DADDY’S LITTLE GIRL

When I think of my hero, I think of you;

A little girl with no father, you came to my rescue.

A frightened little kid in a big scary world;

You were my protector and I was Daddy’s Little Girl.

Me and you dad, doing everything together;

Like talking on the CB and riding through all kinds of weather.

I remember, hiding the beer when the fuzz buster would sound;

Having a good time, we were the ties that bound.

Even when your real daughter came, you treated me the same;

I was so blessed to have you; I wish things would’ve changed.

I’ve disappointed you, worried you and I’ll never forget that;

If I had one wish, I’d take all the worries back.

You taught me to be strong and it gave me the strength of a log;

You said “never take any crap and always be there for the underdog.

To always put family first and protect the ones you love;

That it’s a cold world baby girl, so make sure you wear your gloves.

So please forgive me pop and let's close this long distance;

I’m on my way home daddy, and I need your assistance.

If something bad should happen and you were to die today;

I’d be a little girl lost again and never ever find my way.
