Daddy's Little Girl

Daddy's Little Girl

I'm standin 'on the inside lookin'
Out through these lonely eyes of mine.
I keep on going back to when we used to be together all the time,
And you were all the good things in my life,
Like the wind that finds the trees.
You were daddy's little girl,
And there were never moments such as these.

And baby, when i close my eyes at night,
I see you laugh, i see you cry,
And i memorize these little things,
The broken arms, the empty swings go flyin 'by.
Maybe if i held you in my arms,
I'd get the chance to say the words i know that i should say:
"you'll be daddy's little girl,
No matter how the years may slip away."

And you must stand alone,
Fight forever,
When it feels like you just can't go on.
You should reach out,
But you don't ever,
And i should be the one you lean upon.

And i remember when you fell in love
I hoped that day would never come.
But he just kept his motor running;
I took a break, and you were gone.
And i almost stopped believing in your face and in your voice,
And you're my only vision when i pray
And you'll be daddy's little girl,
No matter how the years may slip away.
Yes, you'll be daddy's little girl,
No matter how the years may slip away.
