I can tie my shoes I can match my clothes I can fix my hair And put in my bows But when it's dark at night And dreams leave me scared Daddy I need you to tuck me in tight 'Cause when you wrap your arms around me I feel peace and love And though I'm a big girl now I need a hug from you each night When I go to sleep, I see the stars up in the sky And I just want you to know Daddy I love you Daddy I can't wait Until I'm old enough to drive I'll take you for a ride And we'll go grab a bite But when I come home late sometimes And see you waiting up for me You're there to listen, and help me patiently You're always praying, Dear Lord, keep her safe tonight So I thank you daddy, for a hug from you each night When I go to sleep, I see the stars up in the sky And I just want you to know Daddy I love you Daddy you say, you say that someday I will fly the coup You've shown me how to love and laugh And be strong and brave and true So I know when it's time to be on my own, I'll be a lot like you And I'll pray Dear Lord, please bless Daddy Let him know I'm thankful for the love he has for me When I go to sleep, I see the stars up in the sky And I just want you to know, Daddy I love you, I love you
