Father and Daughter Paul Simon Lyrics If you ever 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 memories Upstream To the meadow in the mountain Where we counted every falling star I believe the light that shines on you Will shine on you forever (forever) And though I can't guarantee there's nothing scary Hidin' under your bed I'm gonna Stand guard Like the postcard Of the golden retriever And never leave 'Til I leave you With a sweet dream in your head I'm gonna watch you shine Gonna watch you grow Gonna paint a sign So you always know As long as one and one is two Ooh ooh There could never be a father Love his daughter more than I love you
