Daddy's Girl

I recall the night ...

That you came into this world

couldn't believe the doctor

When he said, "It's a little girl."

I said, "Now Doc you must be wrong

You see I want a boy."

Then he laid you in my arms

And my heart sang with joy. ...

CHORUS:

Daddy's Girl ... Daddy's Girl ...

I'm the champ ... of Daddy's world ...

I know I'm Daddy's number one

For he loves me like I was his son

Daddy's Girl.

I recall the day I took you to a baseball game

You brought along your baby doll and half its' baby things

We sat there a-playin' house, while the Dodgers played the Braves

And ev'ryone in the bleachers, looked at us as if to say.

CHORUS:

I recall the day I took you on a fishin' trip

You said, "Daddy won't that hook - hurt the fishes' lip?"

And you said if they don't get air

Those things in the can will die

So we turned the worms all loose

And chased some butter-flies.

CHORUS:

I recall the day that your young man came to call

Seems like only yesterday, you swam and played football

But I know the time has come, that I must set you free

But no matter where you are, you know what you are to me.

CHORUS: (2X)
