Daughter

Well it's you and it's me
 Me with a drink in my hand
 The ice is tinkling like a wind chime
 And late afternoon settles over the land
 And you're talking about things
 Interesting just slightly
 And things that matter too much
 To say any way but lightly
 Did you know you're so beautiful
 On the edge of summer
 That years from now
 I'll cry to remember
 How very close you were
 Knowing this will I reach for you
 Knowing this will I reach for you
 The way you want me to
 Well it's time to be wise
 Wise in the ways of the heart
 To come out from under the covers
 This voluntary state of apart
 From the faces
 Oasis
 In this Sahara of sorrow
 These graces that hold me
 It's from you that I borrow
 Did you know you're so beautiful
 On the edge of summer
 That years from now
 I'll cry to remember
 How very close you were
 Knowing this will I reach for you
 Knowing this will I reach for you
 The way you want me to
