|
I'd love to hear you laughing |
|
Love so see you smile |
|
Dance that little dance you danced |
|
When you were just a child |
|
The way the world came at you |
|
Left you bitter and confused |
|
The more I tried to guide your path |
|
The more you just felt used |
|
The sun comes up to my room |
|
But there are no guarantees |
|
It can rock you like a baby |
|
It can knock you to your knees |
|
The path that lies between us |
|
Is a star crossed avenue |
|
I've done everything |
|
I canThere's nothing |
|
I can doSo you loved that girl to death |
|
And you're scared to take a breath |
|
It's like everything you've dread |
|
Swings are hammer in your head |
|
So her heart's locked in a vault |
|
And you think it's all your fault |
|
It's a dream as old as dirt |
|
And you can't stand to see her hurt |
|
May the little voice that guides you |
|
Send a message through for me |
|
Reminding you you're beautiful |
|
And will forever be |
|
I wish that |
|
I could be there now |
|
To tell you it's alright |
|
It's a darkened, taunting raiser's edge |
|
You're walking on the night |
|
The sun comes up to my room |
|
But there are no guarantees |
|
It can rock you like a baby |
|
It can knock you to your knees |
|
The path that lies between us |
|
Is a rough and rocky route |
|
I've done everything |
|
I canAnd there's nothing |
|
I can doSo you're learning to let go |
|
And the process is so slow |
|
While your baby plums the depths |
|
You keep climbing up the stairs |
|
She was daddy's little girl |
|
You were ruler of the world |
|
And now she's out there in the fray |
|
I'll bet she'll be back someday |
|
You heard me say a million times |
|
My work is never done |
|
For those who keep the wolves at bay |
|
There is no setting sun |
|
To see you standing here today |
|
Pretty child, you've come so far |
|
Which proves that you can find your way |
|
No matter where you are |
|
The sun comes up to my room |
|
But there are no guarantees |
|
It can rock you like a baby |
|
It can knock you to your knees |
|
The path that lies between us |
|
It's the long way home, it's true |
|
I've done everything |
|
I canAnd there's nothing |
|
I can doI've done everything |
|
I can and look at you |
