DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL
Karla Bonoff
[Intro]
G F Fm C
[Verse 1]
C Dm G
He was the calm in the storm.
F Em F G
Daddy kept us warm.
C Dm G
And what will I do when he's gone?
F Em F G
How will I carry on?
[Chorus]
G Am G
Yes I know when it's his time to go
Am Am7 Am Fmaj7 F
That I'll have to grow up, too.
G Fmaj7 F Em F
Oh can't I stay right here
C G Fm C
And be Daddy's little girl?
[Verse 2]
C Dm G
So how did the years go so fast,
F Em F G
Or did we just lose track?
C Dm G
So now we can't waste any time
F Em F G
To make each moment mine.
[Chorus]
G Am G
Yes I know when it's his time to go
Am Am7 Am Fmaj7 F
That I'll have to grow up, too.
G Fmaj7 F Em F
Oh can't I stay right here
C G Fm C
And be Daddy's little girl?
[Bridge]
Dm
Time keeps moving, and life keeps passing,
C F
There's still so much to say.
Dm
But I will go on, I will be strong
F G
I will find my way.
[Verse 3]
C Dm G
When I look in the face of the child
F Em F G
I see you in her eyes.
C Dm G
And we are so much the same
F Em F G
I'll carry on your name.
[Chorus]
G Am G
Yes I know that you have to go
Am Am7 Am Fmaj7 F
That I have to grow up, too.
G Fmaj7 F Em F
Oh can't I stay right here
C G Am
And be Daddy's little girl?
G Fmaj7 F Em F
Oh can't I stay right here
C G Fm C
And be Daddy's little girl?
