Lyrics
Daddys Girl
Snuck into her room last night
just to see the covers on
picked up mister teddy, put the cow back in its barn
and as I put the night light on
and turned the knob to leave,
I heard a voice so tender, the music that I need.
she said Daddy,
how does the road go on so long
why is the hurricane so strong
how do the stars shine on till dawn, she said daddy,
why can't we fly just like the birds,
and I thought , Daddys got to be the sweetest word.
She came home from the soccer game, she was tired hurt and mean, she didn't want to talk good loosen , she was so sure that theyd win, and as I tried to calm her down, and help her dry her tears, I heard a song that I;d been listening to for years.
She said Daddy,
Why does it hurt when things go wrong, how do I keep on going, when the growing takes so long. And she said Daddy,
It was the softest voice I'd heard, Daddy's got to be the sweetest word
I never really got the term
the one to give away, she was squeezing my hand so tightly that I didn't think she'd stay,
But there she was taken vows and saying yes I do.
It wasn't till later that I heard a song I knew.
She said Daddy, do you see him like I do. He's my knight in shining armor. Sometimes he's just like you, and she said Daddy,
It was a woman's voice I heard
and I still thought Daddy's got to be the sweetest word
snuck into the nursery just to try to lend a hand
the babys teeth were cuttin in
there was no sleep to be had
and then she reached her hand to me and with a tired in her sight, she pulles me close and gently starts to cry.
She said Daddy , why does this have to be so hard
It seemed so easy for you and Mom, do you think we could get that far. And she said Daddy, with motherhood preserved, and I thought Daddys got to be the sweetest word
She checks up on me nightly
just to see that I am warm
shes the one that we depend on
to weather through the storm
and when she saw that little tear falling from my eye, with a voice of a guardian angle,calling from on high
She said Daddy
your always safe here in my home, no matter how far you travel ,no matter how you roam, and she said Daddy,
it was the last thing that I heard.
Daddy's got to be the sweetest word.
