Daddy will you hold me
I've only just been born
I'm cold and lonely
In this new world
...
There's a very tricky concept
That I don't get
Though I try
When they wake me in the morning
...
He got it from a bucket
At the yard sale down the street
He knew right away I'd like it
And said that it was cheap
...
Daddy
Daddy will you hold me
I've only just been born
I'm cold and lonely
In this new world
And I know you'll keep me warm
Daddy can you bounce me
Up there upon your knee
I'll fly high
Just like a fairy
I'll feel so very free
Daddy take me shopping
I really want to go
I've got this dress
But not the shoes
To wear out to the show
Daddy will you trust me
I'm growing bigger now
He's just a boy
I chose him well
Because you showed me how
Daddy meet my daughter
She's extra precious, see
I'll hold and love her always
She'll be a princess
Just like me
Daddy growing older
Can be so very fun
I love the way
You still laugh and play
And carry on with Mum
Daddy please don't leave me
How do I say goodbye
To the man who shaped me
Taught me loved me
And held me when I cried
Daddy though you're gone now
I really hope you know
That you were never not my hero
And I'll always love you so.
