Slim Dusty - Daddy\'s Girl lyrics

rate me

Slim]

A whole new life is waiting for you darlin',

Go out to meet your bright new world,

And face your troubles bravely when you meet them,

Show the world you're really daddy's girl.

You're growing up and I know you must go forward,

To meet your young folk in their happy world,

But remember that your dad is still behind you,

And to me you'll always be your daddy's girl.

Growing up is fine and full of fun, Dad

Theres so much that I what to see and do

But when I want to tell someone my troubles,

Then daddy's girl can always come to you.

I know you'll always keep that place for me dad,

And no one else in this big busy world,

Could ever love me just the same as you do,

That's why I'll always be my daddy's girl.

[Slim

I'm proud to see you dressed up for a party,

You look the sweetest girl in all the town,

And when I see your face so bright and smiling,

Oh, I pray your dreams will never let you down.

Love and laughter's waiting 'round the corner,

Maybe there are tears and sorrow too.

And if theyre more than I can take a lone dad,

I know that I can always come to you.

The music and the dancing and the boyfriends,

Are all part of my happy teenage world,

But the best boyfriend Ill ever have is you dad,

But I'm proud to say that I'm my daddy's girl.
