One More Year Of Daddies Little Girl

She'd snuggle up and talk to me

Each night as I watched TV

I'd teasingly call her chatterbox

Then one night she said don't be scared

I see an angel on the stairs

Daddy can you hear the angel talk



One more year of lollipops

Ice cream cones and soda pop

One more year of daddy's little girl

One more year of crackerjacks, bubblegum

And sugar smacks

One more year of daddy's little girl



I took her in my arms upstairs

And as she said her night time prayers

I felt a fever burning in her head

She gave thanks for mom and me

And said I heard my angel speak

Daddy this is what my angel said



Repeat chorus



Her faith grew strong her body weak

And soon my frightened eyes could see

There was nothing on earth that I could do

And one year later to the day in her sleep

She slipped away and I knew what she had

Said and heard was true



One more year of lollipops ice cream cones

And soda pop one more year of daddy's little girl

One more year of crackerjacks bubblegum and

Sugar smacks one more year of daddy's little girl

One more year of daddy's little girl
