A Daughter's Gift (Molly's Song) Lyrics

Looking at pictures of Molly

While morning's Sun's shining through

I hold them and tremble

Those feelings aren't new

I'd live on my knees

To make sure she's alright

I'll do what I must

Just to keep her in sight

Her smile is a starburst

That conquers my night

And God knows that I know

How much I need her light

Memories of Molly

Deep in my heart

If I should ever fail her

It would tear me apart

How could any father

Ever be close to enough

Always to be there

In a world so damn tough

No man ever lived

Who never could fall

Everyone stumbles,

Sometimes I feel so damn small

It's a mercy, it's a mercy,

It's only just God's mercy she doesn't see that, she doesn't see that, she doesn't see that at all.

Thinking of Molly

I'm blessed to recall

My own parents' love

Still helping as I try to stand tall

My job's to be constant

Whatever life hands us out

I'll be happy to face

Whatever time brings about

So she feels my echo

So it's always around

To add just a little

When she's feeling down

I owe Molly so much

For all that she is

The warmth of her smile

The light that it gives

Wherever I wander

When life gets me down

Just the thought of her lifts me

Ten feet up off the ground

I hope she hears my echo

I hope its always around

To add just a little

When she's feeling down

All good men with a daughter

Know where I'm coming from

If they've seen her grow up

And the woman she's become

Wherever I wander

When life gets me down

Just the thought of her lifts me

Ten feet up off the ground
