I used to sing this to my daughter when she was a baby and I would rock her in the middle of the night to get her back to sleep. Later, this was the father/daughter dance song for my daughters wedding, and I sang it to her as we danced. Love this song, and I absolutely loved your dad.
Thank you for this song Jimmy. I sang it to my daughter every night at bedtime when she was little... We just sang it to each other last Friday night at our Father/Daughter dance at her wedding. ❤️Rest in Peace.
Thank You Jimmy! My 30 year old daughter is getting married and she has known since her days in a car seat that this song was going to be her daddy/daughter dance! i don't blame you for the time we were running down the river in the boat when she was 5 and she sang every word of " why don't we get drunk and screw to her grandmother". That might have been my fault .
Thrilled to randomly come across these videos of Jimmy. Forever grateful to Delaney for putting these together. So sad to know he is no longer physically with us, but will forever be with us in spirit. Incredibly special moment having Little Miss Magic played for my daddy- daughter dance this past January. ❤😢
This really tugged at my heartstrings today 😭. My deepest sympathies to you Savannah for whom this song was about and to especially Delaney, probably hard to watch since you’re the one who did this series with your dad. My deepest sympathies to all of you. Jimmy was such a truly treasure for all to experience as a story teller, writer, musician and singer. Each one of these videos accompanied with his story and the photos have had me crying and feeling what lyrics are about and their meaning. Thank you Jimmy, sail on. ✌️🫶🤗
Lena: Ditto, tears in my eyes as I listen to this song about Savannah Jane and think about my wonderful daughter Sam. I am so blessed to have experienced Jimmy on many occasions and have such a wonderful daughter. May God take Jimmy in and grant him smooth sails. RIP Jimmy.
@@robertfrierson5832 We can all take comfort in knowing Jimmy, being raised a Catholic, I’m sure got things right w/Jesus beforehand & is singing praises to Him now....and will be, forevermore.🙌 Prayers to his family, who are all hurting badly now. May Jesus bring them the peace & comfort as only He can, & carry them through for as long as they need. See you soon, Captain!❤
@@sonneversets3530Thanks for your beautiful comforting words to Jimmy's family. May God Bless them with HIs Healing Grace now and in the days & months ahead.
Been listening for years and I accidentally found this on Pandora. I am in tears, my daughter, and son in law, have a 3 year old girl. And 3 boys. I cried at this song. And yes I sent it to my son in law. May God Bless you and your family.
Heard this song for first time back in the late 90s shortly after my daughter was born. She got married on August 12th and it's the song we danced to in the Father-Daughter dance. So sad to see him pass away just weeks later. This song always meant a lot to me.
Why is it so popular..... because we all are fathers and we want to be the best for our daughters and this song allows us to be fragile and it's such a nice piece of music for dad's everywhere.
This reminds me of my sweet brother Bruce Anderson ,from Mobile that died last year. He introduced me to JB MUSIC Long ago and I had to share with you .. that he called me the day Savanna Jane was born and how much he ABSOLUTELY LOVED HER NAME and knew I’d wanna know ❌⭕️❌⭕️😭💔💔💔💔
Being a father of two daughters myself, both grown and gone now, these songs about Jimmy’s girls warm my heart. Something very special about raising girls. I dearly love mine.
I have two very special grown daughters as well. His songs take me back to those special moments I was able to share with them. Jimmy was a special person that not many are ever made like him.
May Jesus welcome Jimmy into the eternal light of his face and wash Jimmy in his merciful waters of grace. May all fathers with a daughter sing this hymn for the goodness God has blessed us each with in our girls!
This was the Father-Daughter dance at my wedding. Was always one of my favorites. The officiant even worked it into the ceremony!. I am a parrothead from birth if ya can't tell!💯
So sorry he didn't live forever....except in our hearts.... I got to see him perform this in Atlanta...she came out with her pretty curls...then Jimmy & Jayne danced to Stars Fell over Alabama......priceless!!!❤❤❤
Another Beautiful Gift... Always one of my Favorites. These interviews were such special Gifts. Something in my Heart knew these were meant to preserve these Moments and making Memories with and for Delaney, his Family and us. Thank you. ☮️ 🙏💚🙏
This is my favorite Jimmy Buffet song ever. It's really hard to hear what is being played on the record. So happy to see this. Been a fan since my dad introduced me to this as a kid.
My stepfather Bob Stanley introduced me to you. And though he has passed on everytime I hear your music it reminds me of how great a father he truely was. Thanks Jimmy
I got this song title tattooed along side a portrait of myself and my mother, I was about 7 in the photo. It was first tattoo and was tattooed on my right shoulder blade in 2008. She absolutely loved the Keys and Jimmy, and sang this song to me as a child. Fast forward to February 7, 2021 and I lost my mother to her 5 year long Early Onset Alzheimers battle at the young age of 66. I was supposed to get married the following week that year. Our marriage was postponed to her birthday in July of 2022. This is absolutely going to be my Father-Daughter dance song in our wedding. My parents had been married for 39 years when she passed. Hopefully my Dad won’t see this because it’s a surprise. But really…….real tears from the depth of my soul. I love this. Thank you
My daddy always played this for me and we danced to it at my wedding for our father daughter dance in 2014. Also Jimmy Buffett was my first concert with my parents in Camden NJ. Love it!
Oh oh how sweet. I just found this. He loved you so much Magic & Delaney & other fam members that I have not yet learned about. Just starting to research him. I miss him & im just a nobody who enjoyed his talent.
I remember him playing this song at the Summit in Houston when the album came out. I was six years old third row center stage! I remember his daughter running out across stage to give him a hug! It was the very first concert my parents took me to!! So special of times going to see Jimmy when he came to Houston!
Just took my 17 month old little girl down to South Padre and we stayed at the Margaritaville Resort. My dad would take me to SP every summer and we would listen to Jimmy Buffet all the time. My dad would sing me to sleep with “A Pirate Looks At Forty” but I knew it as “Mother Mother Ocean”. He would sing this too and sometimes, I’m sure I caught a tear or two in his eyes. Now that I have a little girl, I understand why. This song does speak to the souls out there. Jimmy reached us and continues to reach the heart of families, generation after generation. ❤
Delaney, thank you for this and for all of these. I, a lifelong fan, am heartbroken that he is gone. I know it's a drop in the bucket compared to what you feel but I already miss him so much.
Check out ‘Bubbles Up’....His farewell ❤Song he left us ... As only Jimmy would. Taking solace knowing he’s in perfect bliss now, & forevermore.✝🙌 And really not missing a thing here.
I did not know this project was underway and/or had already happened ... I'm always a day late and a dollar short but sure would spend a few more dollars to have these videos on DVD. Not a better person to be doing the interview I should think ... Thank you Delaney!
All the more special now to keep these documentaries & his music with us into the future. What a treasure these videos are with the detailed backstories to all of these!!
Has been one of may favorite songs and always makes me think of watching my 30 year old daughter watch the ceiling fan as she would go to sleep when she was 3-5 years old
I think every father of a daughter can relate to this song! Nice job!! I always think of mine when I hear it, from when she was tiny back in the day ;)
Love Jimmy in concert but listen more to studio albums. Love them all. Didn’t love this album at first bc it’s unpolished. Yet these are my favorite songs and this is how I’ve always dreamed of hearing them (solo) so they grew on me. Now he’s he’s gone and they’ve become a cherished gift, I keep coming back. Thank you Delaney.
So glad you played this in Nashville 2021. I went with my daughter. She is getting married next year. I had never heard this song but I think it’s perfect for the Father/Daughter dance. Thank you
@Patriotic Dandelions Go away. He has a better chance of getting into Heaven than so called “Christians” who are judgmental and think fear will scare people into being “saved”.
@@Dan-C-71 Rest assured, Jimmy’s basking in Glory right now.🙌 He was raised Catholic & even though I’m not a fan of that religion (being raised one myself) he knows who our Savior is.✝ And knowing he was dying (a gift not everyone gets) I’m sure he made things right w/Jesus beforehand.👍 I pray Jesus comforts his devastated family at this trying time, & carries them through for as long as they need. He left us w/one last loving ballad, ‘Bubbles Up’. Check it out. And ask Jesus to Reveal Himself to you.✝He never refuses a _sincere,_ contrite heart. He patiently & lovingly waits for each of us to come to Him. But, time is running out, so...please don’t wait too long. :)
I've taken a pretty good dive into Jimmy's videos this week rather than listening to my play list. I absolutely love this series of videos and wish Delaney covered so many more songs with her father.
Since before she was born, "Little Miss Magic" was my daughter's song. She started 8th grade last week. Yeah, her name is Ava Delaney--I think Jimmy and both his daughters would approve. 🥲
I've sung this to my girls as a bedtime song for almost 13 years, since my first girl was born. I currently still sing it to my 7yo, until she outgrows me singing to her at night.
my dad passed away today at only 63. this was our song
Very sorry for your loss. Know you've heard this before, "the more you love the harder the loss!" Hold on to your memories. 😢
I miss ya Jimmy. Had some good times with ya. So down to earth. RIP🕊️
We Buffett fans are so grateful to Delaney for this series of videos. Now that he’s gone, at least we have these fantastic videos. ❤
I've seen Jimmy Buffett 22 times. Going to miss his shows and his amazing charisma and character! RIP my friend! 😢
I danced to this song with my dad when I got married. One of my favorites and a memory I will cherish with my dad forever.
my sister did too. wonderful song,'
So did I ❤
my sister too!@@MarisaLance
Same. ❤
So happy this series was made. Sail on Jimmy, thanks for the music, stories and memories.
R.I.P Jimmy This will be played at my daughter’s wedding.

You’ll never be forgotten
To Delaney this is the song I danced with my daughter to at her wedding, my daughter chose the song.
Wish we all were hanging out on Biloxi Beach dancing, you playing n singing again. PEACE ✌️
Thank you for this song Jimmy. I sang it to my daughter every night at bedtime when she was little... We just sang it to each other last Friday night at our Father/Daughter dance at her wedding. ❤️Rest in Peace.

I hope jimmy buffet lives forever. I love every ounce of his music.
He will live forever Parrot Heads will keep him alive with their music collection
None of us will live forever. That is why we must do our best to make every day count.

He’s w/Jesus.👍 But has a whole new repertoire now.
Cuz it’s all about Jesus there... Here, too. ✝ But ppl just don’t realize that fact enough.
What's your sister's name? - Every parent ever. Thanks for the memories.
This song is so popular because it's so pretty

If Jimmy Buffett ever dies I will be Hart broken.
I love you Jimmy
Yesterday was the day that ALL of hearts broke. 💔💔💔
Why is it so popular..... because we all are fathers and we want to be the best for our daughters and this song allows us to be fragile and it's such a nice piece of music for dad's everywhere.
He is amazing, I was 4or5 on Duvall street very sunburned have my noczima I believe he put it on me and sang a song he was so nice I remember him
This reminds me of my sweet brother Bruce Anderson ,from Mobile that died last year. He introduced me to JB MUSIC Long ago and I had to share with you .. that he called me the day Savanna Jane was born and how much he ABSOLUTELY LOVED HER NAME and knew I’d wanna know ❌⭕️❌⭕️😭💔💔💔💔
Being a father of two daughters myself, both grown and gone now, these songs about Jimmy’s girls warm my heart. Something very special about raising girls. I dearly love mine.
With his passing Sept 1, this video and the others in this series become even more special. Love and prayers for Jimmy’s wife and kids.
I have two very special grown daughters as well. His songs take me back to those special moments I was able to share with them. Jimmy was a special person that not many are ever made like him.
Thanks Delaney for making these special segment series! We all miss your father very much and are very grateful for all the joy he brought people.
Thanks Delaney for doing these series with your Dad! I have listened to it every day since Jimmy passed. So great to hear the two of you conversing.
May Jesus welcome Jimmy into the eternal light of his face and wash Jimmy in his merciful waters of grace. May all fathers with a daughter sing this hymn for the goodness God has blessed us each with in our girls!
Love and respect everyone is what I learned from my parents and passed it on to my children, Jimmy Buffett will always be loved and and in my heart.
This was the Father-Daughter dance at my wedding. Was always one of my favorites. The officiant even worked it into the ceremony!.
I am a parrothead from birth if ya can't tell!💯
Me too!
So sorry he didn't live forever....except in our hearts....
I got to see him perform this in Atlanta...she came out with her pretty curls...then Jimmy & Jayne danced to Stars Fell over Alabama......priceless!!!❤❤❤
Oh Brother Jimmy, we miss you! RIP, my friend
RIP JB.....this was always my favorite song of yours.......thank you for all you did to bring happiness to the worlds

These interviews were such special Gifts.
Something in my Heart knew these were meant to preserve these Moments and making Memories with and for Delaney, his Family and us.

I used to listen to Coconut Telegraph when my daughter was a baby and I would sing to her. There was a ceiling fan in that room. Loved it!!!
I played and sang this to my daughter when she was an hour old and continue to sing it to her it’s one of my favorite Jimmy songs
Oh oh how sweet. I just found this. He loved you so much Magic & Delaney & other fam members that I have not yet learned about. Just starting to research him. I miss him & im just a nobody who enjoyed his talent.
Ur not nobody-ur part of the Parrothead Family. ❤
He will always be remembered as the best of the best…..❤️

Thank you, Delaney, for putting this together, it‘s wonderful. I‘m a parrothead from way back. A piece of my youth died with Jimmy.
Just discovered this series. Can’t get enough of JB! 🥰
He lived a best life....

This song was the Father-Daughter dance for my oldest daughter at her wedding. Great song and beautiful memories.
It sure makes me sad he's gone, but his music will be forever.
I just love your spunk Delaney❤️I’m crying , but smiling at the same time! Thank you
I have three daughters, I wish I could memorialize them in a song like Jimmy Buffett. Fortunately, I think they know I love them with all my heart.
Watching your children grow and learn with wonder in their eyes is priceless. Thank you so much, D.
I feel like Jimmy knew me and my little girl when he wrote this. This song is love brought to life
It’s different knowing he’s no longer sailing our oceans. But he will live forever in our hearts and memories. He gave us so much ❤
I love and miss you jimmy!
Delaney, thank you for this and for all of these. I, a lifelong fan, am heartbroken that he is gone. I know it's a drop in the bucket compared to what you feel but I already miss him so much.
My favourite song from my favourite Jimmy Buffett album. I sang this song to my daughter so many times when she was a tiny.
I don't have kids and found this so heartfelt....
Thank you, Delaney for not only recording that history but for also sharing it with all of us who love your father’s music.
Played little Miss Magic when I married my love. My daughter was in our marriage. ❤❤❤❤❤
Rip Jimmy. Miss Magic is so fortunate u wrote this personal song for her.
Missing jimmy tonight
Check out ‘Bubbles Up’....His farewell ❤Song he left us ...
As only Jimmy would.
Taking solace knowing he’s in perfect bliss now, & forevermore.✝🙌
And really not missing a thing here.
Such a sweet and beautiful song, and always one of my favorites. Thank you Jimmy and Delaney (and Savannah!)

Great tune. He will be missed by so many.
Thanks from every dad with a daughter.
Loved this song when my son was born. Now he’s almost 21 (sniffle!)

In the liner notes for “Boats, Beaches, Bars, and Ballads” he’s says if you don’t write a song about your daughter you’re going to hell.

We love you Jimmy..... Let's keep the party going!!!!!!!
Why? Delaney, we were able to enjoy y'all thru his music. We knew dad wrote from his experience
If you could've only knew what you meant to not just my life but to all of us
I've sung this to my girls as a bedtime song for almost 13 years, since my first girl was born. I currently still sing it to my 7yo, until she outgrows me singing to her at night.
He's a far better songwriter than people think....
He was still so youthful here. 😢what a fn shame. All the money In the world… still can’t save us.
Beautiful song!
