Samantha`s Song

The lyrics roll off her tongue, the meaning is heard ...it is felt from R & B to the 
sweet soul of an Oldie, even the loud hard rock songs she hits every note, 
  like a play are a lip singing Deva she puts on a great show, she sings it with 
emotion, with passion she sings it as if it was Samantha`s song  
   A sudden stop, her little face blushes for out the corner of her eye she seen  
daddy's been watching " what" she ask`s "nothing" as I clear my throat.
I seen beauty when she was born, I fill the love from a daughter to a father  when 
she smiles at me , it makes me forget all that is wrong.
   A child so much her mom so full of love trust of beauty a child that reminds me 
of some one up above her confidence, the way she speaks....it`s like no other,
   I see my eyes my face I even see the grin I gave as a child in old pictures, but 
she`s more out going, undefined, she knows she belongs,
she sings songs of believing, meaning, songs of love, she sings songs from the 
radio, from movies she even sings duets with her brother,
Listing to music I remember when she sang this song, are that song I remember 
when she sang kariokie after the first one she wanted to sing all night long.
  They tell me in her teen years it will all change that I will be dad not daddy that 
her smile will turn to a frown that she`s going to rock my world,
  I tell them that's not true, and I may be blind to it but when things go wrong she 
lifts me up in my head her music plays on,
  I think of a time when she was a little baby, I held her in my arms we danced 
and I sang to her, the song was and always will be My Girl,
     That's Samantha`s song.
