Paul Simon — Father and Daughter

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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
