歌詞
[Verse 1]
I was little in my ball cap
Swinging my feet from the bench
Trying hard to catch your eye
Like it was worth my whole day
You were a good man then
Still you drifted off sometimes
And I learned to love you quiet
While I stood right there in line
[Pre‑Chorus]
I kept reaching for your hand
Kept a place for me
If I say it out loud
Will you finally see
[Chorus]
I'm your daughter
I still am
(I'm your daughter)
Please take my hand
I'm your daughter
Don't forget
I've been Daddy's girl
Since way back where it all began
[Verse 2]
Now I bring my own green eyes
And your laugh lives in my face
There are years we still don't name
Like a storm we never faced
But I know your heart is good
Even when the words run dry
So I send you love on purpose
On the days you pass me by
[Pre‑Chorus]
I kept reaching for your hand
Kept a place for me
If I say it out loud
Will you finally see
[Chorus]
I'm your daughter
I still am
(I'm your daughter)
Please take my hand
I'm your daughter
Don't forget
I've been Daddy's girl
Since way back where it all began
[Bridge]
I don't need perfect
Just a little room
For the girl I was
And the woman in your view
If you miss me
Look again
I'm right hereI never left
[Final Chorus]
I'm your daughter
I still am
(I'm your daughter)
Please take my hand
I'm your daughter
Don't forget
I've been Daddy's girl
Since way back where it all began
I'm your daughter
I Love you, Dad
(I'm your daughter)
That was never in doubt… not from me
