| My darlin', my baby, little girl
|
| I watched you come into this world
|
| I looked down at you, you smiled back at me
|
| The prettiest thing I’d ever seen
|
| I’d buy you a new Sunday dress
|
| With a locket from grandma’s old chest
|
| A Skip-to-My-Lou, a tea party for two
|
| Just some of my memories of you
|
| Little girl, little girl
|
| Little girl, little girl
|
| You’ll always be my little girl
|
| I knew the day would come
|
| When you’d fall in love with someone
|
| Had to let go your hand, stand back with the band
|
| And watch as your new life had begun
|
| Oh, my baby, my darlin' little girl
|
| Won’t you take a lesson from this world
|
| Life’s peaches and cream ain’t always what it seems
|
| But don’t let that darken your dreams
|
| Now the future’s turned into the past
|
| And the years have gone by far too fast
|
| When I’m over and done
|
| Know you were the one
|
| That made the love in my heart last
|
| When I’m over and done
|
| Know you were the one
|
| That made the love in my heart last
|
| Little girl, little girl
|
| Little girl, little girl
|
| You’ll always be my little girl
|
| You’ll always be your daddy’s little girl |
