Daddy's Girl

I took this picture last month and I just love how Ellie is becoming more and more of a Daddy's Girl. Especially because I was so much growing up with my dad. The song below is the theme song for my dad and me and my sister -- we both sang it at a ward talent show once . . . and hope maybe Ellie and Darik will carry on the tradition in the future.

DADDY'S GIRL
Recorded by Red Sovine
Words and music by Glen Martin

I recall the night ... That you came into this world
I couldn't believe the doctor when he said, "It's a little girl."
I said, "Now Doc you must be wrong ...You see I want a boy.
"Then he laid you in my arms And my heart sang with joy.

Daddy's Girl ... Daddy's Girl ...
I'm the center of Daddy's world ...
I know I'm Daddy's number one
For he loves me like I was his son
Daddy's Girl.

I recall the day I took you to a baseball game
You brought along your baby doll and half its' baby things
We sat there a-playin' house, while the Dodgers played the Braves
And everyone in the bleachers, looked at us as if to say.

Daddy's Girl ... Daddy's Girl ...
I'm the center of Daddy's world ...
I know I'm Daddy's number one
For he loves me like
I was his son Daddy's Girl.

I recall the day I took you on a fishin' trip
You said, "Daddy won't that hook hurt the fishes' lip?"
And you said if they don't get air Those things in the can will die
So we turned the worms all loose And chased some butter flies.

Daddy's Girl ... Daddy's Girl ...
I'm the center of Daddy's world ...
I know I'm Daddy's number one
For he loves me like I was his son
Daddy's Girl.

I recall the daythat your young man came to call
Seems like only yesterday, you swam and played football
But I know the time has come, that I must set you free
But no matter where you are, you know what you are to me.

Daddy's Girl ... Daddy's Girl ...
I'm the center of Daddy's world ...
I know I'm Daddy's number one
For he loves me like I was his son
Daddy's Girl.
