A thousand miles away from you
I may as well live on the moon
The stars at night we both can see
Would you see them and think of me

Last time I held you close to me
You clung and would not let me leave
How much I wished that I could stay
And never go away

Little girl who looks like me
Your picture in my hand
Little girl I long to see
Do you understand

I feel sometimes as if you're near
You're in my song for all to hear
You're growing up while I grow old
I long to have your hand to hold
Imagine you everyday
You're here with me (at) far away
Look in your eyes and I see mine
Sincerity I find

Little girl who looks like me
Your picture in my hand
Little girl I long to see
Do you understand
And I have much to say to you
Tell me if you can
Little girl who looks like me
Do you understand

I'd make a rainbow out of hope
If all my love for you its showed
I'd catch a cloud and paint it blue
If it would prove my love for you

So turn my pages of my heart
And see what is written down inside
All of my days I'll try to be
A father in your eyes

Do you understand
