Fathers and Daughters

The other night while I was cooking dinner, I found these two playing UNO in the living room. It was just so sweet the two of them hanging out together. I thought to myself that Mira is a very lucky girl! She is lucky because her father loves her unconditionally, he spends time with her, he teaches her, he encourages and he also corrects her when she is wrong. That alone makes me love this man even more! I wanted to share the lyrics of Fathers and Daughters by Paul Simon. Ron loves this song and way way in the future when Mira gets married Ron will request that this be played for the father and daughter dance.




If you ever leap 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 memory 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
And though I can't guarantee
There's nothing scary hiding under your bed
I’m gonna stand guard
Like a postcard of a Golden Retriever
And never leave till 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'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you

Trust your intuition
It's just like going fishing
You cast your line
And hope you'll get a bite
But you don't need to waste your time
Worrying about the market place
Try to help the human race
Struggling to survive its harshest night

I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you

I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you
