Daddy, I Love You

I can tie my shoes
I can match my clothes
I can fix my hair
And put in my bows
But when it's dark at night
And dreams leave me scared
Daddy I need you to tuck me in tight

'Cause when you wrap your arms around me
I feel peace and love
And though I'm a big girl now
I need a hug from you each night
When I go to sleep, I see the stars up in the sky
And I just want you to know
Daddy I love you

Daddy I can't wait
Until I'm old enough to drive
I'll take you for a ride
And we'll go grab a bite
But when I come home late sometimes
And see you waiting up for me
You're there to listen, and help me patiently

You're always praying, Dear Lord, keep her safe tonight
So I thank you daddy, for a hug from you each night
When I go to sleep, I see the stars up in the sky
And I just want you to know
Daddy I love you

Daddy you say, you say that someday I will fly the coup
You've shown me how to love and laugh
And be strong and brave and true
So I know when it's time to be on my own, I'll be a lot like you

And I'll pray Dear Lord, please bless Daddy
Let him know I'm thankful for the love he has for me
When I go to sleep, I see the stars up in the sky
And I just want you to know, Daddy I love you, I love you
