I think the speaker is referring to being with his daughter as she was growing up. He's dealing with her worries about him leaving her.
The meaning behind this poem reveals a father putting his daughter to bed and telling her to dream while shes still young. He says no matter how far they are from each other he'll always be close by. When you love someone your always close by to them in their heart. He's telling her that love can never be destroyed, and so he'll love her forever. It says this when he tells her, "You'll always be apart of me", and this is figurative language. When he tells her to dream on he says, " But lullabyes go on and on... They never die", and this is personification.
I like how the speaker shows how much he loves and cares about his daughter in the words of his song. Its a common thing for children to worry about leaving their parents when they get older. So he's comforting her and telling her not to fear.
