Daddy's Little Girl
He stuck my pictures that he called beautiful with a butterfly magnet to the refrigerator
And we raced to see who could finish one whole baconator
I was never fat, only BEAUTIFUL
He held my hands and spun me in a circle while we listened to 'Cinderella'
And lifted me up up up so I could touch the ceiling
Or maybe even the clouds, I was that high
He baked french toast with me and let me stir the egg and milk batter
And then we gave my cat, Gingersnap, some so he could grow fatter
We laughed so hard when Ginger got some up his nose
We had a pillow fight and rolled all over the bed so we had to make it up again
And he tickled me so hard I had a giggle fit and fell right off the bed
But don't worry! He caught me
And held me just in case I was hurt and would cry
But I didn't and he still hugged me for some time
He loved me so so much
He held my hand tightly when we crossed the street
And he mussed up my hair after I had made it neat
Pretended I had a quarter in my ear
He pushed me oh so high on the swings and made sure I didn't fall
He had me flying and I never once touched the ground at all
And I was safe
He kissed my nose and tucked me into bed all warm and snug and cuddly
He told me he loved me, turned out the light, and promised to be there in the morning
And for that one night, for that one dream I was
My daddy's little girl
