Daddy's Little Girl

February 21st,2003 the year, I almost shed a tear 
that very night you first appeared,

and every since I saw you Tia, you have been the 
one, my heart's been filled with you, my moon, my 
star, my shining sun.

I haven't been the bestest dad but God I surely try, on 
wings I surely fly, without you I would surely die,

cause you stand front and center up in Daddy's little 
world, I call you 'Stinky Faces' cause you're Daddy's 
little girl.

Your birthday comes each year it seems that time 
just really flies, I love explaining things to you, the 
look inside your eyes,

is one of understanding, you're so smart and I'm so 
proud, I think of you and clouds just dissipate from 
all around.

I'm guiding you to live life right, that's all it is with me, 
your job won't measure who you are, MD or Mickey 
Ds,

no matter if you're rich or poor my love will stay the 
same, it's on that higher plain like where the 
mountains meet the rain.

My precious little angel, numerous demands you 
meet, act up I'll tan that seat, you have your Daddy's 
hands and feet,

and when we hug our noses meet, that's just a thing 
we do, we laugh and we have fun when we're 
together me and you.

It's safe to say I love you even more than my own 
self, to save your life I'd walk with open arms to my 
own death,

I rue the day you bring some young'n in through my 
front door, that's just the way a Daddy feels, we all 
want something more,

for all our little girls, we want a man who'll treat you 
right, no question you're the greatest thing that's 
happened in my life,

it'll look as though I'm giving you away come 
wedding day, but even when you're old and gray my 
little girl you'll stay.

I'm here for you through thick and thin, we'll have our 
kicks and grins, we'll prob'ly fight and argue but we'll 
be in thick again,

you're worth a whole lot more than all the diamonds 
in the world, you shine more bright than pearls, 
forever, Daddy's little girl.
