It's Alright Ma by Bod Dylan.
Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child's balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon
There is no sense in trying.
Favourite Lyrics: Great lines in a song

And if you stop and think about it
You won't believe it's true
That all the love you've been giving
Has all been meant for you.

Hey MAx, that is a great song with great lyrics and sung so well. You know it's about Mike Rutherford's relationship to his father who was an officer in the Royal Navy. You can imagine how the relationship gelled: Rock star and Naval Officer in the 60's!!

Father and Daughter - Neil Simon
This song hit home the first time I heard it, I think it would mean something to all Dads of Daughters.
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
And though I cant 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 bed
Chorus:
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
You don't need to waste your time
Worryin' about the market place
Trying to help the human race
Strugglin to survive its harshest hour

Yes Jimmer.... that's why I posted it here earlier ... Welcome!"She comes out of the sun
in a silk dress running
like a watercolor in the rain"

Beautiful lyric and superb musical 'meter' and timing from one of my favorite singer/composers.
