Father And Daughter

If you leap awake in the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction of a second you can't remember where you are
Just open your window and follow your memory upstream
To the meadow in the mountain where we counted every falling star

I believe a light that shines on you will shine on you forever
And though I can't guarantee there's nothing scary hiding under your bed
I'm gonna stand guard like a postcard of a golden retriever
And never leave 'til I leave you with a sweet dream in your head

I'm gonna watch you shine, gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign so you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father who loved his daughter more than I love you

Trust your intuition, it's just like going fishing
You cast your line and hope you get a bite
But you don't need to waste your time worrying about the market place
Try to help the human race struggling to survive its harshest night

I'm gonna watch you shine, gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign so you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father who loved his daughter more than I love you
