I think i’d like to have a daughter

I think i’d like to have a daughter
In my dreams she has your eyes
I think I see a future now
made up of more than blurred outlines
in my dreams, I die on time
and not on mine, not on mine
in my dreams

I think i’d like to have a daughter
in my dreams, she has your nose
freckles dance across her face
just like yours, just like mine
just like yours, just like mine

I think that I could be a mother
nurturing, and good, and kind
a night of dreams followed by sun
and suddenly, i’m softer now
my rough edges sanded down

I think i’d like to stick around
have a life worth writing ‘bout
how beautiful this world can be
when looking through your eyes
