Daddy

Pick me up
Hold me, Daddy
Take me in your arms

Play with me
Blocks, Daddy
Now pick up all the toys

Read to me
Again, Daddy
The best part of the book

Hug me tight
Kiss me, Daddy
Tuck me into bed

Your little girl is growing up
Soon she’ll be out of sight
Better hold her close to you
Better hold her tight

Let her know you love her
Support her all the way
Show her just how proud you are
With a smile every day

Finished elementary school
Done with high school too
Soon she’ll finish college
And new things she’ll pursue

But even though she’s grown
And doing things on her own
She’ll still need you beside her
To comfort her and guide her
