The smartest girl I know
is just a girl, you know
but when she calls me, I go
'cause she lights my world

We jump around on strawberry fields
I carry her, give her a kiss
but then, above us, comes a mist
That's future... that's what it is

I want her to be happy
I want her to live free
We both have so much to learn
Why can't you learn with me?

I want her to be happy
I want her to live free
We both have so much to learn
Why can't you learn with me?

So then, at night, I realize
My little one had passed me by
I breathe deeply and, sincerely, smile
and try to hold the tears in my eyes

I want her to be happy
I want her to live free
We both have so much to learn
Why can't you learn with me?

I want her to be happy
I want her to live free
We both have so much to learn
Why can't you learn?

I want her to be happy
I want her to live free
We both have so much to learn
Why can't you learn with me?

I want you to be happy
So I'm gonna set you free
We both have so much to learn
Now go... leave me
