Coldplay is celebrating Dick Van Dyke's 99th birthday in the sweetest way possible.

On Friday, Dec. 6, the band released a special extended director's cut video for their new song, "All My Love." It features Van Dyke singing along with Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin, dancing with his family members and recalling some wonderful moments in his life.

The seven-minute clip was shot at the “Mary Poppins” star's home in Malibu, California.

"What is love? They've been attacking that question for centuries," Van Dyke says in the clip. "I don't know. It's certainly the feeling of caring about the welfare and the life of the other person as much as you care for yourself."

In the video, Van Dyke looked at some throwback photos, including one he had of him and his family together in their first home. The father and husband also revealed that his favorite lyric in “All My Love” is “Until I die, let me hold you ‘till I cry.”

While Martin sang that part by the piano, Van Dyke was seen closing his eyes and nodding along to the tune.

“I am acutely aware that I can go any day now,” he said. “But I don’t know why it doesn’t concern me. I’m not afraid of it. I have that feeling totally against anything intellectual I have that I am going to be all right.”

Van Dyke said he considers himself “one of those lucky people who got to do for a living what I would have done anyway.”

“When you think how lucky I am, I got to do what I do: play and act silly,” he added.

At the end, Van Dyke and Martin were seen sitting by the piano and sharing a laugh together. Martin, who has won seven Grammys, shocked the “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” star when he made up a song about “old age” out of thin air.

“Do you believe this man?!” he said of Martin’s talent. “I can’t believe it.”
