In My Daughters Eyes

When I was five You went to live with your brother I never asked why You couldn't stay here with me and my mother The touching of temples was All we shared Not that it mattered For it showed me you cared I wish just once that we'd said I love you But instead we'd hide behind our pride You are the dimple on my smiling cheek You are the accent when I start to speak You are the house that you've helped me to buy You are the glint in my daughters eyes In my daughters' In my daughters' eyes In my daughters' In my daughters' eyes Who am I? I'm the man you helped me discover Your love runs through me Like a river that's broken the levee I still wish that we'd said I love you And that we'd had just a little more time You are the dimple on my smiling cheek You are the accent when I start to speak You are the house that you helped me to buy You are the glint in my daughters eyes In my daughters' In my daughters' eyes How do I tell them Where you are? How do I convey That you're near and not far As they ask to look at pictures on the wall I simply say You are the dimple on my smiling cheek You are the accent when I start to speak You are the house that you've helped me to buy You are the glint in my daughters' You are the dimple on my smiling cheek You are the accent when I start to speak You are the house that you've helped me to buy You are the glint in my daughters eyes In my daughters' In my daughters' eyes In my daughters' In my daughters' eyes In my daughters' In my daughters' eyes In my daughters' In my daughters' eyes
