I pull into the driveway
|
She meets me with a grin
|
Those little arms swung around my neck
|
The minute I walked in
|
Daddy I wrote my abc's
|
Daddy I drew a tree
|
daddy I learned about myself
|
Here's what she showed to me
|
|
Here's my chin, it goes with my grin
|
Here's my nose, my belly button and my toes
|
These are my fingers, teacher says my eyes are blue
|
Here's a heart I colored dad,I made it just for you
|
|
Rusty wore out scrap book had so much more to say
|
Kindegarden through high school and graduation day
|
Then I came upon that paper heart from so many years before
|
And I placed it where it once had hung,the refridgerator door
|
|
Now there she is next to a boy who stands six at feet tall
|
And I heard that little voice again echo up and down the hall
|
|
Here's my chin, it goes with my grin
|
Here's my nose, my belly button and my toes
|
Here's my fingers, teacher says my eyes are blue
|
Here's a heart I colored dad, I made it just for you
|
Here's a heart I colored dad, I made it just for you
|
How I love that paper heart it touches my heart so
|
