Daughter of mine

Lord Capulet
Daughter of mine, star in the night
Smile so sweet, tender and soft
Daughter of mine, now you become wife
Flower that opens, with pearls of dew.

Daughter of mine, little heart of gold,
Gift from God, who loves you
Daughter of mine, presently you are free
Am I now afraid, am I now glad,
Daughter of mine

I am the blood that streams in her
Everything I then, ever dreamed of
And I curse, who share’s her presently
Yes I curse who steals her now

Daughter of mine, how I’m frightened
For every gesture for every glance
Daughter of mine, I repent
For every woman, I ever wanted
Daughter of mine

I hate every man that looks at you
I know what he wants and always will get
And once comes the day, that one of them
Asks for your hand with trembling voice

So on that day and for ever
I loose with regret, will I loose you
Daughter of mine, I will loose you
Daughter of mine, thus I go on ‘cause I belief
And I have hope, that on one day, the day of my death
You understand me, than I’ll be put in the right
After all that time, after that battle you will see
Eventually perhaps,
That I deserve your love and friendship

Daughter of mine, now you become wife
Flower that opens, with pearls of dew.
Daughter of mine, presently you are free
Am I now afraid, am I now glad,
Daughter of mine, daughter of mine
