When I was young my father said
‘I love you’ a thousand times in a day
He called me his little princess
His sunshine, his baby sun ray

He put me to sleep every night
Singing lullabies, my hair he would touch
He would stroke me and kiss me
My father, he loved me so much!

I don’t remember any more
Or perhaps I choose to forget
No monsters ever hid in my room
For the monster slept with me on the bed
