Sometimes a girl needs a daddy

To give daddy hugs-

                    What does that feel like

To hold her when she cries

And wipe her tears away-

                          Would he use a thumb or index finger?

To tuck her in before bed

And kiss her goodnight-

                        I wonder what that would be like

Sometimes a girl needs a daddy

To make her laugh-

                     Wouldn't that be nice

To teach her things

And show exemplary character-

                               What lessons did I miss?

To be the moon in her sky-

                             I wonder if he makes her life bright

Sometimes- just sometimes-

                                 a girl needs a daddy
