Paul Simon - Father and Daughter Lyrics

If you ever 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 the 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 till 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
That loved his daughter more
than I love you

Trust your intuition
It's just like going fishing
You cast your line
And hope you'll 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
That loved his daughter more
than I love you

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
That loved his daughter more
than I love you

  • @CoyKiyote I'm only a teenager, and I know nothing about parenting, but calling your son useless, because he chooses art over athletics isn't very cool. At that age I preferred drawing over running, and now I played varsity high school football as a freshman and sophomore. Don't give up, no one did on me. No matter how much they wanted

  • Another Paul Simon masterpiece. I dedicated this song to my daughter Lauren when I first heard it 10 years ago in the Thornberry's movie. It is so tender and moving, I shall always love it. No father ever loved a daughter more than I love you, Lauren...

  • I wish I had a daughter! My 7 year old son is useless; he's terrible at everything he tries. :( It's awful having a kid that is scared of baseballs and can't even ride a bike! All he wants to do is draw. I ground him and take away his markers and he treats me like the worst dad in the world. I'm miserable because his mom (my wife) passed away 4 years ago. Ugh this situation can't be won but for that I wish I had a daughter instead.

  • I told my dad the first time I heard it in the Thornberry's movie, this was going to be my father/daughter wedding dance song ^_^

  • Back when I was younger, & the wild thornberry's movie came out. This was my dad and I's song. <3

  • i love this song and my daddy
