daniel couper and Bets Couper - Dear Theodosia

Dear Theodosia, what to say to you?
You have my eyes, you have your mother's name
When you came into the world, you cried
And it broke my heart

I'm dedicating every day to you
Domestic life was never quite my style
When you smile, you knock me out, I fall apart
And I thought I was so smart

You will come of age with our young nation
We'll bleed and fight for you
We'll make it right for you
And if we lay a strong enough foundation
We'll pass it on to you
We'll give the world to you
And you'll blow us all away

Someday, someday
Yeah, you'll blow us all away
Someday, someday

Oh, Philip, when you smile I am undone, my son
Look at my son
Pride is not the word I'm looking for
There is so much more inside me now

Oh, Philip, you outshine the morning sun, my son
And when you smile, I fall apart
And I thought I was so smart

My father wasn't around
(My father wasn't around)
I swear that I'll be around for you
I'll do whatever it takes
(I'll make a million mistakes)
I'll make the world safe and sound for you

You will come of age with our young nation
We'll bleed and fight for you
We'll make it right for you
And if we lay a strong enough foundation
We'll pass it on to you
We'll give the world to you
And you'll blow us all away

Someday, someday
Yeah, you'll blow us all away
Someday, someday
Yeah, you'll blow us all away
