Steve Wright: Music
Daughters And Dads
(Steve Wright)
Little angel sleep and dream of teddy bears and ice cream
Melt a hole in your heart
Dirty face and baseball mitt, teach that little girl to spit
Run and leap right into your arms,
run and leap right into your arms
Dressed in dads old shirts and jeans, fishing by the old mill stream
Life can't get better than that
Then its long dress and high school prom, dance with Jimmy all night long
I don't think my heart was ready for that,
I know my heart wasn't ready for that.
(CH)
Daughters grow up in your arms, in your heart
And take up all of your day
Well you twice turn 'round, your whole world's upside down
I guess daughters and dads are that way
I guess daughters and dads are that way
Something old something new, something borrowed, something blue
Never cut like it did on that day
The precious things most dear to you, you love and hold but before you're through
You must graciously give them away.
I guess daughters and dads are that way
(CH)
Daughters grow up in your arms, in your heart
And take up all of your day
Well you twice turn 'round, your whole world's upside down
'Cause they grow up and they move away
I guess daughters and dads are that way.
Now little angel sleep and dream of teddy bears and ice cream
Melt a hole in my heart
Dirty face baseball mitt, I'll teach your little girl to spit Run and leap right into my arms,
Run and leap into Granddad's arms
(CH)
Daughters grow up in your arms, in your heart
And take up all of your day
When your whole world's upside down, they'll come back around
Just to make sure you're okay
I guess daughters and dads are that way
I guess daughters and dads are that way
