Intro(Capo at IV): , , , x4
Delaney talks to statues
As she dances round the pool
She chases cats through roman ruins
And stomps on big toadstools
She speaks a language all her own
That I cannot discover
But she knows I love her so
When I tuck her neath the covers
CHORUS
Father, daughter
Down by the water
Shells sink, dreams float
Life s good on our boat
Verse 2 (same as 1)
Delaney draws me pictures
She finger paints the sand
We chase the dogs and hop like frogs
Then I do my bad handstand
She s growing up too fast for me
And asking lots of questions
Some I know the answers to
And some I m looking for suggestions
CHORUS 2 (same as 1)
Father, daughter
Born by the water
Surf s up, sun s down
Life in a beach town
BRIDGE
And some of the things I ve seen
Maybe she won t have to see
But there s a lot I want to pass along
That was handed down to me
Verse 3 (same)
Delaney talks to statues
As she dances round the pool
She chases cats through Roman ruins
And stomps on big toadstools
She speaks a language all her own
Just a little like her mother
And she knows I love her so
When I tuck her neath the covers
Chorus 3 (same)
Father, daughter
Down by the water
Shells sink, dreams float
Life s good on our boat
