A song I wrote for my wife when her father became ill.
A little girl
Fishing with her Dad
She'd play with the bait
And he'd get mad
But it was all in fun
Who knew this day would come

He'd kiss her head every night
Tuck her into bed and hold her tight
Nobody else did it just right
The way he did
All is love went to his kid

That day I will never forget
Her heart filled up with regret
But you can't change the past
Just cherish every moment and make it last
And remember I'm here for you
I'll do anything I need to do
To try and help you through

After that day came
She was never quite the same
The glisten in her eyes nearly faded away
For the rest of my life I won't forget the day
That daddy's little angel
Became an angel's little girl

In soccer she better try her best
Or he'd pull her out and sit her on the bench
She was always his special girl
To him she meant the world
Her mom was nervous before the game was through
Knowing her daughter would be black and blue
Trying to make her daddy proud
She didn't care who else was around

She moved away from home and felt guilty
She'd say what will I do if he needs me
If that happens we'll get in the car and drive
The last thing I want is to see you cry
I'd make the drive every night
If it would make you feel alright

That day I will never forget
Her heart filled up with regret
But you can't change the past
Just cherish every moment and make it last
And remember I'm here for you
I'll do anything I need to do
To try and help you through

After that day came
She was never quite the same
The glisten in her eyes nearly faded away
For the rest of my life I won't forget the day
That daddy's little angel
Became an angel's little girl
