Disclaimer: this isn't mine, not Danny, not Sam, maybe Emmy, not Jazz, not Tucker none of them…or the song Because you loved me by Celine Dion
BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME
"I would like everyone to clear the floor for the traditional father daughter dance where the father has one last chance to dance with his daughter. You may all join in if you would like, make sure to leave no little girl on the side lines." Sam said as Emmy steeped off of the stage and walked to the side of the room to watch.
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through it all
Emmy watched Jazz awkwardly dancing with her father as he tried not to trample her feet. Emmy sighed as she walked out side to look at the stars; all the weddings were the same. She would envy the woman who was so beautiful in a white dress and everyone there told her how beautiful she was. Her father walked her down the isle and danced with her alone.
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
"Is this bit of sighing area an only party thing or can I join?" tucker asked in a joke.
"No its not taken, I'm sorry Mr. Mayor I just attend too many weddings to get excited." Emmy said flashing a fake smile that mirrored Sam's.
"You are so much like your mother it's not funny." Tucker laughed.
"Yea, I got that from those who know her, but she won't say a word about my father. Oh well its not like I'll ever meet him." Emmy stretched and sat against the cool fence that was wrapped in roses.
"He was a great man." Tucker said knowingly, it didn't take a genies to figure out that she was really Danny's daughter because she looked just like him only with her mother's eyes.
"Really? You knew my father? What was he like? Did he look like me? Was he as handsome as mom describes? Did he really die saving me?" Emmy stood up excited maybe her answers would come.
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
"What did your mom tell you happened to him?" Tucker asked as Emmy took a breath.
"Well there was this big fight when mom was just pregnant with me, they were engaged then. But in the fight mom was about to be hit but he took the bullet for her and forgot about even protecting himself. He saved her and me, so its thanks to him I still have mom and I'm lucky to be here even if he is dead. Mom won't say anymore." Emmy looked at the full moon and smiled.
"That's one hell of a story." Tucker said.
"Yea, I know if he was here then he would be dancing with me and…." Emmy trailed off.
"I know I'm not your father but your mom was one of my best friends so if you want I'll dance with you." Tucker smiled as he offered his hand to her.
"I'd love to." Emmy said as they danced at arms length to the last verse of the song.
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
