'My Precious Little Girl'
Author Unknown


As I lean into your crib
And give you a gentle kiss
I realize it's you I'm living for
Cause I was just an empty shell
Always thinkin' 'bout myself
Then a light swept over me
the very moment you were born
My precious little girl
You are my everything
You came into this world
And you made a true believer out of me
Honey you touched my soul
And now I know the meaning of life
It's right there in your smile
Right there in your eyes
My precious little girl
All those years I thought I knew
But I never had a clue
'Til I held you in my arms and saw that smile
Now I know how angels fly
How it feels to touch the sky
And how miracles comes true
between a father and his child
My precious little girl
You are my everything
You came into this world
And you made a true believer out of me
Honey you touched my soul
And now I know the meaning of life
It's right there in your smile
Right there in your eyes
My precious little girl
Yes I know one day you will fly away
So just remember I am here for you
until my dying day!
My precious little girl
You are my everything
You came into this world
And you made a true believer out of me
Honey you touched my soul
And now I know the meaning of life
It's right there in your smile
Right there in your eyes
My precious little girl
My precious little girl
Precious little girl
