Lyrics

[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 the light that shines on you will shine on you forever (Forever)
And though I can't guarantee there's nothin' scary hidin' 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
[Verse 3]
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 4]
Trust your intuition, it's just like goin' fishin'
You cast your line and hope you get a bite
But you don't need to waste your time
Worryin' about the marketplace, try to help the human race
Strugglin' to survive its' harshest night
[Verse 5]
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 6]
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
