Most parents might find this song self explanatory.

Like You Own the World
By David Snyder

V1

Well I’m gonna miss
Your baby blues
But I think I’ve taught you
What you need to get through
So as you’re packing up the car
Sailing off into the blue
I just have two things
I want to say to you
And as your father
I know that these two things are true

CH

Just remember
You’ll always be my girl
Yeah just remember
You’ll always be my girl
And when you walk out there
With your flag unfurled
I want you walk
Like you own the world
Yeah I want you to walk
Like you own the world

V2

Well I’m gonna miss
All the crazy little things that you do
Because every single one of them
Makes me crazier for you
So as you’re waving from the driveway
Sailing off into the blue
I still have two things
That I want to say to you
And always know
That these two things are true

CH

Just remember
You’ll always be my girl
Yeah just remember
You’ll always be my girl
And when you walk out there
With your flag unfurled
I want you walk
Like you own the world
Yeah I want you to walk
Like you own the world
Yeah I want you to walk
Like you own the world
Like you own
the world

Cool tune. Nice work.

Yeah all I got for right now. Too tired to think critically.

Hi David,

This is such a great backing that you've created. The added cello is beautiful. Then, when the prairie piano enters the mix it lifts the emotional quality of the backing even more. These provided wonderful support for your heartfelt lyrics and performance.

Regards,
Noel

I didn`t think you could get better than your last song... and now this... about the best leaving home gift in song from parent to child I`ve heard.
Awesome!

David, you’re a great inspiration You can be very proud of such a dedicated song ‘from the heart “ to someone very dear to you ,never easy to script. Your subtle restrained singing of it was perfect, as was the soft Cello, the piano came in beautifully.

David, Were you always this good or have you lately taken an upward leap in your songwriting? This is a great write and performance of a very relatable song to any of us with daughters. Great fatherly advice. You done good Dad! Tom

This is beautiful, David.

Nothing better than writing from the heart - and it is obvious that is where this came from.

Tasty production - nice build! One of your best. One of your best vocals, too...

Sweet.

Poignant and beautiful song, David. The cello is so tasteful and effective and provides an elegant background for your emotive vocal. I also love the piano -- it's like the varnish that makes the whole track shine just that much more.

Very cool tune David. My son has two daughters and he will be heart broken when they leave the nest. Well done

Could not say it better than Bob. Probably my new fave of yours, from a long list!! I have a 12-year old daughter. She's a tall, graceful, beautiful girl with bright eyes, a big heart and a sharp wit. Hopefully, I can write one like this for her someday! Take care. Greg

I couldn't agree more.

David, this is absolutely your best to date. I don't know how you are going to top this one?

This is so good that if my daughter ever gets married I would like your permission to play this song for the father and daughter dance.

This is a keeper.


OK, a random thought;
