SHE RAN DOWN FROM
THE UPSTAIRS
AND SHE BURST INTO
THE ROOM
SAID DAD I'M PLAYIN'
DINOSAURS
DO YOU WANT
TO BE ONE TOO
I SET MY GROWN
UP WORLD ASIDE
AND SAID I'LL
BE RIGHT THERE
SHE STOPPED TO
ASK THIS QUESTION
WHEN WE WERE HALF
WAY UP THE STAIRS
HOW MUCH
DO YOU LOVE ME
HOW MUCH DO
YOU REALLY CARE
I TOUCHED MY HEART
SPREAD MY ARMS
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
SORRIES
AND THE TEARS
SHE WAS SITTING
ON THE PORCH STEP
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 MY HEART
SPREAD MY ARMS
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 GRAY
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
AND SHE'LL SAY
HOW MUCH
DO YOU LOVE ME
HOW MUCH DO
YOU REALLY CARE
I'LL TOUCH MY
HEART
SPREAD MY ARMS
AND SAY
ALL THE WAY
TO THERE
WE'LL TOUCH
OUR HEARTS
SPREAD OUR ARMS
AND SAY
ALL THE WAY
TO THERE
