Your Joy

Walked down the sidewalk
Starin' at your feet
Wishin' my steps were longer
So by your sides I could keepHold your hand much bigger
Never wanted mine to grow
So I could always feel perfect
Inside your palms just soNo 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 yoursYou'll always be my father
And I'll always be your joyLaid me on your belly
Nights when mama wasn't home
Lightning had made me shiver
And you never let me feel aloneI tried to match your breathing
Beating my little heart against yours
Perfect were the nights, we were sleepin'
I never wanna 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 yoursYou'll always be my father
And I'll always be your joyOne 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 withinOne 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 withinNo 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 yoursYou'll always be my father
And I'll always be your joy
