| I recall the night that you came into this world
|
| I 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
|
| (Daddy's Girl, Daddy’s Girl
|
| (I'm the centre 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
|
| (Daddy's Girl, Daddy’s Girl
|
| (I'm the centre 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 on a fishin' trip
|
| You said: «Daddy won’t that hook hurt the fishes' lips?»
|
| 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 butterflies
|
| (Daddy's Girl, Daddy’s Girl
|
| (I'm the centre 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 that your young man come 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
|
| (Daddy's Girl, Daddy’s Girl
|
| (I'm the centre of Daddy’s world
|
| (I know I’m Daddy’s number one
|
| (For he loves me like I was his son
|
| (Daddy's Girl.)
|
| To fade
|
| (Daddy's Girl, Daddy’s Girl
|
| (I'm the centre of Daddy’s world
|
| (I know I’m Daddy’s number one
|
| (For he loves me like I was his son
|
| (Daddy's Girl.) |
