told her on her resume only use the name "Su" lol
wow that's so sweet 👍👍
Sunday Tang We married back in November. Her visa (green card) to the USA was approved on Thursday!
+Jeffrey Osborn Congrats to you both! This song is pure magic!
I can't believe he didn't think City and colour would resonate with people!
The majority of his music hits so close to home being a recovering addict it's insane.
Canada has SOOOOO much talent!

City and Colour - Dallas Green!
fairy voice, fairy song, live long man.
This melody is more of a memory.
For someone reason i always think about my mum when i hear this song ❤️ she sacrificed and risked everything to leave her country and start a life. Whenever im too busy chasing ny own dreams this song reminds me to be grateful how it all became possible...
I've watched and listened to this guy evolve over the past 10 years. He's turned into something great. Though, sometimes I wish I could go back to the early C&C days. The golden aged Alexisonfire days. Those were some of the best times of my life.
The ending of the video makes me love Dallas that little bit more.
this song makes my heart ache in the best way.
Debately one of the most talented singers and he only has 3 million views thats shameful when a guy like jb gets over 100 million on every video
I'm pretty sure about 400,000 of the 3.5m views on this video are from me
Not possible, 3.4million are from me lmao.
views are only count once per device
Really? that sucks. I would love for all my views of this video to assist the channel.
Stephany Campos Alves No it doesn't
That would be about 54 days of listening, about 1.7 months dedicated to one song lol
one of the best songs I ever heard.
Seconded from another USA citizen grateful for your service and praying for your continued safety!
I'm in the navy, and I'd suggest my fellow sailors listen closely to these lyrics. they mean a lot to me for sure. Hooya 10 counts
Austin Toney amen brother. I'm a navy vet and love this song. I play it for my wife all the time. Fair winds bro, stay safe.
amazing song
Look at how Josh Schott plays this song! Its so good!
I love how this is two songs in one
Guys, does anyone know which movie this was on? I saw a recent movie where this was played but I forgot now 😥
th-cam.com/video/MOwJTURljRk/w-d-xo.html
got to hear this !!! :) !!!
2019 homies where you at?
Abigail Casco Right here ❤️
ayyyyyye
2020 yo!
No I’m from 63177
St. Louis, Missouri? or the year 63177
I pray this day comes for you both, stay safe.
Please know that I'm yours to keep.
Emotional song.
Played at my wedding 4/29/17! Dallas is my fawking hero!
there is just something about this song that gets to me.
These guys are amazing ❤
Just heard this song today on Spotify shuffle radio, and shocked that this song was released 12 years ago
I met Megan in 2012. She was so amazing, so amazing to me and everyone around her. She had an inner light that could never be dimmed. I played this song for her, and I thought it was going to be forever. We drifted apart due to circumstances out of our hands. Two weeks ago I found out she had died. I played this song remembering that night we spent together, dreaming about our future together, listening to “The Girl” 🥹
Love this song, but so difficult when you just keep on thinking of people from your past.
I love how half of this is live.
Ummm love this song❤❤❤❤
"when you cry a piece of my heart dies"
I’m still listening to this. Am I too old?
I chuckled so much at the end, because exactly the same thing happened to me a while back. I was sat outside (it was pretty chilly) playing THIS VERY SONG (!!!!!) when a string broke. Wasn't pleased.
Still gives me the chills.
I sang this to my girlfriend in front of the entire school just to tell her how much I loved her. We were together for over a year and a half, and I was sure that she was the girl of my dreams. She broke up with me about a month ago.Ever since then, I've stuck around to support her in everything she does as her bestfriend. I still love her so much and I really want her back. If I ever do get her back, I promise to cherish her even more than before, and sing this song to her everyday. I love you
9 years has passed r y’all good?
Damn dude.
"While I'm off my chasing my own dreams, sailing around the world, please know that I'm yours to keep my beautiful girl..."
Distance means so little when someone means so much
This man knows a good place to sit when he sees one.
Amazing artist.
His voice..
For sara. Im sorry.
What kind of shit is this!!
First heard this song on One tree Hill
One of my all time favs
he has the key to my heart
Here in 2019
I absolutely love this song. It explains how I feel so closely when i think of my girlfriend.
How things are goin' now ??👀
I love this song!!!
Love how this is LIVE!!!!
A hundred twenty nine people didn't have a beautiful girl to devote this too.
my wife walked down the isle to this song
Love this.
Love this and all of Dallas's music. Amazing.
looks like the guy from skrillex's 'first of the year (equinox)' video has finally gotten himself together
+Kevin Yuliawan Music OH SHIT
Me and my girlfriend are going to play this at our wedding ❤️❤️❤️
Just perfect.
One of my favorites
