A E B E
delaney talks to statues

as she dances ’round the pool

and stomps on big toadstools

she speaks a language all her own
A E B E
that i cannot discover
A E B E
but she knows i love her so
A E B E
when i tuck her ’neath the covers

chorus
A E B E
father , daughter
A E B E
down by the water
A E B E
shells sink , dreams float
A E B E
life’s good on our boat

verse 2 ( same as 1 )
delaney draws me pictures
she finger paints the sand
we chase the dogs and hop like frogs
then i do my bad handstand
she’s growing up too fast for me
and asking lots of questions
some i know the answers to
and some i’m looking for suggestions

chorus 2 ( same as 1 )
father , daughter
born by the water
surf’s up , sun’s down
life in a beach town

bridge
C#m G#m
and some of the things i’ve seen
Bm A
maybe she won’t have to see
C#m G#m
but there’s a lot i want to pass along
D A
that was handed down to me

verse 3 ( same )
delaney talks to statues
as she dances ’round the pool
she chases cats through roman ruins
and stomps on big toadstools
she speaks a language all her own
just a little like her mother
and she knows i love her so
when i tuck her ’neath the covers

chorus 3 ( same )
father , daughter
down by the water
shells sink , dreams float
life’s good on our boat
