He wasn't prepared for a daughter he thought how nice a son would have been
|
But she had her way with her father when she smiled at him
|
Years ago he stopped trying to change her he knew that he just couldn't win
|
She'd come home with stray dogs and strangers
|
He's have to let 'em in when she smiled at him
|
Now those old memories linger in his mind she's still only ten
|
And he's still wrapped round her finger like the first time when she smiled at him

When he gave her away at the wedding he paused for a moment and then
|
He whispered I think now I'm ready when she smiled at him
|
Now as the years fade into each other he may forget some things now and then
|
But her face now so much like her mother's carries him back again
|
To when she smiled at him
|
Now those old memories linger...
|
And he's still wrapped round her finger like the first time when she smiled at him
