Song To My Father Lyrics

Song To My Father

flashes of warmth 
golden summers 
sparkling winters  
 
walking with Daddy on Sundays 
hand in hand - heart in heart 
hand in hand - heart in heart  
 
lift me up on the pony again, Daddy 
don`t leave me alone in the dark 
swing me on your leg again  
 
Daddy - why did they take the horse to the factory? 
dry your tears and you can watch t.v. 
with your Mommy and me 
between Mommy and me  
 
I know it`s late, Daddy 
but I can`t get to sleep 
I`m sorry that I was so bad today 
I`m sorry that I made you so mad today 
come tuck me in again, okay  
 
bubbles and squeak? 
I hear you Daddy 
Daddy? I want to be your little girl again  
 
in the linden tree 
in the apple tree 
my book, my blue dog and me 
watching the leaves making shadows 
on the next page  
 
well, Daddy - I`m a big girl now 
and do you love me as much? 
I can tie my own shoelaces now 
but I still need you 
I know a lot more answers now 
but I still need you 
I can stand on my own feet now 
but I still love you  
 
and Daddy... 
I want to be your little girl again
