She ran down from the upstairs   She burst into the room   Said, "Dad, I'm playin' dinosaurs   Do you wanna be one too?"      I set my grown-up world aside   An' said, "I'll be right there"   She stopped to ask this question   When we were halfway up the stairs      "How much do you love me?"   "How much do you really care?"   I touched heart, spread my wings and said   "All the way to there"      She called me from a party   Late one night, her junior year   And bravely gave an address   Through the stories and the tears      She was sittin' on the porch steps   As I pulled up to the curb   I could see the question in her eyes   She asked without a word      "How much do you love me?"   "How much do you really care?"   I touched heart, spread my wings and said   "All the way to there"      It's the simple things that matter most   In everybody's life   Sometimes just knowin' that you're really loved   Makes everything all right      Children grow and years go by   Moms and dads get grey   Little girls get married   And give their dinosaurs away      They'll live their grown up lives and call   Their daddies now and then   And from a thousand miles away   I'll hear her on the stairs again      "How much do you love me?"   "How much do you really care?"   I touched heart, spread my wings and said   "All the way to there"      We'll touch our hearts, spread our arms and say   "All the way to there"
