Song for a daughter

Liam C Ryan

Did one of the Sand,s family record a song about their daughter. About a year or more ago I recall hearing a lovely song about a daughter which I would like to learn for my own daughters wedding next April .I would be delighted if I could find out who recorded the song and get the lyrics of it .

Hi Liam, I'm not familiar with the track you mentioned, have you heard this one?



PAUL SIMON "Father and Daughter"

"If you leap awake in the middle 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
And though I can't guarantee there's nothing scary hiding under your bed
I'm gonna stand guard like a postcard of a Golden Retriever
And never leave 'till I leave you with a sweet dream in your head

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
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you

Trust your intuition
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 market place
Try to help the human race
Struggling to survive it's harshest light
