I was talking with my daughter <br />Just the other day <br />I noticed something wrong <br />But couldn't really say <br />Then she broke down and told me <br />Daddy I'm so scared today <br />That you and mom won't make it <br />And every night I pray <br />That God will come and fix it <br />All the problems that ya'll have <br />Then life will be so good to me <br />And I will be so proud <br /> <br />(Chorus) <br />I told her darling <br />You are my little girl <br />And God will listen <br />Cause he knows are my world <br />And don't you worry <br />Even though I know it's hard <br />I know he'll answer <br />You're the jewel of His heart <br /> <br />Then I held her tight and squeezed her <br />Felt her heart beating in my chest <br />Couldn't hardly bare to say it <br />Darling let me tell you all the rest <br />Your mothers sick and dying <br />She's been this way for a long time <br />The problems we've been having <br />Are not what they seem to you <br />But only how to tell you this <br />And how to break the news {Intense} <br /> <br />(Chorus) <br />I told her darling <br />You are our little girl <br />And God will listen <br />Cause He knows you are my world <br />And don't you worry <br />Even though we know it's hard <br />We know he'll answer <br />You're the jewel of His heart <br /> <br />{Bridge} <br />And after mom is gone <br />I'll get on my knees and pray <br />We'll miss her every moment <br />And wish she could have stayed <br />And every single moment <br />That I look into your eyes <br />I will see your mama <br />And I'll make it through the night <br /> <br />(Chorus) {Intense} <br />I told her darling <br />You are our little girl <br />And God will listen <br />Because He knows you are my world {Very Intense} <br />And don't you worry <br />Even though we know it's hard <br />We know he'll answer <br />Because you are <br />The jewel of His heart {Intense Close} then soft instrumental <br /> <br />(This song and lyrics has been forwarded to Trace Adkins) <br />only editing left to song is in Chorus.maybe substituting heart with world....would appreciate feedback as to preferences<br /><br />Barry A.
