(Hazel Smith)

|
She'd snuggle up and talk to me
|
Each night as I'd watch TV
|
I'd teasingly call her chatter-box
|
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 cracker jacks, bubble gum 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 Mum and me
|
And said, "I heard my angel speak
|
Daddy this is what my angel said
|
|
One more year of lollipops, ice-cream cones and soda pop
|
One more year of Daddy's little girl
|
One more year of cracker jacks, bubble gum and sugar smacks
|
One more year of Daddy's little girl
|
|
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'd 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 cracker jacks, bubble gum and sugar smacks
|
One more year of Daddy's little girl
|
|
One more year of Daddy's little girl
