She was sent here from heaven, and she's daddy's little girl.

As I drop to my knees by her bed at night,
Dm            C         F           G

      F              G          C         F
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life,
            G

One part woman, the other part girl.
    Dm         C            F           G
To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls.
F            G              C          F              G
Trying her wings out in a great big world. But I remember...

I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
