You, you are the wonder of creation
you, you are like a light for me
shining my way through the world
making me sigh happily

Your mother, I hope she'll understand
I love her still and will always want her hand
but you my dear, oh you my dear
you're so like her, so perfect still

No flaws can ever be in you
none that I can see
I take you on my shoulders
as we look at the sea

The two of you together
two copies of perfection
are making me so happy
and life seems so much lighter

Your eyes looked at me at first
who's that big man you must've asked
mouthing your hunger to your mother
I looked and felt so glad

Oh please, my dear dear daughter
don't let me interfere
cause the day you'll be mine no longer
that day is getting near...
