And I look up into the sky,
you know I think I can see
I know you'll hold her soon
there's a picture on the mantle
Of a man and his wife, they're smiling
In a portrait of the ageless heart
I know you're lost now here, so alone
But by the southern moon,
And when you close your eyes,
you're wishing for evermore
No man out of nowhere now
we're with you on your own
And oh, Daddy, no breath carries the air
in the darkness of night,
and no one's eyes to welcome you to
every new day in its morning light.
Oh, Daddy, now you find yourself here
and when you close your eyes
you're wishing forevermore
no man out of nowhere now
we're with you on your own
I can't say that I can sing her song as well
Or bring back the half of your heart
I will listen to the stories that you tell
For you, I'll be here till
And oh daddy, on this roof
there's a stillness that encircles me
It feels as though I'm close to a heaven
If only I knew what a heaven might be
you'll soon be free from life's cocoon
And when you close your eyes,
you're wishing forevermore
nowhere now to open them for
we're with you on your own
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la la la
I know you'll hold her soon
