A thousand miles away from you,
I may as well live on the moon,
The stars at night we both can see,
Would you see them and think of me'

Last time I held you close to me you clung and would not let me leave,
How much I wish that I could stay and never go away.

Little girl who looks like me, your picture in my hand,
Little girl I long to see do you understand'

I feel sometimes as if you're near,
You're in my song for all to hear,
You're growing up while I grow old,
I long to have your hand to hold,
Imagine you everyday,
You're here with me yet far away,
Look in your eyes and I see mine,
Sincerity I find.

Little girl who looks like me, your picture in my hand,
Little girl I long to see do you understand'
And I have much to say to you, tell me if you can,
Little girl who looks like me, do you understand'

I'd make a rainbow out of hope if all my love for you it showed,
I'd catch a cloud and paint it blue if it would prove my love for you,
So turn the pages of my heart and see what's written down inside,
All of my days I'll try to be a father in you eyes.

Little girl who looks like me, your picture in my hand,
Little girl I long to see do you understand'
And I have much to say to you, tell me if you can,
Little girl who looks like me, can you understand'
Do you understand'
Do you understand'
Do you understand'
