[F#] [E]
[Bm] [E]
[A] If you [C#m] leap awake in the mirror of [B] a bad [E] dream
And [C#] for a fraction of [C#m] a second you can't [B] remember where you [C#m] are
Just [A] open your [G#m] window and [B] follow your [E] memory upstream
[F#] To the meadow [E] and the mountain where we counted [B] every [C#m] fallen star
I [A] believe the [C#m] light that shines on [F#] you will [B] shine on you [E]
forever
And [F#m] though I can't [E] guarantee there's nothing scary [B] hiding under [C#m] your bed
I'm gonna stand guard [F#] like a [C#] postcard of a [E] golden retriever
[C#m] I'll never leave [E] till I leave you with a sweet [B] dream [C#m] in your head
I'm [E]
gonna watch you shine, gonna [E] watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign so you'll always know
As long as [B] one and one is [E]
two
[A] [C#m] There could never be a father who loved his daughter [C#] more than I [C#m] love you
[A]
[E] [F#] [E] Trust your intuition, it's just like going fishing
[C#m] You cast your line, [B] you hope you get a [C#m] bite
But you don't need to waste [E] your time
[F#] [E] Worrying about the marketplace, try to help the human [C#] race
[E] Struggling to survive [B] in its [C#m] harshest night
[E]
I'm gonna watch you shine, gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign so you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
[A] [C#m] There could never be a father who loved his daughter [F#] more than I [C#m] love you
