Hey, Hey, sweet daughter
I'm so proud to be your father
Each day is like a gift from God
Hey, Hey, sweet daughter
There's no music like your laughter
And your smile is like the rising sun
You know I've loved you from the start
So come in close, take my hand
While daddy shares his heart
I wish that I could be your everything
Be the one to give you all the things you need
Sometimes I'm gonna let you down
There's someone if you just believe
He'll be your hero like He's always been for me
Darling, Jesus is the One you need
No matter what you walk through
He will always love you
Just the way you are
For there's nothing in this world
That I want for my baby girl
Than to be happy ever after
The story of your life is still untold
I pray the king of all the universe
Would make your heart His home
I wish that I could be your everything
Be the one to give you all the things you need
Sometimes I'm gonna let you down
There's someone if you just believe
He'll be your hero like he's always been for me
Darling, Jesus is the One
Who will never leave, he's been there all along
Oh when you're ready, you can find True Love
I wish that I could be your everything
Be the one to give you all the things you need
Sometimes I'm gonna let you down
There's someone if you just believe
He'll be your hero like He's always been for me
Darling, Jesus is the One you need
