Written for my daughter, Dana

Lyrics

She’s so small, she’s so soft
And my love for her grows stronger every day
She’s so smart, she’s so funny
And I marvel at the things she says

I’ve been loving you for such a long time
I’ve run out of ways to tell you how I feel long ago

When I look into your eyes
I see the world that’s waiting there for you
Filled with joy, laced with pain
I’ll do everything and more to see you through

I’ve been loving you for such a long time
I’ve run out of ways to tell you how I feel long ago

Now I can’t always be there with you
Some steps we have to take all on our own
Look in your heart, dear; I’m living in there
I’m going to move right in and make myself at home

I’ve been loving you for such a long time
I’ve run out of ways to tell you how I feel long ago
I’ve been loving you for such a long time
