Step Daughter

First time I saw you sitting there like a nervous little angel ready to fly away 
First time I talked to you I encouraged you to stay 
First time I saw you smile, it made me smile too 
Now I look into your eyes, I think I know something about love too 


First time I held your little hand, seemed like I had a friend for life in you 
First time you told me about your mom ma I felt your love for her too 
First time you jumped on my back I felt the beginning of love for you 
Now I look into your eyes, I think I know something about love too 


First time I taught you something, you taught me something too 
First time I told you have a wonderful blessed morning, you told me to have one too 
First time you said good night to me, I said good night to you 
Now I look into your eyes, I think I know something about love too

Oh it’s been many a years and your still that little girl I knew 
You fell in love with him before I really knew, just like I fell in love with you 
When you went away to school I told you, you are a precious gift from God and you said so 
are you, I got them you are all grown and left me, miss my baby blues
