I recall the night that you came into this world.
|
I couldn't believe the doctor when he said: "It's a little girl."
|
I said: "Now Doc, you must be wrong. You see I want a boy."
|
Then he laid you in my arms and my heart sang with joy.
|
|
(Daddy's Girl, Daddy's Girl,
|
(I'm the centre of Daddy's world.
|
(I know I'm Daddy's number one,
|
(For he loves me like I was his son.
|
(Daddy's Girl.)
|
|
I recall the day I took you to a baseball game.
|
You brought along your baby doll and half its' baby things.
|
We sat there a-playin' house, while the Dodgers played the Braves.
|
And ev'ryone in the bleachers looked at us as if to say.
|
|
(Daddy's Girl, Daddy's Girl,
|
(I'm the centre of Daddy's world.
|
(I know I'm Daddy's number one,
|
(For he loves me like I was his son.
|
(Daddy's Girl.)
|
|
I recall the day I took you on a fishin' trip,
|
You said: "Daddy won't that hook hurt the fishes' lips?"
|
And you said if they don't get air, those things in the can will die.
|
So we turned the worms all loose and chased some butterflies.
|
|
(Daddy's Girl, Daddy's Girl,
|
(I'm the centre of Daddy's world.
|
(I know I'm Daddy's number one,
|
(For he loves me like I was his son. (Daddy's Girl.)
|
|
I recall the day that your young man come to call.
|
Seems like only yesterday, you swam and played football.
|
But I know the time has come, that I must set you free.
|
But no matter where you are, you know what you are to me.
|
|
(Daddy's Girl, Daddy's Girl,
|
(I'm the centre of Daddy's world.
|
(I know I'm Daddy's number one,
|
(For he loves me like I was his son.
|
(Daddy's Girl.)
|
|
To fade.
|
|
(Daddy's Girl, Daddy's Girl,
|
(I'm the centre of Daddy's world.
|
(I know I'm Daddy's number one,
|
(For he loves me like I was his son.
|
(Daddy's Girl.)
