Walk down the sidewalk,
Staring at your feet,
Wishing my steps were longer,
So by your sides I could keep.
Hold your hand much bigger,
Never wanted mine to grow,
So I could always fit perfect,
Inside your palms just so.
No one loves me just like you do,
No one knows me just like you do,
No one can compare to the way my eyes fit in yours,
You'll always be my father,
And I'll always be your joy.
Lay me on your belly,
Nights when mama wasn't home,
Lightning made me shiver,
And you never let me feel alone.
I tried to match your breathing,
Beating my little heart against yours,
Perfect were the nights we were sleeping,
I never want to end what we are.
'Cause no one loves me just like you do,
And no one loves me just like you do,
No one can compare to the way my eyes fit in yours,
You'll always be my father,
And I'll always be your joy.
One day he'll come on bended knee,
And ask my love away from me,
And when I give my love to him,
He'll always have a place within.
One day he'll come on bended knee,
And ask my love away from me,
And when I give my love to him,
You'll always have a place within.
No one loves me just like you do,
No one knows me just like you do,
No one can compare to the way my eyes fit in yours,
You'll always be my father,
And I'll always be your joy.
