Wheelbarrow rides in the backyard
Curled up in his lap while he read the morning news
Holding his hand as I crossed the street to school
Oh the little girl loves to relive it
When the women's feeling blue
How I want to believe the fairy tale is true cuz
He's my hero he's my shining knight
And I love the way I feel when I'm dancing in his light
But the dance is getting harder and the light is giving up
And I keep tripping on the shadows of the man he never was
There's something missin' in the pictures
Of Christmas' and birthday's and boys who broke my heart
The face I remember was never really there
Oh the little girl wants to forgive it
When the woman braves the truth
How I wish he could see, the me he never knew cuz
He's my hero he's my shining knight
And I love the way I feel when I'm dancing in his light
But the dance is getting harder and the light is giving up
And I keep tripping on the shadows of the man he never was
Did he know how much I needed him
Was he holding something back or was it all he had to give cuz
He's my hero he's my shining knight
And I love the way I feel when I'm dancing in his light
But the dance is getting harder and the light is giving up
And I keep tripping on the shadows of the man he never was
