Daddy's Girl Songtext
von Red Sovine

I recall the night that you came into this world
I couldn′t believe the doctor when he said it's a little girl
I said: "Now, Doc, you must be wrong
You see, I want a boy"
Then he laid you in my arms
And my heart sang with joy

(Daddy′s girl, daddy's girl)
(I'm the centre of Daddy′s world)
(I know I′m Daddy's number one)
(For he loves me like I was his son)
(Daddy′s girl)

I recall the time I took you to a baseball game
You brought along your baby doll and half its baby things
We sat there playin' house, while the Dodgers played the Braves
And everyone in the bleachers looked at us, as if to say


(Daddy′s girl, daddy's girl)
(I′m the centre of Daddy's world)
(I know I'm Daddy′s number one)
(For he loves me like I was his son)
(Daddy′s girl)

I recall the day I took you on a fishin' trip
You said, "Daddy, won′t that hook hurt the fish's lip?"
And you said if they don′t get air
Those things in the can will die
So we turned the worms a-loose and chased some butterflies

(Daddy's girl, daddy′s girl)
(I'm the centre of Daddy's world)
(I know I′m Daddy′s number one)
(For he loves me like I was his son)
(Daddy's girl)

I recall the day that your young man come to call
It seems like only yesterday, we swam and played football
But I know the time has come
That I must set you free
But no matter where you are
You know what you are to me


(Daddy′s girl, daddy's girl)
(I′m the centre of Daddy's world)
(I know I′m Daddy's number one)
(For he loves me like I was his son)
(Daddy's girl)

(Daddy′s girl, daddy′s girl)
(I'm the centre)
