Lyrics

Oh Daddy copyright Barbara Cecil 2/3/2000

V1

There?s a little girl in the neighborhood

Who?s only five or six years old

Her mama and daddy sat her down

And said there?s something she must be told

Her daddy had his suitcase packed

And it was waiting by the door

And mama said we can?t get along

And daddy?s not living here no more

Oh her daddy?s heart was breaking

And her mama?s heart was too

She wasn?t sure just what to say

And didn?t know just what she should do

And then her mama left the room

So that her daddy could say goodbye

And he put his arms around her

And the tears fell from his eyes

And she said

(chorus)

Oh daddy please don?t worry

I?ll always be your little girl

And no one else could ever love you more

Than me in this whole wide world

You?ll always be my hero

And I?ll always look up to you

Oh daddy please don?t cry those tears

Cause I?ll take care of you

V2

There?s a young girl on her wedding day

And daddy?s walking her down the isle

He can?t believe this day has come

Yesterday she?s just a child

Oh all those years of loving her

How could he ever let her go?

Then she took his hand in her hand

And said oh daddy don?t you know











(chorus)

That daddy you shouldn?t worry

I?ll always be your little girl

And no one else will ever love you more

Than me in this whole wide world

You?ll always be my hero

And I?ll always look up to you

Oh daddy please don?t cry those tears

I?ll always be here for you

(bridge)

they?ll always be a special bond between daddy?s and their little girls

and the loves so strong that it never leaves the heart of a little girl

V3

There?s an old man in the hospital

Soon it will be his time to go

His daughter sits beside his bed

Crying with her head down low

Oh all these years together

She never thought they?d ever part

And now its time to let him go

And with the last beat of his heart he says

Darlin please don?t worry

You?ll always be my little girl

And no one else has ever loved you more

Than me in this whole wide world

You?ve always been my hero

And I?ve always looked up to you

Oh darling please don?t cry those tears

Cause my love goes on with you

Oh darlin please don?t cry??.
