    Chorus:
    I'm going to watch you shine
    Going to watch you grow
    Going to paint a sign
    So you'll always know
    As long as one and one is two
    There could never be a father
    Who loved his daughter more than I love you

      So sorry to hear. It took me years to be even a little ok after my mom passed. Just know that he would have never left this world until he knew in his heart that you were strong enough to make it through, without him here.
      I have 5 beautiful daughters, and I just recently discovered - imaginary future's version of this song. When you are ready, you should give it a listen... sometimes we all need a good deep cry to help process.
      Again, I am so sorry for your loss, the pain never goes away, but eventually it does become somewhat bearble. I wish you the very best in life!

      I’m truly sorry for your loss of your father I am looking for a song for my daughter’s wedding for her and her father to dance then I saw your post. The song is beautiful. I know it must be hard when my mother passed four years ago. It was so hard but always remember when you look up at the stars or you feel a raindrop or the sun in your face, your father is looking down on you with the smile knowing he was so proud of you and he will be watching you every day. He is your true guardian angel that’s how I feel about my mom. May God come for you with peace in your heart, knowing he’s in heaven, God bless you

      James..this is 7 months after your post, but I hope you have a great relationship with your daughter. As someone who quit drugs and drinking (and smoking) 3 months before she was born 30 years ago, the biggest advice I can offer you is to set the example. If you haven't already (and good for you if you have!) get yourself straight. I never even had so much as a bad argument EVER with my daughter. No spanking. No isolation and shaming (aka "time outs"). Read to her every day and make sure she knows you're always there for her. Encourage her to be what she wants. I recall several times when mine was your daughter's age taking her to the local pet groomer when she said she wanted to be one. Or, one time, driving her to the firehouse when she was 3 and told me she wanted to be a "fire girl." And when she started school, she wanted to do acting. My daughter grew up to be her school's Valedictorian, won a pageant over 75 other girls, had a speaking part in a movie with some very famous people (won't say who), and now is a TV news anchor in a top market. Above all...love her and always be there for her through the ups and downs. Good luck and God bless.. (Oh, one other thing, way before it was popular...I started writing letters from Dad on my daughter's birthday, recapping the previous year. Started when she was 1 year old and when she turned 18, I gave her all the letters. Yeah, it was cool. :-) )

It also makes me said to realize how my relationship with my parents and siblings has changed.. but I take comfort in knowing I have the memories and I can always look back on them fondly.

    My dad passed away a few days ago. He and I used to watch The Wild Thornberry's every Sunday morning together, and we watched the movie together as well. This was our special bonding time, and the instant I heard this song in the movie, I knew this was for us. It was going to be our father daughter dance whenever I got married. But now that will never happen. RIP Dada.

Il m’aidait pas du tout dans la vie. Aujourd’hui j’ai vingt trois ans et je ne sais pas conduire mais hier je rencontrais quelqu’un qui me disait qu’il m’aidera. Peut être c’est lui qui sera le père et l’ami qu’il me fallait il y a très longtemps.

When I was a little girl, my dad used to talk me out of nightmares (I had a very vivid imagination) in much the way Simon describes it in the song. Although this song makes me cry, especially with the amazing guitar riff, I know that my husband will be every bit the amazing father to her as mine was to me.

I can't believe, having so many Paul Simon cds on my library, I never heard this. First time through I said this is it! So many things he sings about we did! Took her to the field to watch meteor showers, fishing, adventures... Perfect. The wedding is going to be half of the 100 people we originally expected due to Covid 19 but I'll be there!

    This song makes me feel kinda depressed, because I was never that close to my dad. It wasn't that he was a terrible father, it's just he's always very distant and never really learned how to be a parent or develop a bond or even talk to me. But I still think it's a very sweet song, and it's nice to know that a lot of girls and women find it more sentimental and relatable than I do! :)

      My father acts the same way towards me. I think he would rather give me presents than his presence.. Regardless I imagine both our dad's love us and always will. Maybe we both just need to be more confident and asserting towards our relationships between our father's. Just understand that there are people out there like you who deal with the same situations.

My adoptive dad never said he loved me until I was 15. And I’ve never felt the love shown in this song. I will make sure my future daughter has a father with this much love. If not I’ll find a way to make her feel the equal amount of love

    Most people think this song is out of place in this film. I may be wrong, but I disagree. Look at the theatrical poster. It shows Eliza and Nigel sitting next to each other watching the sun set.

    I'm not my dad's daughter but I come back to this song a lot. He's a priest and we're both nerds. Once he gave a sermon about this song and King Lear; and spent a good thirty minutes talking specifically about the phrasing of 'there could never be a father who loved his daughter more than I love you' and how there's an honesty in that which is abandoned in superlative declarations of love. It's not 'could never be a father who loved his daughter as much as I love you,' it's 'more than.' There's something true in simply saying 'as much love as there is in this world for me to give, I give to you.' Not claiming to love more fiercely than any love ever felt, which makes love a contest to be won against outsiders rather than a devotion to another, but saying 'I love you as much as I can,' and the real power in that kind of truth.

    My dad passed away suddenly from a massive heart attack, and he was the healthiest and most loving father/person. In the years since his death, I’ve been searching for answers. I’ve looked for him in nature, in life and yet struggle because there’s no sign of him.
    However, just in the last couple days, I’ve felt him near. What’s more, this song which I had never heard until today came on the radio. This shocked me since I’m a Paul Simon fan. My dad was also a fan, and now I guess I’ll never know if he ever heard this song.
    Love you Daddy. Your message is heard loud and clear. I know you’re still near, watching over us and someday we’ll see each other again.
    With infinite love,
    Your Daughter 🙏💜😞😢
