How you said you knew your father would look to find
You sitting by the parkway just before your flight
Before there was a cell phone he found you fine
I always picture this to be in black and white
Images recapturing a simple time
Before the world had lost her way into the night
Your hands are on my shoulders
'Cause your daughter is now older
I feel your heart is beating right through her hands
Giving all the love I couldn't understand
As you were gone before I ever had a chance
We're separated by the present and the past
I feel as if I felt your grace just for a dance
A second chance to understand the life you had
Your hands are on my shoulders
'Cause your daughter is now older
Your hands are on my shoulders
'Cause your daughter is now older
