Daddy’s Little Girl

There is just something about Daddy’s and their little girls.  Just watching Matt with Gracie makes me fall in love with him all over again.  I love to watch them play together or come up with a plan to over rule what I had just said (i.e. going out for ice cream.)  I love to see them watch movies together, read books, or run around the yard.  The love Matt has for Gracie is one that only girls and their Daddy’s have.  It is a love so sweet, so pure, and so strong, nothing can break the bond they have.  I have talked about Gracie and Matt’s favorite book titled “Dance Me Daddy” a least two or three times.  Well, what I haven’t talked about is the song that is a lot like the book that Point of Grace sings.  The song is based after the book and Gracie likes to listen to it, as most songs these days, it’s her song! ha ha.  Either way, every time I listen to it, I think of the love that is shared between Matt and Gracie.  Her face just lights up any time he comes home or surprises her with anything. It is so super sweet.  I thought in celebration of  Father’s Day I would share the lyrics with you….

“King of the World”

Spinning around on the tops of his feet
Smiles of the angels could not be so sweet
Wide blue eyes And piggy-tails swirl
She's her daddy's girl

Cause he knows the jokes that always make her laugh
He takes her for ice cream instead of her nap
At the end of the day by the light of the moon
They turn up the music and there in the room
And she yells

"Dance me! Dance me around till my feet don't ever touch down
There's nothin' better than bein' your girl
And if I am your princess than daddy
You are the king of the world!"

It's funny how life moves in circles at times
To think not so long ago that face was mine
Houses get smaller we take different names
But some things in life stay the same

"Dance me! Dance me around till my feet don't ever touch down
There's nothin' better than bein your girl
And if I am your princess than daddy
You are the king of the world!"

Cause some day she'll go off and find a life of her own
Marry a good man and make a happy home
Until she comes back and sees with those same eyes
What time can not disguise
She walks through the door with that look on her face
Cause daddy’s brown hair has all turned to gray
They talk for hours they cry and they laugh
Watchin' old movies and thinkin' back
And just as she turns to go
She says, "hey dad, how bout one for the road"

"Dance me! Dance me around till my feet don't ever touch DOWN!
There's nothin' better than bein your girl
And if I am your princess than daddy
You are the king of the world!"

Spinning around on the tops of his feet
Smiles of the angels could not be so sweet.
