Lyrics
Each night at her bedside she kneels down to pray
Simple words are spoken in a childlike way
With her hands joined together and her eyes shut so tight
She whispers her prayers before saying goodnight
Sweet words from the heart, bring a tear or two
When she asks God to bless her mommy and her daddy too
To see her like this with all her childlike faith
Are memories I'll cherish... till the end of my days
O daddy's little girl she's growing up so fast
The years are passing by though I long for them to last
To see her, to hear her, to know that's she is there
To tell her I love her and show that I care
And she will always be daddy's little girl
Deep down inside I guess I've always known
There would come a time when she'd have to leave our home
Someone will come and steal her heart, and he'll become her world
And I'll have to watch her walk away... daddy's little girl
O daddy's little girl she's growing up too fast
The years are passing by though I long for them to last
To see her, to hear her, to know that's she is there
To tell her that I love her and show that I care...
And she will always be daddy's little girl
Yeah just to see her, to hear her, to know that's she's there
To tell her that I love her and show that I care
And she will always be daddy's little girl
Yes she'll always be...her daddy's little girl
