Daddy's Girl



 

Chorus

            Daddy's girl, you're growing up so fast

            Why do childhood's magic years never last?

Young men are calling, falling down at your feet

      All pleading for a share of your smile so sweet

      Your golden hair cascades around your shoulder

      Grey-green magic sparks you eyes as you grow older

      You've swapped the calico ribbons tying back your golden locks

      For a strap round the neck of a blue-grass guitar which rocks

      My tears of joy sprinkle at the rainbow's end

      Tell me my daughter's now a woman, but still my best friend

Chorus

You used to be Daddy's girl, with innocent grin and golden curls

      Oh how I hoped that it could last, but you've entered a whole new world

      Now all the young dudes come calling, streaming to you

      You've got the gift and you … can make them happy, or leave them blue

      Every day a new adventure in your teenage years

      But darling, here's a simple fact: Daddy will always be here

      I'm proud of you, my baby – daughter, woman, dearest friend

      My heart is filled with love for you, a love which has no end

Chorus again. Repeat [and fade] if req'd to end ………
