One day last week Paul stayed up really late downloading music and when we got up the next morning he said "Honey, while you're getting ready today I want you to listen to a song that I downloaded lastnight. I downloaded it for Gray and it's going to be our first dance on her wedding day." He had the IPOD all setup in the bathroom and he headed off to work. Right before I got in the shower I pressed PLAY. I just stood there and listened to each and every word... and it is the most perfect, most beautiful song I have ever heard. It so perfectly explains the love a father has for his daughter - every word, every verse is so special. We now play it in the mornings while we're getting ready to start our day.
"Im gonna watch you shine...
Gonna watch you grow...
Gonna paint a sign...
So you'll always know...
As long as one and one are two
There will never be another father who loves his daughter like I love you"
I can't wait to watch them dance to this song at her wedding - and I'll probably cry on that day just like I cry every morning when we play it on the IPOD. If you want to hear the song it's called Fathers & Daughters by Paul Simon. If you own an IPOD and a daughter - you need to download it!!
