Story behind the song
My second daughter comes into our room in the morning and crawls into bed with us. One morning I was just watching her sleep and thinking about the day she'd go off to college...
Lyrics
My Love I look at your face across the pillowcase Your sleepy eyes covered by wisps of hair I want to memorize this moment, freeze it in time Your perfect silhouette dipped in the morning light I want to pull you close, never let you go I want to feel your heart beat Hope you never grow old I want to steal your heart away, stay yours forevermore I want you to stay with me, my perfect, my love Such a bittersweet reality, for the day is near The day you choose to move on, I realize my fears We all grow and change, and the world it calls I don’t want to be left behind, but know that’s the way it goes I want to pull you close, never let you go I want to feel your heart beat Hope you never grow old I want to steal your heart away, stay yours forevermore I want you to stay with me, my perfect, my love I’ve resigned myself to know my role will one day be to let you go I hope your wings will take you far, my perfect fallen angel I want to pull you close, never let you go I want to feel your heart beat Hope you never grow old I want to steal your heart away, stay yours forevermore I want you to stay with me, my perfect, my love And when you want to come home I’ll be waiting right here for you My heart will leave the light on, my love will always shine through So as you lay here by my side in the glow of the morning light Just know I’ll be here by your side, with heavy heart and clear sight

My daughter is moving into her new apartment in two days. Needed my help with the deposit so I "loaned" her $100, put electricity in my name, and just now paid the $87 for deposit on it. Left me with $27 in my bank account. I have no regrets because she's my perfect, my love.
