Lyrics:

I'm standin' on the inside lookin' out
Through these lonely eyes of mine
I keep on going back to when
We used to be together all the time
And you were all the good things in my life
Like the wind that finds the trees
You were daddy's little girl
And there were never moments such as these

And baby, when I close my eyes at night
I see you laugh, I see you cry
And I memorize these little things
The broken arms, the empty swings go flyin' by
Maybe if I held you in my arms I'd get the chance
To say the words I know that I should say:

You'll be daddy's little girl
No matter how the years may slip away

And you must stand alone
Fight forever
When it feels like you just can't go on
You should reach out
But you don't ever

And I should be the one you lean upon
And I remember when you fell in love
I hoped that day would never come
But he just kept his motor running
I took a break, and you were gone
And I almost stopped believing in your face and in your voice
And you're my only vision when I pray

And you'll be daddy's little girl
No matter how the years may slip away
And you'll be daddy's little girl
No matter how the years may slip away
