Well i want you to notice
To notice when i'm not around
And i know that your eyes see straight through me
And speak to me without a sound

I want to hold you
Protect you from all of the things I've already endured
I want to show you
Show you all the things that this life has in store for you
I'll always love you
The way that a father should love his daughter

When i walked out this morning
I cried as i walked to the door
I cried about how long i'd be away for
I cried about leaving you all alone

I want to hold you
Protect you from all of the things I've already endured
I want to show you
Show you all the things that this life has in store for you
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
Cuz i wouldn't know where to begin
To explain to you what i have been through
To explain where your daddy has been

I want to hold you
Protect you from all of the things I've already endured
I want to show you
Show you all the things that this life has in store for you
I'll always love you
The way that a father should love his daughter

Sweet zoe jane,
Sweet zoe jane
