英文乡村歌曲：保罗西蒙 Father and Daughter

If you leap awake in the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction¹ of a second you can't remember where you are
Just open your window and follow your memory upstream
To the meadow² in the mountain where we counted every falling star

I believe the 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 intuition³. It's just like going fishing
You cast your line and hope you get a bite
But you don't need to waste your time worrying about the market place
Try to help the human race struggling to survive it's harshest⁴ 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 there could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you (Repeat)
