This is one of the most beautiful openings to any film I've ever seen. As an **ahem** older woman, I would give anything to be able to have my children be little again, just for a day. Parents, enjoy them while they're young and you can hold them....

This clip also has the final scene of the movie and the closing credits, with more verses of the song.

Thank you so much for posting. Such a contrast.

The opening scene is beautiful, full of hope, a young mother and son. The closing scene is so sad, the mother now old, basically alone, even though she is there with her son and his wife.
