When I was just a little girl
While my friends all played with dolls
I was daddy¹s helper
Building bookshelves for the walls
He was always fixing things
Or building something new
He taught me how to hammer
And I would build things too

CHORUS:
If I could wish for just one thing
I would sing it to the world
That I love to spend my time with him
Being Daddy¹s little girl
When I couldn¹t sleep at night
He would sit down by my bed
His songs would fill the emptiness
And would stay inside my head
His favorite song was Nature Boy
Now it¹s my favorite too
I sing it to my children
Just like daddy use to do

CHORUS
If I could turn back the hands of time
I would sit upon his knee
With his crooked smile and funny faces
Looking back at me
When his life was over
There came a flood of tears
I remembered how he loved me
And he taught me through the years
He would tell me silly stories
And I¹m sure that Daddy knows
Just how much I love him
And how I miss him so
If I could wish for just one thing
I would sing it to the world
I would wish for one more chance to be
daddy's little girl
