Lyrics
Daddy's Little Girl
550219557@2013
Chorus 1
Wrapped around her little finger, from the day her life began.
The apple of my eye, since, I can't remember when.
She's a little brown-eyed beauty with angel softened skin.
She's Daddy's little girl and that's the way it's always been.
Verse
Near the end of summer in 1993, a precious baby girl was given to me
As pretty as her Momma and a heart pure as gold,
loving her came easy and never got old.
She's a beauty queen and a movie star, all wrapped up in one.
And she's never been afraid of working hard until the job done.
She heard a voice from Heaven as just a little girl,
and set out in her mind to change the world.
Now days, and weeks, and years gone by,since 1993,
and that precious baby girl is still my Sweetpea.
Chorus 1
Wrapped around her little finger, from the day her life began.
the apple of my eye, since, I can't remember when.
She's a little brown-eyed beauty with angel softened skin
She's Daddy's little girl and that's the way it's always been.
Bridge
Well she's almost grown and living on her own trying to make a brand new start
when this boy she meets, from down the street wants to take her little heart.
She runs up to me, so excitedly, asking what she ought to do.
I look her in the eye, trying not to cry, and say, "Remember, I will always love you."
Chorus 2
Now there's a ring wrapped 'round her finger and I just can't remember when
She has ever been more happy, since the day her life began.
So I'll trust Zak and God will take care of her until the very end.
'Cause she's still Daddy's little girl, and that's the way it's always been.
You know Mom and Dad still love you, girl. And will always, until the end.
