Lyrics Daddy's Little Girl - Marc Roberts

With tear filled eyes
She said goodbye to the country
And she watched till her Daddy's face faded away
Eighteen and full of dreams
Of bright lights and limousines
So different from the world she'd left behind

Now the city looked so big and so inviting
The land where hopes and dreams were realized
She called collect to say she's fine
And sure she'd call another time
But it never really put his mind at ease

Cos you see little girls
Don't stay little girls for long
They grow up and try
To make it on their own
And he wanted her to know
No matter where she'd stay or go
She'd always be her Daddy's little girl

Work was hard and time it passed so quickly
Her hours alone were few and far between
One day she received a telegram
Please come home it's your old man
He hasn't got much time or so they say

With hand on heart she went back to the country
She couldn't believe her eyes
How much it changed
Her Dad was old and so in pain
But glad to see her face again
Reaching for her hand these words he said

Little girls don't stay
Little girls for long
You grew up and now
You've made it on your own
And when I'm dead and gone
I hope these words will make you strong
'Cos you'll always be your Daddy's little girl
Yes, you'll always be your Daddy's little girl.
