Snowflake
Eternal Love: A Father's Reflection on Life and Family
Lyrics
She gives me the cheek when I go to kiss her
Rejection or avoidance when trying to show affection.
Then calls and begs me to come home
Despite rejection, she later expresses a desire for him to return.
When she laughs she's like a snowflake
Her laughter is delicate and unique, like a snowflake.
And she can make my cry just thinking
Reflecting on emotional pain caused by thoughts of her.
Just thinking about her now
The impact of just thinking about her is emotionally overwhelming.
And I'll love you
Expressing enduring love.
I will love you forever
Commitment to love her continuously.
And I'll like you
Expressing a lasting fondness for her.
I will like you for always
Commitment to liking her continuously.
As long as I'm alive you'll be my baby
Promise to care for her throughout his life.
Imagine what she'll be like tomorrow
Imagining her future as an independent woman.
A woman out on her own
Envisioning her as an adult navigating life on her own.
And dreaming about her own 'someday'
Dreaming about her aspirations for the future.
And she can make me cry just thinking
Recalling the emotional impact of thinking about her past self.
Just thinking about her then
Reflecting on the emotional impact of memories about her.
And I'll love her
Expressing enduring love for her.
I will love her forever
Commitment to love her continuously.
And I'll like her
Expressing a lasting fondness for her.
I will like her for always
Commitment to liking her continuously.
As long as I'm alive she'll be my baby
Promise to care for her throughout his life.
When she's gone and on her own
Imagining her independent life and potential challenges.
And life gets in the way
Anticipating life's obstacles when she is on her own.
God, I hope she'll think about these days
Hoping she remembers and values these moments in the future.
And she'll call me
Hopeful expectation of receiving a call from her.
Yeah, she'll call me
Anticipation of her reaching out to him.
And she'll say
Anticipation of her expressing love for him.
Dad, I love you
Anticipating her expression of enduring love as a grown-up.
I will love you forever
Commitment to love her continuously as a father.
And I'll like you
Expressing a lasting fondness for her.
I will like you for always
Commitment to liking her continuously.
As long as I'm alive I'll be your baby
Promise to care for her throughout his life.
She gives me a cheek when I go to kiss her
Rejection or avoidance when trying to show affection (repeated).
Calls and begs me to come home
Despite rejection, she later expresses a desire for him to return (repeated).
And that's enough to make me happy
Expressing contentment with the thought of her wanting him back.
It's the sweetest love I've ever known
Describing the profound and sweet love experienced.
And I'll love you, I will love you forever
Reiteration of enduring love.
And I'll like you, I will like you for always
Reiteration of lasting fondness for her.
As long as I'm alive you'll be my baby
Promise to care for her throughout his life (repeated).
