Your support makes all the difference.A video posted on YouTube of a baby's reaction to her mother's beautiful singing voice has gone viral.
The 10-month-old baby girl reacts like an emotional adult to her mother singing Rod Stewart's "My Heart Can't Tell You No".
Marie-Lynne is so moved by her mum Amanda's private performance that her eyes well up with tears. She then goes through a series of emotions.
Amanda is too shy to sing in public, but she has certainly found an appreciative audience at home.
In an interview with Right This Minute, she reveals her shock when she first saw her daughter's tears. She recorded her for Marie-Lynne's father, who didn't believe the baby's reaction could be true.
"It's like she understands the meaning of the song," Amanda said.
"My Heart Can't Tell You No"'s lyrics are about the pain of unrequited love.
Marie-Lynne is now one-year-old.
Simply, adorable.
