Hi all,
Here's a french song about the unfailing ties that unite a father and his daughter.
Bruno Giolland has written the lyrics, he has composed the music and he sings.

Here's the translation of the lyrics :

From one diaper to another
She filled my days
And often woke up my nights
From bottle to bottle
Her eyes in my eyes
We quickly recognized each other
I'm there near her to protect her night
To watch her moving fingers
But I'm there near her to feel quietly
The weight of the next day that rises

When evening comes
She calls for a story
Cuddle in the hollow of the waiting bed
From one princess to another
She is afraid she is panicking
She smiles and she laughs and asks again
I'm there near her to protect her night
To prepare her school bag
But I'm there near her to feel quietly
The weight of the next day that rises

From one school year to the next
She's inventing herself now
Music and sport, agenda
From one shower to another
Mobile phone in hand
Time just flies, makeup
I'm far away from her to continue my life
Changing while staying the same
But if I'm away from her I protect her night
I'm still in her life

This started off with a little bit of Stairway to Heaven in the progression & melody. Luckily it's not as histrionic as that song.
Excellent arrangement Chris - excellent.
Monsieur Giolland did a good job recording his vocal.
It strikes me as strange seeing the title without a pronoun in front. In English it wouldn't seem so but in French my ignorant self looks for une, mon or ma etc.
Loved the song!

Thanks, Ray, for your comment.
In french, you can say " Petite fille " without pronoun.
It's like you were speaking to her, calling her by her first name. Christian
