lyrics

Don’t remember if I remember;
Or just remember being told,
But I know that they were warm days,
Honeyed drops of liquid gold.

Your hands so big and steady,
Your arms the equator of my world,
You tried so hard to make us ready,
I’d always be your baby girl.

Dah Dee, Dah Dee, Da Da Da Da Da Dee, Daddy.

You taught me lots about grace and mercy,
Like when your lie-in you were forced to skip,
And you were cross coz it was really early,
But then you took us on a riverboat trip.

Your hands so big and steady,
Your arms the equator of my world,
You tried so hard to make us ready,
I’d always be your baby girl.

And I rolled my eyes each time,
You said my beauty was not just on the inside,
I said it didn’t mean much
Coming from my Dad – but it did.

And of course you made mistakes;
Sometimes you pushed us and we ran,
But at least you let us watch you trying,
To be made a better man

You told us we were peaceful warriors,
Urged us to be brave and kind.
And I’m smiling now coz I know that,
If you hear this there’ll be tears in your eyes.

Your hands so big and steady,
Your arms the equator of my world,
You tried so hard to make us ready,
I’d always be your baby girl.

Dah Dee, Dah Dee, Da Da Da Da Da Dee, Daddy.
