Daughters By John Mayer !

i know a girl
she puts the color inside of my world
she's just like a maze
where all of the walls all continually change

I've done all i can
to stand on the steps with my heart in my hands
Now i started to think
maybe its got nothing to do with me.

so fathers be good to your daughters,
daughters will love like you do,
girls become lovers who turn into mothers
so mothers be good to your daughters too.

Oh

Oh you see that skin
its the same shes been standing in
since the day you two met
i bet i was on your mind
never ever any time

Oh yeah

so fathers be good to your daughters,
daughters will love like you do, yeah
girls become lovers who turn into mothers
so mothers be good to your daughters too.

boys you can break
find out how much they can take
boys will be strong and
boys soldier on
but boys would be gone
without warmth of a woman's good good heart

on behalf of every man
looking out for every girl
you are the god and the weight of her world
on behalf of every man
who's looking out for every girl
you are the god and you are the weight of her world

so fathers be good to your daughters,
daughters will love like you do,
girls become lovers who turn into mothers
so mothers be good to your daughters too
so mothers be good to your daughters too
so mothers be good to your daughters too


No pressure or anything on the parents in this song, eh? Still, it rings true to me. I still idolize my dad. I know he's not perfect, sure, but I still think he could get me the stars from the sky if I wanted them badly enough. Would he? Probably not. He'd probably tell me to do it myself! ;) But he's always been really good at urging me on to my goals which helped to get through the toughest moments of my life.


As I was listening to this song I submerged into deep thoughts of reminiscence.I'm not sure I have ever told him how much I appreciated him being my moral bastion. I'm sure my actions back then didn't show it. I'm pretty sure he doesn't read this blog. Still, I'm very thankful for my dad.


Thanks, Dad. I think you've given me a great example of love and of living.
