Judge Simon Cowell couldn’t believe what he was hearing and said, “I used to hate that song, and now I absolutely love it”. Fans flooded the comments on YouTube with how this song touched them; one even shared how this song helped him personally:

“My wife and family have had the worst year of our collective lives. My wife of 56 years has been battling cancer. Just when we thought she could ring the bell, they found they didn’t get it all. More surgery, chemo etc. when I heard this I was so move I actually sobbed. Not just because of how beautifully she sang it but the meaningful way she stressed the lyrics. God bless you Sidney for lifting us up when every day seems to be filled with more disappointments. This will help us think about “Tomorrow”. Just beautiful !!! Now I can face tomorrow.”
