Well I want you to notice
To notice when I'm not around
I know that your eyes
See straight through me
And speak to me
Without a sound
I wanna hold you
Protect you
From all of the things
I've already endured
And I wanna show you
To show you
All the things
That this life has in store for you
I'll always love you
The way that a father
Should love his daughter
When I walked out this morning
I cried as I walked to the door
I cried about how long I'd be away from
Cried about leavin' you alone
I wanna hold you
Protect you
From all of the things
I've already endured
And I wanna show you
To show you
All the things
That this life has in store for you
And I'll always love you
The way that a father
Should love his daughter
Sweet Zoe Jane
Sweet Zoe Jane
So I wanted to say this
'Cause I wouldn't know where to begin
To explain to you what I have been through
To explain where your Daddy has been
So I wanna hold you
Protect you
From all of the things
I've already endured
And I wanna show you
Show you
All the things
That this life has in store for you
And I'll always love you
The way that a father
Should love his daughter
Sweet Zoe Jane
