Little Daughter

Little Daughter

Take my hand, Little Daughter
I’ll tell you what I know
Won’t be around forever
But I hope to see you grow
Into a beautiful woman
With a child of her own
Hear my words, Little Daughter
You’ll never be alone

If you break it, you buy it
Pay your debts and don’t be late
If you do something wrong, admit it, and learn from your mistakes

Learn to play piano so your voice can soar and shine
Let the world hear your songs
And when I’m gone, please sing mine

Run into your fears
Never run away
Don’t waste a precious minute, learn right now to seize the day

Oooooooooooooh
I love you so
The greatest joy in my whole life is watching you grow

Pain will come, as sure as you live and breathe
The hurt may rip your heart out and knock you to your knees
But be your mother’s daughter, and know the sun will surely shine
Don’t let the dark times steal your soul
Tomorrow will be fine

If you’re worried a man won’t “let you”
Then he’s not the one for you
Find a man like Daddy who wants you to be you

CHORUS

Little fingers, little toes
I knew the moment you were born
I was changed forever more
Knew that I’d adore you
How much I didn’t know

Life is short
But if you waste it, it’s so long
Be true to yourself, let your heart stay pure and strong

Choose friends who make laugh
Who needs friends who make you cry?
Stay away from mean girls, honey, they’re insecure and won’t stand by you

You can talk about your dreams, ‘til Kingdom Come
But what you do, Little Daughter, that’s where character comes from

CHORUS 2 x
The greatest joy in my whole is watching you grow
