Fathers and Daughters (Live)

Well you laughed and told me you really wanted a boy

But you cried first time you held me said you never felt such joy

That's fathers and daughters

And when you took the training wheels right off my bike

That's the first time I could feel my wings

'Cause you taught me how to fly

That's fathers and daughters

When I was a pink ballerina dancing in the kitchen

You held out your hand so I could try my luck at spinning

The world keeps turning always through it all

You're still there to catch me

I'm still learning how to fall

That's fathers, daughters

When you let me go out on my first date

You waited up and you didn't tell Mom

Even tho' I got home late

That's fathers

And one day when that boy made my heart break

You told me that's why God made tears

To wash the hurt away

Then I'm still that pink ballerina

Dancing in the kitchen

You hold out your hand

I go right back to the beginning

The world keeps turning always through it all

You're still there to catch me

I'm still learning how to fall

That fathers, daughters

Like ice cubes and water

You grow up and discover

No one ever loves each other

Like fathers and daughters
