Daddy, this is next time, And Mama said I could.Sitting in the front seat riding down town,For an ice cream come, I'd wrap him around,My little finger tighter than my baby curls.Hey, you can make a tear go a long, long way,When you're Daddy's little girl. Walking down the aisle, With my eyes on Mr. Right. My bouquet was shaking, But Daddy held on tight.Taking those last steps, Daddy and me,From the child to the woman I'd be.With a diamond on my finger,And my Mama's string of pearls.He gave me away, 'cause I couldn't stay,Daddy's little girl. Well he tightened my bike chain from seven to thirteen. Taught me drive when I was a wild thing. Preached to me "pray", while I made some mistakes, That I wouldn't have made if I'd have done it his way.Now he hugs me when he sees me,We talk about the past.He tries to give me money,I try to give it back.He's a book of advice, more than I need.The love in his eyes is saying to me: "Let me help you while I can, "While I'm still in this world."

Spinning, laughing, dancing toher favorite songA little girl with nothing wrongIs all alone
Eyes wide openAlways hoping for the sunAnd she'll sing her song to anyonethat comes along
Fragile as a leaf in autumnJust fallin' to the groundWithout a sound
Crooked little smile on her faceTells a tale of graceThat's all her own
Spinning, laughing, dancing toher favorite songA little girl with nothing wrongAnd she's all alone
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,May you never take one single breath for granted,God forbid love ever leave you empty handed,I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....i hope you dance.
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,Never settle for the path of least resistanceLivin’ might mean takin’ chances but they’re worth takin’,Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’,Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,When you come close to sellin’ out reconsider,Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....i hope you dance.I hope you dance....i hope you dance.(time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
Dance....i hope you dance.I hope you dance....i hope you dance.I hope you dance....i hope you dance..(time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us alongTell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone
I know a girlShe puts the color inside of my worldShe's just like a mazeWhere all of the walls all continually changeAnd I've done all I canTo stand on her steps with my heart in my handsNow I'm starting to seeMaybe it's got nothing to do with me
Fathers be good to your daughtersDaughters will love like you doGirls become lovers who turn into mothersSo mothers be good to your daughters too
Oh, you see that skin?It's the same she's been standing inSince the day she saw him walking awayNow she's leftCleaning up the mess he made
Boys, you can breakYou'll find out how much they can takeBoys will be strongAnd boys soldier onBut boys would be gone without warmth from A woman's good, good heart
On behalf of every manLooking out for every girlYou are the god and the weight of her world
So fathers be good to your daughtersDaughters will love like you doGirls become lovers who turn into mothersSo mothers be good to your daughters, tooSo mothers be good to your daughters, tooSo mothers be good to your daughters, too

Tears In Heaven
Would you know my nameif I saw you in heaven ?Would you feel the sameif I saw you in heaven ?I must be strong and carry on.'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven.Would you hold my handIf I saw you in heaven ?I'll find my way through night and day.'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.Time can bring you down
time can bend your knees.Time can break your heart
have you begging please.
Begging please...
Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure.And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven.Would you know my nameif I saw you in heaven ?Would you feel the sameif I saw you in heaven ?I must be strong and carry on.'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven.
"With Arms Wide Open"
Well I just heard the news todayIt seems my life is going to changeI closed my eyes, begin to prayThen tears of joy stream down my face
With arms wide openUnder the sunlightWelcome to this placeI'll show you everythingWith arms wide openWith arms wide open
Well I don't know if I'm readyTo be the man I have to beI'll take a breath, I'll take her by my sideWe stand in awe, we've created life
With arms wide openUnder the sunlightWelcome to this placeI'll show you everythingWith arms wide openNow everything has changedI'll show you loveI'll show you everythingWith arms wide openWith arms wide openI'll show you everything ...oh yeahWith arms wide open..wide open
[Guitar Break]
If I had just one wishOnly one demandI hope he's not like meI hope he understandsThat he can take this lifeAnd hold it by the handAnd he can greet the worldWith arms wide open...
With arms wide openUnder the sunlightWelcome to this placeI'll show you everythingWith arms wide openNow everything has changedI'll show you loveI'll show you everythingWith arms wide openWith arms wide openI'll show you everything..oh yeahWith arms wide open....wide open
Every generationBlames the one beforeAnd all of their frustrationsCome beating on your door
I know that I’m a prisonerTo all my father held so dearI know that I’m a hostageTo all his hopes and fearsI just wish I could have told him in the living years
Crumpled bits of paperFilled with imperfect thoughtStilted conversationsI’m afraid that’s all we’ve got
You say you just don’t see itHe says it’s perfect senseYou just can’t get agreementIn this present tenseWe all talk a different languageTalking in defence
Say it loud, say it clearYou can listen as well as you hearIt’s too late when we dieTo admit we don’t see eye to eye
So we open up a quarrelBetween the present and the pastWe only sacrifice the futureIt’s the bitterness that lasts
So don’t yield to the fortunesYou sometimes see as fateIt may have a new perspectiveOn a different dayAnd if you don’t give up, and don’t give inYou may just be o.k.
I wasn’t there that morningWhen my father passed awayI didn’t get to tell himAll the things I had to say
I think I caught his spiritLater that same yearI’m sure I heard his echoIn my baby’s new born tearsI just wish I could have told him in the living years
' Daddy's Little Girl',

Oh sister, don't be afraid of meI won't be nailing you down in the nurseryJust like the rest of them didWith those watery, wandering fingers of spitThat were supposed to be glorious and fine.
Oh sister won't you believe in meI only wanted to be hard on your familyHere with you now in this silly infirmaryYour mother makes frantic and drunk callsFrom Germany all of the time.
Oh sister, sweet brown and beulaheryAnd milk from your blisters on your grandmother's jewelryThere in the parlor all naked in front of meWatching the lights from the cracksMaking archery animal designs.
Rose Wallace Goldeline just moves her mouth over anything Fleshy free and flowering with oranges out in the openBut don't you waste your sins againShe don't need you or won't fnck your friends And you, you're an American, so important boiling over
To prove that she must still existshe moves herself about her fist and never ever gives a sh!tabout all those words you're wasting again Some pretty bright and bubbly wondrous dreamyou'd like to kill and clean And claim her as your ownBut don't you worry All those dainty and dirty emotionsjust go away and fade out on their own
Sister, now that we're grieving Our fingers will falterOur lungs will be leaking All over each other and without even speakingWe'll know that it's over and smile and go greeting Whatever comes next
And oh sister You're getting married with some angry twister That you'll have to carry homedrunk every evening from the cemetery And if he makes it back half alive you canbury him under your sheets
And oh sisternow that you're leaving I can not imagine there is any meaningforgetting you ever could once had the feeling that made you keep onAnd pretend you were breathing of all of this world
In an age of empty ringsI don't want to be your flingI don't even want to know youand Rose Wallace Goldelinedon't you ever die on meall the way it goes and flows.
I want to hold youProtect you from all of the thingsI've already enduredAnd I want to show youShow you all the thingsThat this life has in store for youIll always love youThe way that a fatherShould love his daughter
When I walked out this morningI cried as I walked to the doorI cried about how long Id be away forI cried about leaving you all alone
Sweet Zoe JaneSweet Zoe Jane
So I wanted to say thisCause I wouldn't know where to beginTo explain to you what I've been throughTo explain where your daddy has been
So I want to hold youProtect you from all of the thingsI've already enduredAnd I want to show youShow you all the thingsThat this life has in store for youIll always love youThe way that a fatherShould love his daughter
