Daddy's Girl
(Words and music by Glen Martin)
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. ...
cho: 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 butterflies.
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:
