She ran down from the upstairs
|
She burst into the room
|
Said: "Dad,I'm playin' dinosaurs
|
"Do you wanna be one too?"
|
I set my grown-up world aside
|
An said: "I'll be right there"
|
She stopped to ask this question
|
When we were halfway up the stairs
|
|
"How much do you love me?"
|
"How much do you really care?"
|
I touched heart,spread my wings,and said:
|
"All the way to there"
|
|
She called me from a party late
|
One night,her junior year
|
And bravely gave an address
|
Through the stories and the tears
|
She was sittin' on the porch steps
|
As I pulled up to the curb
|
I could see the question in her eyes
|
She asked without a word
|
|
"How much do you love me?"
|
"How much do you really care?"
|
I touched heart,spread my wings,and said:
|
"All the way to there"
|
|
It's the simple things that matter most
|
In everybod's life
|
Sometimes juest knowin' that you're really loved
|
Makes everything all right
|
|
Children grow and years go by
|
Moms and dads get grey
|
Little girl's get married
|
And give their dinosaurs away
|
They'll live their grown up lives and call
|
Their daddies now and then
|
And from a thousand miles away
|
I'll hear her on the stairs again
|
|
"How much do you love me?"
|
"How much do you really care?"
|
I touched heart,spread my wings,and said:
|
"All the way to there"
|
|
We'll touch our hearts,spread our arms and say:
|
All the way to there
|
