So...I was a little sentimental tonight as I listened to this new release by a newer artist named Chrisette Michele. The song is called "Your Joy" and is about her dad. I thought it was pretty tender and had to post it for all to enjoy.
If you want to listen to it, check it out on MySpace -- http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=60717400
And then go tell your dad you love him!
"Your Joy" by Chrisette Michele
Walk down the sidewalk
Staring at your feet
Wishing my steps were longer
So by your sides I could keep
Hold your hand much bigger
Never wanted mine to grow
So I could always feel perfect
Inside your palms just so
No one loves me just like you do
No one knows me just like you do
No one can compare to the one my eyes fit in yours
You will always be my father
And I will always be your joy
Lay me on your belly
Nights when mama wasn’t home
Lightning made me shiver
And you never let me feel alone
I tried to match your breathing
Beating my little heart against yours
Perfect were the nights we were sleeping
I never wanted anyone but who we are
‘Cause no one loves me just like you do
And no one knows me just like you do
No one can compare to the way my eyes fit in yours
You will always be my father
And I will always be your joy
One day he’ll come on bended knee
And ask my love away from me
And when I give my love to him
He’ll always have a place with me
One day he’ll come on bended knee
And ask my love away from me
And when I give my love to him
You’ll always have a place with me
No one loves me just like you do
No one knows me just like you do
No one can compare to the way my eyes fit in yours
You will always be my father
And I will always be your joy
