Lyrics

WORDS THAT WE HAD SPOKEN
IF ONLY IN OUR HEADS.
HEARTS THAT WERE NOT BROKEN
JUST FELT THAT WAY INSTEAD.
BUT TEARFUL EYES, A TENDER KISS,
AND HUGS THAT WOULDN'T LET GO
CRIED ALOUD A SPECIAL LOVE
WE'D FINALLY COME TO KNOW.

IT'S HARD TO KNOW HOW CLOSE WE ARE
WHEN WE'RE SO FAR AWAY.
I NEVER THOUGHT I'D MISS YOU SO,
IT SURPRISES ME TO SAY.
SO LET YOUR FEELINGS BE YOUR GUIDE
AND-YOUR HEART WILL NOT BE SAD.
YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY DAUGHTER AND
I'LL ALWAYS BE YOUR DAD.

YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU LOVED ME
I SURELY HOPE IT'S TRUE.
FOR SOMEONE SO UNCERTAIN,
COULD THIS HAVE COME FROM YOU?
WE SHARED A MAGIC MOMENT
HOLDING CLOSE THAT WAY.
CHOKING ON EMOTION,
THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD SAY.

IT'S HARD TO KNOW HOW CLOSE WE ARE
WHEN WE'RE SO FAR AWAY.
I THINK ABOUT YOU ALWAYS
AND YOUR SMILE STILL MAKES MY DAY.
SO BE THE BEST AT WHAT YOU DO
AND REMEMBER WHAT WE HAD.
YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY DAUGHTER AND
I'LL ALWAYS BE YOUR DAD.

WE'LL BE MUCH OLDER BY
THE NEXT TIME THAT WE MEET.
JUST SEEING YOU AGAIN
WILL MAKE MY LIFE COMPLETE.

IT'S HARD TO KNOW HOW CLOSE WE ARE
WHEN WE'RE SO FAR AWAY.
I THINK ABOUT YOU ALWAYS AND
YOUR SMILE STILL MAKES MY DAY.
THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORY OF
THE GOOD TIMES THAT WE HAD.
YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY DAUGHTER AND
I'LL ALWAYS BE YOUR DAD.
I'LL ALWAYS BE YOUR DAD.
