But the real magic starts when they begin their song.

The harmonies and melodies between father and son are so perfectly in sync, creating an irresistible sound.

The lyrics, however, are what truly elevate the performance, tugging at the heartstrings of everyone listening.

“Lay your head on me
As I fall to sleep
Put your arms around mine
Stay here by my side

We’re the lucky ones
Only just begun
Others leave too young
We’re the lucky ones

Til’ your eyes can’t see
I’ll be all you need
Put your hand in mine
Stay here by my side”

You can see why the judges are by the time these two are finished!
