Lyrics
THAT'S MY DAUGHTER
Every day at breakfast, I read the morning news.
She sits right beside me, watching her cartoons.
I drop her off at kindergarten and wait 'til she's in line.
She turns around, then she smiles and gives me the "thumbs-up" sign.
That's my daughter.
She's barely half my size.
That's my daughter.
She's got my blue eyes.
I love her more than all the world.
I'm her hero, she's daddy's girl.
I'm proud to say,
That's my daughter.
Too many interruptions at the office all day long.
So I leave clear instructions to hold all my calls.
Except the one I'll always take, that little voice I know,
"Daddy, I miss you, when will you be home?"
(Repeat CHORUS)
When I come home for dinner, she jumps into my arms.
"Daddy, look what I made in school today with cotton balls and yarn."
We play until her bedtime, her favorite book again.
Then it's hugs and kisses before I tuck her in.
(Repeat CHORUS)
