Father and daughter.

 

Father and daughter.

(Paul Simon)

 

If you keep 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 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 retriver

and never leave 'till I leave

with a sweet dream in your bed,

 

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.
