Daddy, I want to dance with you
Like a princess with her king
Waltzing on a golden floor
Twirling under a silver moon
With music from another world
Playing the rhythm of laughter
I see the light in your eyes
Loving me like the morning sun
And there's nothing like being with you
When the world doesn't get in the way
I know you're cheering me forward
And I want to move past the fear
To find the freedom in the jump
Trusting you'll catch me if I fall
I'll measure every man against you
The one who hung my moon
And wrote my name in the stars
A soul like no other I've known
Loving a daughter like she deserves
Loving me like a queen at a ballroom dance
