Behind every song, a story of love.<\/p>\n<p>This wasn\u2019t just an AGT audition. It was a father singing to his angel. A lullaby to heaven. A heartbreaking goodbye turned into a beautiful legacy.<\/p>\n<p>And in those few minutes, we all felt it. The pain. The love. The loss. The hope.<\/p>\n<p>So tonight, hug your kids a little tighter.
