You know who's a good-looking man? Jude Law. You'd be proud and lucky to mature like him—the way he continues to lose hair but just makes it work. He's sexy, he's distinguished, he's funny, he's charming. You know who would have a beautiful record like this in his collection? Yep: Jude. Law. It's just like him! Handsome, tasteful, smart, mature, but edgy when it should be. You like Jude Law. You like Jack Hotel. You get what I'm saying here. Jude Law. Jack Hotel. Jude Law. Jack Hotel. I think we are on the same page.

lyrics
I hope you won't think less of me
Or consider me unkind
But the less I speak your name
The less you seem to cross my mind
When your mother handed you to me
I could hardly understand
You were seconds old and small enough
To balance in my hand
Oh, my daughter, darling one
Don't be too long away
I hope the water spirits you
Back home again to stay
You can see out to the edge of things
On an afternoon so clear
When the sun sets on the aging day
It appears to disappear
Oh, my daughter, darling one
Don't be too long away
I hope the water spirits you
Back home again to stay
Now and then a happy moment comes
And it takes me by surprise
And I hope that years of laughter show
In the corners of your eyes
Oh, my daughter, darling one
Don't be too long away
I hope the water spirits you
Back home again to stay
Oh, my daughter, darling one
Don't settle for a thing
Bear a flag fit for a conqueror
Wear a coat fit for a king
Bear a flag fit for a conqueror
Wear a coat fit for a king
Or consider me unkind
But the less I speak your name
The less you seem to cross my mind
When your mother handed you to me
I could hardly understand
You were seconds old and small enough
To balance in my hand
Oh, my daughter, darling one
Don't be too long away
I hope the water spirits you
Back home again to stay
You can see out to the edge of things
On an afternoon so clear
When the sun sets on the aging day
It appears to disappear
Oh, my daughter, darling one
Don't be too long away
I hope the water spirits you
Back home again to stay
Now and then a happy moment comes
And it takes me by surprise
And I hope that years of laughter show
In the corners of your eyes
Oh, my daughter, darling one
Don't be too long away
I hope the water spirits you
Back home again to stay
Oh, my daughter, darling one
Don't settle for a thing
Bear a flag fit for a conqueror
Wear a coat fit for a king
Bear a flag fit for a conqueror
Wear a coat fit for a king
