Song For A Daughter

A My darlin', my baby, little girl D I watched you come into this world D A I looked down at you, you smiled back at me D E A The prettiest thing I’d ever seen A I'd buy you a new Sunday dress D With a locket from grandma's old chest D A F#m A Skip-to-My-Lou, a tea party for two D E A Just some of my memories of you D A Little girl, little girl D A Little girl, little girl E A You’ll always be my little girl A I knew the day would come D When you'd fall in love with someone D A F#m Had to let go your hand, stand back with the band D E A And watch as your new life had begun A Oh, my baby, my darlin' little girl D Won't you take a lesson from this world D A F#m Life's peaches and cream ain't always what it seems D E A But don't let that darken your dreams A D A F#m D E A A Now the future's turned into the past D And the years have gone by far too fast D When I’m over and done A F#m Know you were the one D E A That made the love in my heart last D When I’m over and done A F#m Know you were the one D E A That made the love in my heart last D A Little girl, little girl D A Little girl, little girl E A You'll always be my little girl E A You’ll always be your daddy's little girl
