lyrics

Somewhere out there in this great big world
Living your life my precious girl
Haven't held you since you were 2
Yet every day I think of you

showing the world a happy face
just keep on moving place to place
beaten down, my heart aches
everything I'm given someone else takes

Every place I go, no matter where
I see the girl with the dirty blond hair
I see you there
Nothing more I regret in the whole wide world
Than losing the battle for you
You need to know you're daddy's little girl

I hope you grow up strong, and turn out right
and someone kisses you good night
hope you love yourself, and go to school
and work real hard be no ones fool
hope you travel the world and swim in the sea
but most of all do better than me
reach for the stars aim for the moon
I'll still be waiting here for you

Every place I go, no matter where
I see the girl with the dirty blond hair
I see you there
Nothing more I regret in the whole wide world
Than not being there for you
Daddy's little girl
