No matter how many years pass by <br />Daddy's little girl you always will be <br />My daughter my angel the apple of my eye <br />You're the most wonderful thing to ever happen to me <br /> <br />It's been years since I cradled you <br />Rocked you in my arms till you fell asleep <br />Those years flew by, as happy ones do <br />But I have all these memories to keep <br /> <br />Discovering the world eyes wide with wonder <br />Every day you made me more proud <br />Calling out to me when wakened by thunder <br />'Daddy come here' you'd cry out loud <br /> <br />I'd sit in your room to calm your fears <br />Waiting till you fell asleep again <br />My eyes were damp with happiness tears <br />I haven't felt that way since then <br /> <br />As you grew so did my pride <br />My daughter so beautiful so bright <br />Nothing could match the love inside <br />That I felt for you my angel my light <br /> <br />Then you grew up as young girls do <br />And the boys began to take notice <br />Not one did I think was good enough for you <br />But I knew you'd soon receive your first kiss <br /> <br />Daddy's little girls become women <br />And there's nothing a daddy can do <br />Except pray when it comes to men <br />That the right one comes along for you <br /> <br />Then comes the day to walk down the aisle <br />With me beside you to give you away <br />I'm losing my baby but I keep on a smile <br />Not to cast a shadow on your special day <br /> <br />For of all the riches a man can see <br />A diamond a ruby a pearl <br />My daughter is the one most precious to me <br />And will always be Daddy's little girl <br /> <br />1994 Harry J Couchon Jr<br /><br />Harry J.
