Daddy's Little Girl
Verse 1
She'd snuggle up and talk to me,
Each night as I'd watch TV,
I teasingly called her chatterbox,
Then one night, she said 'dont be scared'
I see an angel on the stairs
Daddy can you hear the angel talk?
*CHORUS*

1 more year of lollypops, ice-cream cones and soda pop,
1 more year of daddy's little girl.
1 more year of crackerjacks, bubblegum and sugar smacks,
1 more year of daddy's little girl.

Verse 2
I took her in my arms upstairs
And as she said her nightime prayers
I felt a fever burning through her head

She gave thanks for mom and me
And said I heard my angel speak
Daddy, this is what my angel said

*CHORUS*

Verse 3
Her faith grew strong, her body weak
And soon my frightened eyes could see
There was nothing on earth that I could do
And one year later to the day
In her sleep she slipped away
And I knew what she'd said and heard were true

*CHORUS*

1 more year of daddy's little girl.
