The Gift
What do you give a girl who is like a daughter to you?
When you want do give her everything.
What do you give a girl who is like a daughter to you?
When you have barely enough to support yourself.
What do you give a girl who is like a daughter to you?
You tell her you love her and keep on telling her.
What do you give a girl who is like a daughter to you?
You tell her how proud you are of her.
When she falls (and she will) you give her your hand and help her up.
You give her a shoulder to lean on,
and tell her again how proud you are of her and next time it will work
