My daughter is only 13 years old so the situation in this song has not actually arisen yet but I tried to imagine how the conversation will go when we eventually do have it. (No it is not “the conversation”).

My daughter came home to stay last night
I sat there on her bed
We talked and laughed till late last night
I've met someone she said
He's funny and smart and kind she said
His eyes are soft as fleece
His laugh is pure as pie she said
His words are twice as sweet
But how do you know mum
How do you know
I said Your smile is in his eyes
Your name is on his lips
Your soul is on the line
And you know that you are loved
No matter what
My mind goes back to when I knew
There's nothing could go wrong
The world was full that's when I knew
My choices were all gone
That's how I knew child
I said Your smile is in his eyes
Your name is on his lips
Your soul is on the line
And you know that you are loved
No matter what
If you can see ten years from now
and he's right there by your side
as bright as light as sure as stars
your smile is in his eyes
Your smile is in his eyes
Your name is on his lips
Your soul is on the line
And you know that you are loved
No matter what
