She’s the dream that I awoke with
She’s a deep sigh in the night
She’s the secret smile that lets me know
Everything’s alright

She’s a messenger of mischief
So tickle-ickle-ee
She’s a tousled panorama
With a bandaid on each knee

And I carry her inside me
Whenever we’re apart
It may be cold and dark outside
But it’s Dusty in my heart

She’s a mass of contradictions
In my once peaceful world
She’s a rosebud needing water
She’s my little girl

She’s the master of her moment
The catch inside my throat
She’s the imp who knows she’s funny
Though she’s never told a joke

And I carry her inside me
Whenever we’re apart
It may be raining hard outside
But it’s Dusty in my heart

As night cloaks her and Teddy
I pray You’ll let me know
When to take her hand, Lord
And when to let her go

It’s not that I don’t want her
To live and learn and grow
I only want to keep her small
A hundred years or so

And I carry her inside me
Whenever we’re apart
It may be cold and dark outside
But it’s Dusty
Always Dusty in my heart
