Well it's nice in its way, "Yes", you know, some of it, not uh, not when they go naked
Uh, you are obviously not British people, where are you from? "I'm British
You're British, you were born in Britain
Where is you, where? "Stepney"
Stepney. Nice, um, what are your favorite British pop artists?
Um, well I don't have one anyway
Do you like reggae? It's my music

There we go, running before we can walk again
Can you imagine the hours I keep
Learning to sleep again, see her face again

Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay

Wide awake, lying in wait for the moon to break
Drinking the lake of the dreams that we share
Wanting you there today, today

Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay

Can you believe she just dropped in to say goodbye, say goodbye
I'm crying, beautiful daughter give me more, open the door
Pools in her eyes that are bright and deep
Can you imagine the hours I keep
Learning to sleep again, again

Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay

Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay

Beautiful daughter give me more, open the door

Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay ...
