Your Joy

Walked down the sidewalk
 Staring at your feet
 Wishing my steps were longer
 So by your sides I could keep
 Hold your hand much bigger
 Never wanted mine to grow
 So I could always feel perfect
 Inside your palms just so
 No one loves me just like you do
 No one knows me just like you do
 No one can compare to way my eyes fit in yours
 You'll always be my father
 And I'll always be your joy
 Laid me on your belly
 Nights when mama wasn't home
 Lightning made me shiver
 And you never let me feel alone
 I tried to match your breathing
 Beating my little heart against yours
 Perfect were the nights we were sleeping
 I never want to end what we are
 'Cause No one loves me just like you do
 And no one knows me just like you do
 No one can compare to the way my eyes fit in yours
 You'll always be my father
 And I'll always be your joy
 One day he'll come on bended knee
 And ask my love away from thee
 And when I give my love to him
 He'll always have a place within
 One day he'll come on bended knee
 And ask my love away from thee
 And when I give my love to him
 He'll always have a place within
 No one loves me just like you do
 No one knows me just like you do
 No one can compare to the way my eyes fit in yours
 You'll always be my father
 And I'll always be your joy.
