How Many Sleeps

How many sleeps 'til I see you again
How many waves on the shore
How many wishes and how many prayers
Before you are with me once more

I'll kiss you goodnight and I'll promise to write
And I'll see very soon
We'll be looking at the same moon
I'll be there when you call
And the moment is forever
Oh, Amy Rose, I love you most of all

Lions and tigers and crocodile tears
Things that go bump in the night
I'll be your hero and dry all tears
Drive all your fears out of sight

And how do you find it so easy to leave me
Alone inside my room
I will see you in the same stars
I will hold your face somehow
And the moment is forever
My Amy Rose, this is your Daddy's vow

I will meet you at the Kissing Gate
Remember the fish on the stone
I will meet you down at Amy's barn
And you will never be alone
You will never be alone

How many sleep 'til I see you again
How many rays in the sun
Daddy, I love you as long as I live
Long as a river may run

How many colors we see in a rainbow
And chase that red balloon
Are we looking at the same moon
We will never be apart
And the moment is forever
My Amy Rose, I live inside your heart

I will meet you at the Kissing Gate
Remember the fish on the stone
I will meet down at Amy's barn
And you will never be alone

And whether she's running through the yellow fields
Or barefoot on the stones
I will meet you down at Amy's barn
And you will never be alone
You will never be alone

No not alone, Amy
