00:00 To the incredible under -- I think, by the way,
00:03 I am a non-indulgent fan of Bocelli.
00:06 He will tell you, and you know that to be the case.
00:09 He -- God, he -- anyway.
00:11 (Laughter.)
00:13 He's incredible, I think.
00:14 Jill and I had the honor to host him for Christmas
00:17 at the White House in our first year in office,
00:19 and you performed with your son and daughter
00:22 as if you were a choir of herald angels.
00:25 And in a difficult time for our family,
00:29 after we lost our son Bo,
00:30 you expressed in a song what we felt in our hearts.
00:33 From your song, "Fall On Me," it goes like this.
00:38 It says, "Fall on me with open arms.
00:41 Fall on me from where you are.
00:43 Fall on me with all your light."
00:46 Andre, boy, you're a gift.
00:50 You're a gift to my family at that moment,
00:52 and you continue to be.
