One More Year Of Daddy's Little Girl
Performed by Dr. Hook
Written by Hazel Smith

She'd snuggle up and talk to me
Each night as I'd watch TV,
I'd teasingly call her chatterbox.
Then one night she said:
"Don't be scared, I see an angel on the stairs.
Daddy, can you hear the angel talk?"

CHORUS
One more year of lollipops,
Ice cream cones and soda pop,
One more year of daddy's little girl.
One more year of crackerjacks,
Bubble gum and sugar smacks,
One more year of daddy's little girl.

I took her in my arms upstairs
And as she said her night-time prayers,
I felt a fever burning in her head.
She gave thanks for Mom and me,
And said "I heard my angel speak,
Daddy, this is what he said:

CHORUS

Her faith grew strong her body weak,
And soon my frightened eyes could see
There was nothing on earth that I could do.
And one year later, to the day,
In her sleep she slipped away,
And I knew what she said and heard was true.

CHORUS
