Showing improvement, Kelly, but I do agree with Barry's comment's about holding the note's.
Hold the notes long enough to lead into the next verse without the long pause. You may even want to improvise a couple notes after the hold.
I played along with the song also and found it much smoother by holding your notes.
Doing well, though.

I also think I would prefer longer notes at the ends of the phrases. I think you should try it that way, but express it the way you like.
I like the sound of your bowing.
I think the biggest gain would be from improving your intonation. One way to do that would be to play a D major scale (D E F# G A B C# D) slowly into your tuner about a million times, trying for a green light on every note, giving extreme attention to the pitches and your finger positions. If you can't manage a million times, maybe try it ten times or so per practice session, alternating playing the song and playing the scale.
Good job overall.
Have you memorized it, or are you reading? I'm guessing that you are taking baby steps in ear playing.
