daddy's little girl
forever by his side
sitting on his shoulders
she's so incredibly high
ribbons in her curls
with rosy cheeks to match
so giddy and playful
with daddy, playing catch
she's sweet sixteen today
diamonds round her neck
surrounded by friends and
daddy, trying so hard to protect
graduation day is big
medal and diploma in hand
she steps onto the stage
and winks at her old man
that ring around her finger
as golden as her heart
will never replace the love he has
for baby daughter jas
