Everyday

Everyday I watch you grow
I'm so proud and I want you to know
Don't wanna wake up to see that you've grown
Living a life where you've never known
What you mean to me;
Everything and all that can be

A day will come when you find someone
Someone else's son
Leave the nest and start a family
A different life but never far from me
Spread your wings and find happiness
To make you safe I will do my best

As long as breath escapes my lips
No other love will ever eclipse
The way that I feel about you
You give meaning to all that I do
I'm you're shadow and after I'm gone
I'll be there for you and my love will go on

My princess that I hold dear
Age wont stop me wiping away your tear
A purpose I'll see through to the end
A role to cherish as father and friend
My blood runs thicker than water
Blessed to say you are my daughter
