My Daughter’s Dreams

One step ahead
Before she could walk
She had the last word
Before she could talk
Now her love is the stage
But my heart she owns still
And though time turns a page
She'll always be daddy's girl

With keen eyes she measured
What her heart still treasures
Hard work her only scheme
Rainbows and wishes
High hopes and near misses
But the world is as it seems
In my daughters dreams

Testing the waters
And rowing through hurt
She chose for the better
And avoided the worst
Last call boarding now LA
Listen close and be sure
She said wherever I stay
I'll always be daddy's girl

With keen eyes she measured
What her heart still treasures
Hard work her only scheme
Rainbows and wishes
High hopes and near misses
But the world is as it seems
In my daughters dreams

One step behind
I fall to the back
As the clamorous crowd
Seeks her autograph
In the queue she finds me
As the lights blind and blur
And when she finally breaks free
She says, I'm still daddy's girl

With keen eyes she measured
What her heart still treasures
Hard work her only scheme
Rainbows and wishes
High hopes and near misses
But the world is as it seems
In my daughters dreams
