Earlier this month, McGraw, 53, who has three daughters with Hill, 52, said that the first time he heard the song, \"I just sort of fell apart.\" He added that learning the lyrics so that he could serenade Hill intensified its impact.
\"It really hit me,\" McGraw said. \"It has a simple message to it, but it just means so much.\"
