Daddys little girl

Daddy's little girl
up on shoulders high
you made me smile
told me everything, no lie

15 years i knew you
you were my best friend
but then came the day
our trust came to an end

i didn't know you were sick
it had been 5 years
and i felt like an idiot
oblivious to your tears

you tried to calm me
telling me you'd be fine
but since that day
i stay up all night crying

on the way to school
i broke out in tears
for the father who once loved me
has recently disappeared

hes physically here.
yet out of my hands
and daddy's little girl
lost her number 1 man

and i know others have it worse.
no daddy at all
but its hard to see your daddy
as he slowly falls

knowing you cant help
no matter how hard you try
hes still your daddy
despite his lie

I'm only a child
and i need my daddy here
so every night i pray
that god will keep him near

i want him to see my graduate
and hold his head up high
thats my little girl He'd say
as he begins to cry

He'd walk me down the aisle
and kiss me on the cheek
He'd look me in the eyes
my heart he has to keep

ill love him for forever
even out of this world
hes always been there for me
