Still Daddy's Little Girl

Verse

The day you turned twenty-one

I wished I could turn back the clock

To the time when you were my baby girl

I could hold you close and rock

Verse

As I closed my eyes on that special day

I could sense that sweet mellow scent

Of your soft and gentle silky hair

So fine, so pure and innocent

Chorus

You’re daddy’s little girl

And as time goes by in life

The day will come you’ll meet someone

And you’ll become his wife

You will have children of your own

And the day will come at last

They will each turn twenty-one

And you’ll say, “That went by too fast.”

Verse

Your tiny fingers touched my hand

So small and delicate and light

Your skin was smooth as moonbeams

Caressing the earth on a balmy night

Verse

Your eyes lit my soul with fire

As they dance around the room

Searching for so many things

In this new and earthly womb

Chorus

You’re daddy’s little girl

And as time goes by in life

The day will come you’ll meet someone

And you’ll become his wife

You will have children of your own

And the day will come at last

They will each turn twenty-one

And you’ll say, “That went by too fast.”

Verse

Your smile was like a rosebud blooming

Every time you saw your dad

With those tiny lips of rose petals

You made my heart so glad

And now when I hold you close

There was nothing else in this world

Even though you turned twenty-one

You are still daddy’s little girl.

Chorus

You’re daddy’s little girl

And as time goes by in life

The day will come you’ll meet someone

And you’ll become his wife

You will have children of your own

And the day will come at last

They will each turn twenty-one

And you’ll say, “That went by too fast.”

Chorus

You’re daddy’s little girl

And as time goes by in life

The day will come you’ll meet someone

And you’ll become his wife

You will have children of your own

And the day will come at last

They will each turn twenty-one

And you’ll say, “That went by too fast.”
