Her Daddy?s Little Girl

In the first grade we get to walk them to school
By the third grade that?s no longer cool
Little cute dresses and colorful hats
Soon become tomboys swinging bats (wearing pants)
Little Girls
Through the years you get to watch them grow
You smile with pride at each talent show
Dance class, girl scouts, and in between (make believe)
Fun times, bad times, and cheerleading
Little girls
(Chorus)
Daddy?s little girl
Daddy?s little girl
Her mothers smile and her grandma?s hair
Mammaw?s heart and grandpa?s stare
Daddy?s little girl
Before you know it those boys start coming
They?re out to steal your little girls loving
You hold her close when her heart gets broken
And stop her tears with soft words spoken
Little Girls
After high school she goes on to college
Next comes love and then comes marriage
You walked (walk) her down the aisle with pride
Handing her off you start to cry
Little Girls
She was Daddy?s little girl
Her mothers smile and her grandma?s hair
Mammaw?s heart and grandpa?s stare
Daddy?s little girl
Daddy?s little girl
(Bridge)
Eight years later at the foot of a bed
Looking at photos from the life you?ve led
The grandchild next to you thinks you?re cool
And asks? Grandpa, can you walk me to school?
She?s Her Daddy?s little girl
Daddy?s little girl
Her mothers smile and her daddy?s hair
Mamma?s heart and grandpa?s stare
Daddy?s little girl
Daddy?s little girl
Daddy?s little girl?
