Well I want you to notice
To notice when I'm not around
To notice your eyes see straight through me
And speak to me without a sound
I wanna hold you
Protect you from all of the things I've already endured
And I wanna show you
Show you all the things that this life has in
Store for you
And I'll always love you
The way that a father should love his daughter
When I woke up this morning
I cried as I walked to the door
I cried about how long I'll be away for
I cried about leaving you all alone
I wanna hold you
Protect you from all of the things I've already endured
And I wanna show you
Show you all the things that this life has in
Store for you
And I'll always love you
The way that a father should love his daughter
Sweet Zoe Jane
Sweet Zoe Jane
So I wanted to say this
'Cause I wouldn't know where to begin
To explain to you what I have been through
To explain where your daddy has been
I wanna hold you
Protect you from all of the things I've already endured
And I wanna show you
Show you all the things that this life has in
Store for you
And I'll always love you
The way that a father should love his daughter
Sweet Zoe Jane
Sweet Zoe Jane
To notice when I'm not around
To notice your eyes see straight through me
And speak to me without a sound
I wanna hold you
Protect you from all of the things I've already endured
And I wanna show you
Show you all the things that this life has in
Store for you
And I'll always love you
The way that a father should love his daughter
When I woke up this morning
I cried as I walked to the door
I cried about how long I'll be away for
I cried about leaving you all alone
I wanna hold you
Protect you from all of the things I've already endured
And I wanna show you
Show you all the things that this life has in
Store for you
And I'll always love you
The way that a father should love his daughter
Sweet Zoe Jane
Sweet Zoe Jane
So I wanted to say this
'Cause I wouldn't know where to begin
To explain to you what I have been through
To explain where your daddy has been
I wanna hold you
Protect you from all of the things I've already endured
And I wanna show you
Show you all the things that this life has in
Store for you
And I'll always love you
The way that a father should love his daughter
Sweet Zoe Jane
Sweet Zoe Jane

This song is both beautiful and touching. It shows the way a father feels for his daughter, every time I listen to it I cry because it makes me think of my own dad and how he hasn't always been the best father because of his alcohol abuse but it makes me understand why he got better, for me and my sisters. it makes me want to hug him and thank him after all these years but I can't.
It also makes me think of me and my ex. About how we promised that when we were going to start our family, we'd do everything in our power to stay together for our kids. Now I'm a little over 5 months pregnant and he's abandoned me and the baby and listening to this song crushes me because my baby won't be able to experience that unconditional love from his/her father. :'(
