So many blessings I received from my parents. I hope I was half the parent to my kids that mine were to me!

Love your songs Marc, If one great concert combo was Elton John and Billy Joel, I would love to see Marc Cohn and Bruce Hornsby together in concert. WOW would that be great!

Don't know much about youDon't know who you areWe've been doing fine without youBut, we could only go so farDon't know why you chose usWere you watching from aboveIs there someone there that knows usSaid we'd give you all our loveWill you laugh just like your motherWill you sigh like your old manWill some things skip a generationLike I've heard they often canAre you a poet or a dancerA devil or a clownOr a strange new combination ofThe things we've handed downI wonder who you'll look likeWill your hair fall down and curlWill you be a mama's boyOr daddy's little girlWill you be a sad reminderOf what's been lost along the wayMaybe you can help me find herIn the things you do and sayAnd these things that we have given youThey are not so easily foundBut you can thank us laterFor the things we've handed downYou may not always be so gratefulFor the way that you were madeSome feature of your father'sThat you'd gladly sell or tradeAnd one day you may look at usAnd say that you were cursedBut over time that line has beenExtremely well rehearsedBy our fathers, and their fathersIn some old and distant townFrom places no one here remembersCome the things we've handed down

Listen to the words carefully....... priceless.

I like the album version better, but yes - amazing song. I struggled with fertility for 3 years and this song made me cry hystercially before I ever got pregnant. Later, after I was able to conceive, every time I hear it it just wells up all that emotion again. Reminds me of how grateful I am to have had my children.

I'm trying to find the original psalm in Swedish, is it "Den blomstertid nu kommer"?

I remember listening to this song a lot when my wife was pregnant with my daughter. She's almost 19 now and left for college. Just a great and poignant song.

Heard this when I was about 14 for the first time and it spurred me into taking songwriting seriously, just because of how beautifully written it is. Never do covers on YouTube, but I made an exception this week, been one of my favourites for years. Obviously nowhere as good as the man himself, but I gave it a go. Let me know what ye think! If ye'd be so kind ;) Obviously can't post a link, but it's easy to find on my channel (: Nx
