Daddy Don't Let Go <br><br><br>Pig tails, scraped heels, first day no training wheels <br>Deep breath, third try, I look up and start to cry <br><br>Daddy don't let go <br>I'm so afraid please hold me close <br>I can't do this on my own <br>Please Daddy, don't let go <br><br>White dress, gold band, it's time Daddy takes my hand <br>I smile, he knows, this aisle leads to my new home <br><br>Through life's uncertainty, I will always be <br>Daddy's little girl unconditionally <br>And as the years go by through this circle we call life <br>The tears and sacrifice teach taught me <br>What love truly means <br><br>Phone call, 3 am, first flight to Galveston <br>Bedside, Daddy turns for worse, on my knees <br>I pray these words

When the sun goes down and it´s getting late<br>You say it´s time for bed<br>She just takes her time<br>Acting like she never heard a word you said<br><br>Little baby wanna hold you tight<br>She don´t ever wanna say good night<br>She´s a lover, she wanna be daddy´s girl<br><br>When the morning comes<br>And it´s time to go start another day<br>She won´t let you leave, and she does her best<br>To try to make you stay<br><br>Pretty baby gonna start to cry<br>She don´t ever wanna say good bye<br>She´s a lover, she wanna be Daddy´s Girl<br><br>She don´t ever wanna be without you<br>Never have to worry she won´t doubt you<br>Then she puts her head upon your shoulder<br>Says she´ll marry you when she get older<br><br>When the time has come, and she´s old enough<br>To be on her own<br>She won´t understand why you´re feelin´ sad<br>Cause she´s leaving you all alone<br><br>Little woman gonna make you cry<br>You don´t ever wanna say good bye<br>She´s a lady, she´ll always be Daddy´s Girl<br><br>Little woman gonna break your heart<br>Gonna miss her when you´re both apart<br>She´s a lady, but she´ll always be Daddy´s Girl<br><br>She´ll always be Daddy´s Girl<br>She´ll always be Daddy´s Girl<br>She´ll always be Daddy´s Girl<br>She´ll always be Daddy´s Girl<br>She´ll always be Daddy´s Girl<br>She´ll always be Daddy´s Girl

I recall the night that you came into this world.<br>I couldn't believe the doctor when he said: 'It's a little girl.'<br>I said: 'Now Doc, you must be wrong. You see I want a boy.'<br>Then he laid you in my arms and my heart sang with joy.<br><br>(Daddy's Girl, Daddy's Girl,<br>(I'm the center of Daddy's world.<br>(I know I'm Daddy's number one,<br>(For he loves me like I was his son.<br>(Daddy's Girl.)<br><br>I recall the day I took you to a baseball game.<br>You brought along your baby doll and half its' baby things.<br>We sat there a-playin' house, while the Dodgers played the Braves.<br>And ev'ryone in the bleachers looked at us as if to say.<br><br>(Daddy's Girl, Daddy's Girl,<br>(I'm the center of Daddy's world.<br>(I know I'm Daddy's number one,<br>(For he loves me like I was his son.<br>(Daddy's Girl.)<br><br>I recall the day I took you on a fishin' trip,<br>You said: 'Daddy won't that hook hurt the fishes' lip?'<br>And you said if they don't get air, those things in the can will die.<br>So we turned the worms all loose and chased some butterflies.<br><br>(Daddy's Girl, Daddy's Girl,<br>(I'm the center of Daddy's world.<br>(I know I'm Daddy's number one,<br>(For he loves me like I was his son. (Daddy's Girl)<br><br>I recall the day that your young man come to call.<br>Seems like only yesterday, you swam and played football.<br>But I know the time has come, that I must set you free.<br>But no matter where you are, you know what you are to me.<br><br>(Daddy's Girl, Daddy's Girl,<br>(I'm the center of Daddy's world.<br>(I know I'm Daddy's number one,<br>(For he loves me like I was his son.<br>(Daddy's Girl.)<br><br>To fade...<br><br>(Daddy's Girl, Daddy's Girl,<br>(I'm the center of Daddy's world.<br>(I know I'm Daddy's number one,<br>(For he loves me like I was his son.<br>(Daddy's Girl.)

I remember Daddy´s hands<br>Folded silently in prayer<br>And reaching out to hold me<br>When I had a nightmare<br>You could read quite a story<br>In the callouses and lines<br>Years of work and worry<br>Had left their mark behind<br><br>I remember Daddy´s hands<br>How they held my Mama tight<br>And patted my back<br>For something done right<br>There are things I´ve forgotten<br>That I loved about the man<br>But I´ll always remember<br>The love in Daddy´s hands<br><br>Daddy´s hands<br>Were soft and kind when I was cryin´<br>Daddy´s hands<br>Were hard as steel when I´d done wrong<br>Daddy´s hands<br>Weren´t always gentle but I´d come to understand<br>There was always love in Daddy´s hands<br><br>I remember Daddy´s hands<br>Working til they bled<br>Sacrificed unselfishly<br>Just to keep us all fed<br>If I could do things over<br>I´d live my life again<br>And never take for granted<br>The love in Daddy´s hands<br><br><br>Daddy´s hands<br>Were soft and kind when I was cryin´<br>Daddy´s hands<br>Were hard as steel when I´d done wrong<br>Daddy´s hands<br>Weren´t always gentle but I´d come to understand<br>There was always love in Daddy´s hands<br><br><br>Daddy´s hands<br>Were soft and kind when I was cryin´<br>Daddy´s hands<br>Were hard as steel when I´d done wrong<br>Daddy´s hands<br>Weren´t always gentle but I´d come to understand<br>There was always love ............ in Daddy´s hands

Always running like I'm racing, road keeps spinning while I'm trying to chase it down.
Always sooner never later and I only know one way to slow it down.
I wanna hear you breathing, feel your head there on my shoulder,
Man this whole crazy life is moving way to fast

I wanna dance real slow
Put your arms around me
Let me hold you close
Girl I wanna hear you tell me
Don't let go
I love it when we dance real slow

We can go out honky-tonking or stay here where no one's watching, me and you
Light a candle in the kitchen, I can clear a spot out if you want me to. Put on a record, find a station on the radio
If it's too rocking all we gotta do is close our eyes and

Dance real slow
Put your arms around me
Let me hold you close
Girl I wanna hear you tell me
Don't let go
I love it when we dance real slow

Like we're the only people left in the world
There ain't nobody here but me and you girl
What you say we give it a whirl?

Girl I wanna hear you tell me
Don't let go
I love it when we dance real slow

Back when I was a child<br>Before life removed all the innocence<br>My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then<br>Spin me around ‘til I fell asleep<br>Then up the stairs he would carry me<br>And I knew for sure I was loved<br><br>If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him<br>I’d play a song that would never ever end<br>How I’d love, love, love<br>To dance with my father again<br><br>When I and my mother would disagree<br>To get my way I would run from her to him<br>He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah yeah..<br>Then finally make me do just what my moma said<br>Then about night when i want to sleep<br>He left a dollar under my sheet<br>Never dreamed that he would be gone from me<br><br>If i could steal one final glance, one final step<br>One final dance with him<br>I'd play a song that would never ever end<br>'Cause I'd love, love, love, love<br>To dance with my father again<br><br>Sometimes I’d listen outside her door<br>And I’d hear how mama cried for him<br>I pray for her even more than me<br>I pray for her even more than me<br><br>I know I’m praying for much too much<br>But could you send back the only man she loved<br>I know you don’t do it usually<br>But dear Lord she’s dying<br>To dance with my father again<br>Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
