What does it mean to "raise a child"? There are so many things that I don't understand But the only thing I know is I've come to live for you I am very, very happy, I feel very, very warm inside Thank you, really, for coming into my life If we can be honest with each other, I want to always be with you, but No matter where you are I will always be your Dada Though I'm not a hero or even a superstar I will always be your Dada You're a small, noisy, whimpering thing What a strange and wonderful creature You're clumsy, bewildering, and worrisome What a strange and wonderful creature
