  • Brit from Nashville, TnRight before Faith was to shoot the video for this song the building was caught on fire. It was impossible to use the inside for the video still, but they still used the outside of the building. They shot the inside shots at anther location. Great video.
  • Camille from Toronto, OhAn all time classic song & video. Somehow I think Faith Hill resembles Ashley Judd in the video...I like how she switches off from glammed-up to down-to-earth looks. Gretchen Peters, a fabulous songwriter. We named our bunny Gretchen after her! And she's right...life IS about moments, and the secret is to realize that you're happy when you're happy. And ain't nothin' like a good cup a coffee.
  • David from Hanove, WvThis song says so much when I hear it..It gets you to really think about the little things in life that we all take for granted at times..We all look for the big picture when its usually right in front of our noses and we dont realize it..
