As I was walking down third avenue
as I was feeling too much like a woman
as my back rose strong and straight
as a thought popped up I stopped
looked around
myself
to remember the size of this world
to remember I just want to be
Daddy's, Daddy's little girl
If only you could see his hands
if only you could know the corner of his arms
if only you could hear his voice when he said;
if there were only you and me
you little girl, you little girl
If only there were only us
and I would never grow up
if only I could hear that voice again
I'd stay the same
as I was feeling too much like a woman

to remember the size of this world

Daddy's, Daddy's little girl
If only you could see his hands
if only you could know the corner of his arms
if only you could hear his voice when he said;
if there were only you and me
you little girl, you little girl
If only there were only us
