You know, my son, I've waited
I've waited my whole life
And now you're here, I worry
That I won't get it right
I have a million questions
Though not a single answered one
But from this nervous starting point
You and I will run

To the top of a mountain
I'll give you the world
We'll make wishes in fountains
When the moon is a pearl
I'll stand by you for all time
Nothing you'll do
Could ever change my mind
About loving you

"Swing me, daddy" she said,
So I took her hands
Then round and round I spun her
Until we could barely stand
I have a million troubles
But she makes them disappear
When I look into my daughter's eyes
She takes me up from here

To the top of a mountain
I'll give her the world
She sets my heart bouncing
When she asks me to twirl
I'll stand by her forever
'Til the world's gone away
It just keeps getting better
Every day

Of course I want to teach you
To be good, be kind, be free
But more, I want to thank you
For giving life to me
I know that might sound backwards
But just hear me out
My life started when you were born
You make me want to shout

From the top of a mountain
To tell the whole world
No two ways about it
My boys and my girls
Are simply amazing
They're strong and they're smart
Sometimes I go crazy
At how they steal my heart
