Apple Of My Eye

She sees the plane flying overhead 

Laughs and calls it a giant butterfly 

She is bright, my little one 

Has her heart in the right place 

Blowing pixie dust my way 

Her giggles are the sweetest sound

Music to my ears, apple of my eye

Grasping dreams tightly in her palms

Ground her in reality

She is bound to end up in trouble 

Just like her mother 

I pay no heed to those careless words

They are born out of spite 

Each time I let the string tying her

Fly a little higher 

Carrying her laughter out loud in the wind 

She wants to be a dragon slayer,

A warrior when she grows up 

I blow kisses her way

There's no stopping her

And today we chase the end of the rainbow together...
