Katy is Three years old 
We've been dancing in the living room to her new Tom Paxton record
Katy's got a lot of rhythm when she wiggles, for a little kid, she's got soul

That night when her mom and dad come home 
I tell them what she said to me 
I figure they'll think I'm some kind of babysitting genius 
To make this little girl so darn happy 
But they smile and they say "don't take this the wrong way 
But Katy said the same thing yesterday
Lately she's been saying that everyday" 

I think back to what I know was the best day of my life 
It was wintertime 
Ten years ago
We were staying in a farmhouse 
In the middle of Vermont
The hills were covered with Christmas trees 
And freshly fallen snow 

Instantly I picture the vivid details of that day 
When you told me that you loved me more than you could ever say
The air was a bracing cold
The sky a startled blue 
Never before or since 
Have I felt that close to you

What does that say about you and me and the last ten years 
I've learned to live with your silence
You've learned to overlook my tears
Now this dancing three year old in her simple perfect way 
Has me questioning the basis for the life we live today

Katy's probably sleeping now 
I wonder if she dreams about 
Flying with the angels
Dancing with moonbeams 
You are here beside me 
You are snoring right out loud 
I long to kiss you on the forehead 
And smooth your worried brow 

Though we have not given up 
It's been ages since we've tried 
To reveal the aching passion 
That for years we've pushe
