Daughter Of My Dreams - Alternate Take

Jesse I’ve been chasing shadows in my mind

The years have gone but the hurt’s not far behind

I see your face in every sunrise

But I’ve been too afraid to meet your eyes

I built walls out of silence and shame

Now I’m breaking them down just to call your name

Daughter of my dreams my heart still knows your tune

I’d give the stars to heal what I’ve left bruised

If I could hold your hand if you’d give me the chance

I’d rewrite the past if I knew how to dance

I’ve got pictures but they only tell half the truth

A little girl in pigtails now a woman in bloom

I missed the firsts the laughs the tears

But I’m here now with all these years

The silence is heavy but it’s not too late

I’m reaching for you before it’s fate

Daughter of my dreams my heart still knows your tune

I’d give the stars to heal what I’ve left bruised

If I could hold your hand if you’d give me the chance

I’d rewrite the past if I knew how to dance
