~ Daddy's Girl ~
They say I look like Daddy
That's hard for me to know,
He just looks so big and strong
Don't think like him I'll grow.
But, oh I love him so
'Cause he's my Daddy friend,
When I hear him at the door
That's when it can begin.
I pull him to his chair
And scramble on his knee,
Then look in all his pockets
To see what's there for me.
He blows raspberries on my cheek
To make me giggle so with glee,
Then he lifts me on his shoulders
To take us for our tea.
Every girl should have a Daddy
To make her world secure,
But there's lots of darling cherubs
A sad loneliness endure.
For some Daddy's walk away
Or are so busy at their toil,
Overwhelmed with the cares of life
To love a little girl.
But, God's watching from above
With eyes so full of love,
He sees her as His treasured pearl
Forever safe as Daddy's girl.
