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
