MY DADDY
I NEED TO TELL THE STORY
OF A MAN I DEARLY LOVE
A MAN SO STRONG, YET GENTLE
HE WAS SENT FROM GOD ABOVE
A MAN WHO LOVED AND GUIDED ME
AS HE GENTLY HELD MY HAND
A MAN WHO TAUGHT ME RIGHT FROM WRONG
AND SHOWED ME LIFE WAS GRAND
A MAN WHO TOOK ME FISHING
AND MADE ME BAIT MY HOOK
A MAN WHO SHOWED ME HOW TO CLEAN A FISH
AND TAUGHT ME HOW TO COOK
A MAN WHOSE LOVE I ALWAYS FELT
EVEN WHEN I WAS BAD
HE "PREACHED" TO ME ABOUT WHAT I 'D DONE
AND I KNOW IT MADE HIM SAD
MY DADDY IS A PROUD MAN
OF THAT I'M VERY SURE
AND I PRAY TO GOD EVERY NIGHT
THAT THEY WILL FIND A CURE
SEE, MY DADDY HAS A BAD DISEASE
OF WHICH THERE IS NO CURE
IT STRIPS HIM OF HIS MEMORIES
AND THAT I CAN'T ENDURE
IT'S HARD TO THINK THAT ONE DAY
I HOPE IT'S NOT TOO SOON
HE WONT EVEN KNOW MY NAME
OR THAT IM IN THE ROOM
AND AS THE DAYS GO SLOWLY BY
AND HE'S LOST IN HIS OWN WORLD
THERE'S ONE THING I KNOW HE WON'T FORGET
.............
I'LL ALWAYS BE DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL!
I LOVE YOU DADDY
