My Daughter's Eyes
In my daughter eyes I'm a hero,
She can't see my fears.
In my daughter's eyes I'm strong,
She doesn't seem to notice my tears.
In my daughter's eyes I'm always right,
I could never make mistakes.
In my daughter's eyes I'm a genius,
She doesn't see how much it takes.
In my daughter's eyes there's fire,
She's the true hero of this tale.
In my daughter's arms I am strong,
For my love could never fail.
I took a walk with my daughter,
Then she looked into the sky...
The word took long to form within her head,
Then she asked the simple question "Why?"
"Why do the birds fly, Daddy?"
and "Why can't we?"
Then the question that tore through my heart:
"What's wrong with me?"
"Why can't you stay Daddy?
Why must you go away?
Is it that you don't love me?
Is that why you won't stay?"
Looking into her soft round eyes,
I could see past her tears.
The questions, they hung in the air a moment;
She had made me confront my fears.
"Darling" I told her,
"You've got to know just how I feel.
I love you and I'll do all I can,
And this promise is for real."
"There's nothing wrong with you sugar.
It's not that I want to go away.
But I've got another life in another place,
And I not ready to leave it today."
I was shaking as I held her,
How I wished that I could stay.
She had those same tears in her eyes,
When I stepped on the plane to go away.
In my daughter's eyes I'm a hero.
In my daughter's eyes I'm a friend.
In my daughter's eyes the great things I do
For her could never end.
Oh, I wish I were that hero;
And I wish I were that wise.
How I wish that I could Live up to
How i look in my daughter's eyes.
