I'm thinking of a girl I used to know br And how, during her life I loved her so br My daughter, daddy's little girl, my angel br Put on a pedestal, I couldn't catch her when she fell br br We were so much alike, she and I br The same things could make us laugh, make us cry br Trips to the zoo, amusement park or playground br When she said 'I love you daddy' happiness I found br br When she was little, there was nothing she could hide br I could always tell what she was feeling inside br Happy or sad, afraid or trying to be brave br If she did something wrong, I always forgave br br As a teen-aged girl she had her secrets br Things that if her father knew might cause regrets br Did he fail her? How did he go wrong? br But no matter what, in his heart she would belong br br As she grew older, the less I knew br My little girl, what happened to you? br Once you would say 'daddy let's play' br Soon it was 'leave me alone, go away! ' br br Being a single father is difficult enough br But having a teen-aged daughter really is rough br Waiting up for her when she goes out on a date br Pray you don't lose it, if he brings her home late br br Then one day, every parent's dread br Policeman at my door, saying my little girl was dead br A motorcycle accident and my life was shattered br Losing the only person who ever really mattered br br Holly my baby, I'm always thinking of you br And then I start crying, what else can I do? br To bear all this pain, I let the tears flow br When I think about you, the girl I used to knowbr br Harry J.
