A little girl goes out to play
Daddy comes home from his day
She wraps her arms around his leg
He bends and kisses her sweet head.
She grows up strong she grows up smart
He thinks he helped her get a start
She didn't know all that he'd done
She only knew he was The One.
He was The One who tucked her in every night
He was The One who held her hand when she was frightened
He was The One who came home each and every day
She only knew he was The One.
A teenaged girl but not too tall
To run to Daddy when she'd fall
To help her learn to drive a car
To tell her she could be a star.
And when she said she'd met a man
Who'd stay with her, who had a plan
He knew the time had come at last
It seemed she'd grown up too too fast.
He was The One who tucked her in every night
He was The One who held her hand when she was frightened
He was The One who came home each and every day
She only knew he was The One.
A little girl goes out to play
Daddy comes home from his day
She wraps her arms around his leg
He bends and kisses her sweet head.
