| | Father and Daughter Lyrics Artist(Band):Paul Simon
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 If you find some error in Father and Daughter Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Father and Daughter My Beloved Daddy | Reviewer: Aimee | 11/1/09 My beloved Daddy died from cancer just over a week ago on 23/10/09, two hours before his 57th birthday. I miss him terribly, he was my best friend and we were so close. I have been blessed to have such a wonderful Dad and was proud to have him give me away at my wedding nearly two years ago now. He ended his wonderful speach with 'in the words of Paul Simon, There could never be a father who loved his daughter more than I love you' and I have never forgotten it. This song has very special meaning for me and he will be laid to rest tomorrow with a copy of the words. I love you Dad. Xx for daddies | Reviewer: kayz | 10/15/09 when i heard this i cried like a baby. this reminds me of how much my dad loves me and how he's always there for me whenever i need him, even when i don't. and now that i'm leaving home i'll really miss him! to my Daddy I LOVE YOU! thanks Paul Simon. Talk about pulling at the heart string | Reviewer: Eric | 9/23/09 I always loved paul simon and discovered this song for all the wrong reasons. My sister had the misfotune of losing her son when he was 11 years of age in a very tragic accident, he had just joined the school band and had been learning El conoro Pasa so I was listening to the essential album a lot, so we played El condoro pasa at his funeral. Simply the most heartbreaking day of all our families lives. He was the only Nephew/Grnadchild in the family at that point. Over 14 months ago my beautiful girlfriend gave birth to our daughter and currently the only niece/grandchild in the house, as you can imagine she has become a vital ray of light for the entire family and especially my sister who just adores her. I rememered this song recently as how best to describe how I feel about this gorgeous little creature that I will always have the pleasure of saying is my own flesh and blood. Plus of course what she doesnt know now but will is how she has helped a broken family pick back up the pieces. Brings a good tear to my eye. wow | Reviewer: B | 7/29/09 Love this song. Just discovered it through itunes...and these reviews are touching. Meghan, doubt you'll ever read this, but i lost my dad around the same time as you last year...he was about the same age and died of the same thing. I hope you had a great wedding...I so know how you feel and I wish you the best! Makes my cry | Reviewer: Liz | 6/25/09 I love this song, the first time i heard it was when i was younger, watching the wild thornberrys and the song was playing at the end. This song reminds me of the relationship i had with my dad when i was younger, probably from a baby to about 9 years old. I lost all respect in my dad, when i found out he had been cheating on my mum since i was 4 years old. My parents got divorced shortly after. When i played this song to him, and tried to explain what i felt this song meant, he laughed at me. Laughed as not in a nice way. My dad speaks to me like hes a child, he never takes any responsibility for himself and i dont think he ever will. When i played this song to my mum, she cried. same reaction i had. Thankyou paul simon for your incredible lyrics. Inspiration | Reviewer: anonymous | 5/24/09 I am sitting hear singing along to this song as my 3-day old daughter (my first child) sleeps in my lap. Reading these reviews has me crying and is inspiring me to the best dad I can possibly be. Thank you Paul and reviewers, and I love you so much baby girl! Beautiful | Reviewer: Leigh | 5/6/09 Such an amazingly beautiful song and what touching reviews...I read them all! Meghan that was such a sad story...I hope you had a wonderful wedding. Im sure your Dad was there with you =) This song will forever remind me of my own Dad. I dont know how I would cope without him. So many fond memories as I was growing up and now continuing on into adulthood. He's always been there for me. He's always made me laugh. I couldnt have asked for a better Dad. Love you Dad. p.s. Daddy talking to man, scabbo =) xx Thank you paul Simon | Reviewer: Emilys Dad | 12/7/08 As a father of a 7 yr old girl,that I havent seen since xmas day 2007, when through some stupid life choices I let the most important thing slip away Thank you Paul. The words and sentiment could have flowed from my own pen if I had that talent, but when I close my eyes and visualise that face ,these words are my own- but both soothe a tortured heart and make one curse past actions... If only it were a duet and the daughter made her father aware his love did not go un-noticed.. To my darling Girl | Reviewer: Richard | 7/1/08 To a father has been separated from his soon to be 4 year old. I would like to thank paul simon for a wonderful song lyrics. I was a very active part of her life until her second birthday when Myself and ex wife began devorce proceeding which became nasty. Now I can only see her once a fortnight and talk to her via the phone. So when i wantede to put to words how I felt on her 4th birthday card this song came to mind. I worship my girl and feel so proud of her and it a honour to be her dad. Paul has said something that all dads would wwant to say to there little diamonds. I hope when see is older that she'll read her card and see how much i love her. Thank you Paul.x The Best thing that has ever happened to me . | Reviewer: Richard | 7/1/08 I'm a father with a soon to be 4 year old daughter The problem is that her mother and I are devorced and she will not allow me to see her on a regular basis . The only means of contact is through a child minder via the telephone and a contact centre that is only open once every two weeks. When we were living together we were so close. She taught me so many things about me that nobody could . I looked after her bathed. Played with her did her laundry cleaned her bum,We went to the park, took her too and from the child minders. And well, everything that dads do. I loved every minute of it and I will treasure those moments for the rest of my life (I'm very lucky.). When I'm with my daughter for the short amount of time that we have time stands still. It's sheer joy to look at her. And when she hugs me and says that she loves me,it warms my core being. When we speak on the phone I love to hear her develope and to hear her laugh and sing. It tears me apart to leave her or put the phone down due to our current situation with her mother. So when I wanted to put into words how I felt about her in her 4th bithday card. I remembered this song. I first heard "Father And Daughter" just before her 2nd birthday as my ex wife and I was starting devorce proceeding. It stuck with me as we were heading into dark and terrible times. I hope that when she is older that she'll read the words that Paul has so perfectly written and to know that I love her so deepley and will always love her. My girl is proudest and most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me. I will never give in. I will always fight to be a part of my daughters life. And it's an honour to be her Dad.
