Album: Some Lessons Learned (2011)

  • Well you laughed and told me you really wanted a boy
    But you cried first time you held me said you never felt such joy
    That's fathers and daughters

    And when you took the training wheels right off my bike
    That's the first time I could feel my wings
    'Cause you taught me how to fly
    That's fathers and daughters

    When I was a pink ballerina dancing in the kitchen
    You held out your hand so I could try my luck at spinning
    The world keeps turning always through it all
    You're still there to catch me
    I'm still learning how to fall
    That's fathers, daughters

    When you let me go out on my first date
    You waited up and you didn't tell Mom
    Even tho' I got home late
    That's fathers

    And one day when that boy made my heart break
    You told me that's why God made tears
    To wash the hurt away

    Then I'm still that pink ballerina
    Dancing in the kitchen
    You hold out your hand
    I go right back to the beginning
    The world keeps turning always through it all
    You're still there to catch me
    I'm still learning how to fall
    That fathers, daughters

    Like ice cubes and water
    You grow up and discover
    No one ever loves each other
    Like fathers and daughters. Writer/s: JODI MARR, TOM DOUGLAS
