Fathers & Daughters

So... Paul got an IPOD for Christmas. I know.. I know.. we're a little behind the times. He's been asking for one for years and I was so happy to give it to him. Besides, I feel like it's a gift we can both enjoy. Of course those of you that have IPOD's must remember how time consuming it is. He has spent hours downloading music and just as much time shopping for all of the accessories. I began to wonder if I got myself into something that could forever change "our time" together. That was until the other day!!
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. Here are the words to the chorus
"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"
These two share such an amazing relationship!! She loves her Daddy so much and I fall more and more in love with him everyday because of the amazing father he is!
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!!
