Father & Daughter, by Paul Simon

Paul Simon - Father & Daughter

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 cant guarantee
There's nothing scary hiding under your bed
I'm gonna stand guard like a postcard
At the Golden Retriever
And never leave till I leave you
With a sweet dream in your bed

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 wooo
There could never be a father who loved
His daughter more than I love you

Trust your intuition
It's just like goin fishin'
You cast your line and hope you get a bite
You don't need to waste your time
Worryin' about the market place
Trying to help the human race
Strugglin to survive its harshest hour

Re: Father & Daughter, by Paul Simon

What a great song...I wanted to use it but it was just too fast...I think it's an strange song to dance to.

It's on The Wild Thornberry's Soundtrack if anyone is interested!

Re: Father & Daughter, by Paul Simon

It's on the Wild Thornberry's soundtrack. I know it sounds kind of kiddie, but there are some pretty good songs on it.

Re: Father & Daughter, by Paul Simon

I was actually going to use it until I decided to take 'You Lite Up My Life' because I use to sing it to my dad when I was little.

Re: Father & Daughter, by Paul Simon

That's the one I was thinking of. My daughter said she would love to play that for her dance with her Dad, but they would have a hard time dancing it together. If you can do it, I think it's an excellent choice.

Re: Father & Daughter, by Paul Simon

I was going to use this song, since my Dad loves Paul Simon, but it is a litle fast for us to dance to.

Re: Father & Daughter, by Paul Simon

Those lyrics are beautiful!! I wish I knew what the song sounded like. I'll have to click that link to hear a sample

I'm blocked from listening to it at work

Re: Father & Daughter, by Paul Simon

I never heard this song before (until someone at my baby shower made me a CD for me to play for my baby (and that song is on it) I love it and think it is perfect.
Maybe someday my daughter will dance with my husband to it (since she hears it every night before she goes to sleep...

Re: Father & Daughter, by Paul Simon

I love paul simon and I love the lyrics,,not super mushy, I have no idea how my dad dances,,,I'll have to really think about it, I'm glad you all like it
