She ran down from the upstairs

She burst into the room

Said: "Dad,I'm playin' dinosaurs

"Do you wanna be one too?"

I set my grown-up world aside

An said: "I'll be right there"

She stopped to ask this question

When we were halfway up the stairs



"How much do you love me?"

"How much do you really care?"

I touched heart,spread my wings,and said:

"All the way to there"



She called me from a party late

One night,her junior year

And bravely gave an address

Through the stories and the tears

She was sittin' on the porch steps

As I pulled up to the curb

I could see the question in her eyes

She asked without a word



"How much do you love me?"

"How much do you really care?"

I touched heart,spread my wings,and said:

"All the way to there"



It's the simple things that matter most

In everybod's life

Sometimes juest knowin' that you're really loved

Makes everything all right



Children grow and years go by

Moms and dads get grey

Little girl's get married

And give their dinosaurs away

They'll live their grown up lives and call

Their daddies now and then

And from a thousand miles away

I'll hear her on the stairs again



"How much do you love me?"

"How much do you really care?"

I touched heart,spread my wings,and said:

"All the way to there"



We'll touch our hearts,spread our arms and say:

All the way to there
