Daddy’s little girl

D G

1. She'd snuggle up and talk to me each night as I'd watch TV,

D A D

I'd teasingly call her chatter-box.

D G

Then one night she said, "Don't be scared, I see an angel on the stairs,

D A D - D7

Daddy can you hear the angel talk?"

G A G D

One more year of lollipops, ice-cream cones and soda pop,

G A D - D7

one more year of Daddy's little girl.

G A G D

One more year of cracker jacks, bubble gum and sugar smacks,

G A D

one more year of Daddy's little girl.

D G

2. I took her in my arms upstairs and as she said her night-time prayers,

D A D

I felt a fever burning in her head..

D G

She gave thanks for Mum and me, and said, "I heard my angel speak,

D A D - D7

Daddy this is what my angel said. + CHORUS

D

3. Her faith grew strong, her body weak,

G

and soon my frightened eyes could see,

D A D

there was nothing on earth that I could do.

D G

And one year later, to the day, in her sleep, she slipped away,

D A D - D7

and I knew what she'd said and heard was true.

G A D

+ CHORUS + One more year of Daddy's little girl.
