She was sent here from heaven, and she's daddy's little girl.
     Dm          C/E           F          G,.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night, |.
Dm            C/E         F           G
she talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes.
      F/A              G/B          C         F
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life,

She's looking like her momma a little more everyday.

One part woman, the other part girl.
    Dm         C/E            F           G
To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls.

Trying her wings out in a great big world. But I remember...
