even though we dwell so far apart.

You have become just like my child to me

because you've come to captivate my heart.

 
I close my eyes that I might listen to you speak;

even though I've never heard your voice.

You are just like my daughter to me

and knowing you has made my heart rejoice!
 

You are a treasure, a treasure to me;

as if you're one of mine, my very own.

I never had the pleasure of seeing your life

yet like my child, I see how much you've grown

 
You are a treasure, a treasure to me;

as if you're one of mine, my heart can't hide.

I never had the pleasure of holding your hand;

but like my own, I'm filled with joy and pride.
 

How could anyone not see the beauty in you?

When here and now I know it's plain to see?

You are a treasure, a treasure to me;

just like my very own, so joyously!

You are my treasure, beyond any measure to me;

more than anyone could hope you'd ever be!

 
You are a treasure, a treasure to me;

even though we're miles and miles apart.

You are a treasure, it's true;

Again I say to you...
