Bilingual
She doesn't laugh as much as she used to
And SpongeBob doesn't mean what he did
Mickey Mouse was once her whole wide world
Not anymore, I don't think that he is
She once watched the moon with her daddy
She would sit there and watch on his lap
But now she sits with tears in her ebony eyes
Wondering when will my daddy be coming back
She asked about the flag draped on his casket
She don't know that he lived through Afghanistan
Then a fool with a gun right on her block took her daddy from her
She's three years old and can't understand
Piggyback rides, seesaws and slides
Sunday afternoon sitting in the park
She watches other kids with their daddies
But she watches with a broken heart
She releases a balloon every Sunday
It rises as warm breezes swirl
It carries a message inside it
"Love you daddy, from your little girl"
Daddy used to make funny faces
As she smiled, his mind took photographs
He said there's never been a song written
Near as beautiful as her little laugh
She kisses his picture every morning
And talks to Jesus about him every night
Although time will rob her of her memories
But now her heart holds his memory tight
She dreams of the last time he held her
He reached up and touched her soft curls
He kissed her and whispered, "I love you
And remember, you're still daddy's little girl"
Piggyback rides, seesaws and slides
Sunday afternoon sitting in the park
She watches other kids with their daddies
But she watches with a broken heart
She releases a balloon every Sunday
It rises as warm breezes swirl
It carries a message inside it
"Remember you, remember you, remember you
Still daddy's little girl"
I love you baby
You'll always be my little girl
