When a heart is held captive by a daughter, or even a son, it never can be set free nor wish to be.

So, there I am within her spell

She breathes her words, I come alive

Her name to give, I’ll never tell

But without her near, I can’t survive

She holds the power of my heart

Her gentle smile and her lovely ways

So, from her then, I’ll never part

I am entranced for eternal days

So, I’m then captive to her whiles

No other way I’d choose to be

To know what lies behind her smiles

Is how my daughter sets me free
