Fathers and Daughters

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. --- Fathers and Daughters - Kristin Chenoweth
