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's
coming up, 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 will not
define you, Esqire
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're 9
years old this
birthday still, you're
Daddy's little girl.
