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
