He was the calm in the storm
Daddy kept us warm
(and) What will I do when he's gone
How will I carry on

Yes I know when it's his time to go
That I'll have to grow up too
Oh can't I stay right here
And be daddy's little girl

So how did the years go so fast
Or did we just lose track
So now we can't waste any time
I'll make each moment mine

Yes I know when it's his time to go...

The time keeps moving
Life keeps passing
There's still so much to say
But I will go on
I will be strong
I will find my way

When I look in the face of the child
I see you in her eyes
And we're all so much the same
We'll carry on your name

Yes I know when that you have to go
And I have to grow up too
Oh can't I stay right here and be daddy's little girl
Oh can't I stay right here and be daddy's little girl
