Once pigtails and stuffed animals
Daddy's little girl.
Now cell phones and first cars
our minds in such a whirl.
Our daughter's grown up
turning 18 today.
So strong and so beautiful
trying to find your own way.
Life is just beginning
the world is yours to take.
We hope we've taught you well
and you've learned from our mistakes.
We've loved you and protected you
now it's time to let you fly.
Though a woman stands before us
forever Daddy's girl in our eyes!
