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