Paul Simon - Father and Daughter lyrics

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

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

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

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 it's 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 who 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 who loved
His daughter more than I love you
