#NowPlaying: Neal- Molly Smiles

AHHHHH this video gets me every time. All this research I've been doing for this new TV project has brought back some SERIOUS memories from my childhood. 

I always loved this video from Uptown Girls. The movie was meh, Dakota Fanning however is just wow - so effing talented ... but seriously ... this totally takes me back to my dance recitals as a kid. I can still see my dad from the stage with his camcorder, which at the time was like half the size of him.

He was always filming us growing up. I hated it then, but obviously adore him for it now. 

I miss my parents, a lot. I wish I could see them more, but this is the life that I lead, and that is just what happens. 

Either way - thinking about my parentals a lot today, specifically my dad - and this made me smile. However, no, my name is not Molly. (I keed ... I keed)

Daddy's little girl
Paints the world with her magic wand
Daddy's little child
Breathes new life to the morning time, for me
Though we're apart, her thoughts follow me

When I come home
Molly smiles with the dawn
Molly smiles and she radiates a glow around her halo
When she plays, Molly smiles
On a summer day, Molly smiles
A new day, Molly smiles

Daddy's little girl
Ties a ribbon around my heart
Daddy's little child
Waves goodbye to the ocean tide that sweeps me
Though we're apart, she's a part of me

Molly smiles with the dawn
Molly smiles and she radiates a glow around her halo
When she plays, Molly smiles
On a summer day, Molly smiles
A new day, Molly smiles

Molly smiles with the dawn
Molly smiles and she radiates a glow around her halo
When she plays, Molly smiles
On a summer day, Molly smiles
A new day, Molly smiles

Nothing's wrong when Molly smiles
