Daddy's Little Girl

He was her world,
She was daddy's little girl, 
All she had was him since momma died, 
She lost a mother, he lost a wife.

He spoiled her in all ways he could,
And made it his point of duty: ensuring she understood; 
You can't have everything you want, 
And a shot at education: never pass up the chance.

He loved her with all his heart and never left it unsaid;
He knew how badly she needed to know someone cared.
She was so young when momma died, 
But daddy filled the empty space in her life.
He was her rock, she was his, 
They were each others will to live. 

It was a tragic moment that night daddy died, 
Now she's lost the only family she had.
She'd just gotten over losing her mother 
And now she's lost her father, 
Her hearts broken in pieces again 
And just when she'd finished piecing it back together.
