[Verse 1]
Early morning I watch you sleep
Not everyone is as lucky as me
I kiss your forehead before I leave
Soon you'll be old and forget how it feels
To be young and in love
For the very first time build our home of our own
Have a child learn what it's like
When the sun is beginning to rise

[Chorus]
Oh, how I hope that if we have a daughter
She'll grow up to be like you
If she sometimes takes after her father
That would be okay too

[Verse 2]
We could move to another country
Grow our own food, get a couple of sheep
Or a place in maybe New York City
Right by the Statue of Liberty
Cause I know I'll be fine
Just as long as I've got you right here by my side
There's no fear in my eyes
So take me wherever you like
[Chorus]
And oh, how I hope that if we have a daughter
She'll grow up to be like you
And if she sometimes takes after her father
That would be okay too
