Lyrics
I Love You Baby Girl (Neil Cotton/Dai Crowther Jan 08)
1.
I feel your love as it overflows
In the form of happy tears, it really shows
You smile so wide, so proud and bright
The first steps that she takes, ah what a sight
Chorus 1:
I watch you reach to fold her in your arms
Then say sweetly from your heart
You’re my world... and I love you baby girl
2.
I can feel your love surrounding me
As I follow you into her nursery
Her paradise for sweet repose
No hues of blues but pinks & rose
Chorus 2:
I watch you tuck her up, safe in her crib
Can barely hear you whisp’rin’
You’re my world... and I love you baby girl
Bridge:
Watching you, watching her
Makes me proud to be your Dad
Like her to you, you are to me
I’m not cryin’ cos I’m sad
Its cos… I love you baby girl
Tag/Chorus:
You’re my daughter all grown up
Like you’re her Mom, I’ll always be your Dad
That we can share these moments here
Makes me humble and it makes me glad
Watching you, watching her
Makes me proud to be your Dad
You’re my world... and I love you baby girl
And I love you baby girl… baby girl
