Lyrics

I like counting sheep and
I like falling asleep with you in my arms
With the TV on

But sometimes life is hard
And sometimes life can really get you down
And make you wonder why you're even here

And I can't pad the world
With the hopeful dreams of an unborn girl
But I can hold you close in my arms

And never hurt you
I'll never turn my back I won't desert you
I don't believe in that
I'll never hurt you
I'll never fade away
And I can try to lessen the blow
But its all that I can do
Cause it was written in the stars

Eyes like a winter sky
You'll grow to be strong
You'll grow to be proud and dignified
And you'll do it all on your own
And just as the rain pours and that sun will rise
You can be sure of this
You'll always be the apple of my eye
You know you always will

And when your world turns gray
And the color of your heart
It begins to fade away

I'll Hold you close in my arms

And I'll never hurt you
I'll never turn my back I won't desert you
I don't believe in that
I'll never hurt you
I'll never fade away
And I can try to lessen the blow
But its all that I can do
Cause it was written in the stars

Someday when I'm long and gone
You can use these words and silly phrases of a Father's Love song
To help you when your down
And know that I tried to lift you up
But there's something to be said for a hand to hold and someone to touch
And love too much

Oh, and you can hold this song in your heart and know
And I'll never hurt you
I'll never turn my back I won't desert you
I don't believe in that
I'll never hurt you
I'll never fade away
And I can try to lessen the blow
But its all that I can do
All I can do

Is never hurt you
Never turn my back
Never desert you
And baby that's a fact
I'll never hurt you
I'll never fade away
And I can try to lessen the blow
But its all that I can do
Cause it was all written in the stars
Yeah it was all written in the stars
Mmmmm look at them stars
