Father and Daughter
If you leap awake
in the mirror of a bad dream.
and for a fraction of a second
you can't remember where you are
just open your window
and follow your memory upstream.
To the meadow in the mountain
where we counted every falling star.
I believe a light that shines on you
will shine on you forever (forever).
And though I can´t guarantee
theres nothing scary hiding under your bed,
I'm gonna stand guard like a postcard
at the Golden Retriever.
And never leave till i leave you
with a sweet dream in your bed.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 wooo.
There could never be a father who loved
his daughter more than i love you.Trust your intuition.
It's just like goin' fishin'.
You cast your line and hope you get a bite.
But you don't need to waste your time
worryin' about the marketplace,
trying to help the human race
strugglin to survive its harshest night.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 wooo.
There could never be a father who loved
his daughter more than i love you.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 wooo.
there could never be a father who loved
his daughter more than i love you.Guitarras electrica, Acústica y Nylon String: Paul Simon

Disco: The Wild Thornberrys Movie Soundtrack y Surprise
Comentarios: Canción escrita originalmente para la pelicula de animación "The Wild Thornberrys Movie" de 2002. La canción estuvo nominada al Globo de Oro y al Oscar a la mejor canción original. U2 por el tema de "Gansters de Nueva York" en un caso y el rapero Eminem por su cancion para "8 millas" fueron los ganadores.
A pesas de ser una canción dedicada a su hija Lulu (en el momento de escribirla tenia 7 años), es otro de sus hijos, Adrian (10 años por entonces), quien hace las coros animado por su padre tras escucharle cantar mientras conducia.
La versión del Surprise es una diferente mezcla de la misma grabación.
