Lyr Req: One More Year of Daddy's Little Girl

This song was done by Dr. Hook (or maybe just Ray Sawyer). Does anyone have the words?

Thanks....Tiger

Yet another try. No, it's not "Daddy's Little Girl" frequently sung at wedding receptions. Thanx......Tiger

100% One More Year Of Daddy's Little Girl (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 angle talk. http://home.sol.no/arbraath/Lyrics/daddys.htm, 1515 bytes, 17Jun97

Tiger, it seems that this song has been on the web, but the link didn't work for me, so the above is all I could copy. If it is an on-and-off link, you might be more lucky another time.

could it be this? I found it on a Bob Dylan site

ONE MORE YEAR OF DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL (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 cracker jacks, 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 nighht-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 I 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 heart was true

Chorus

Wolfgang

Thanks, Wolfgang, that's the one. Now if I can only get through. That site seems to be sort of a Scandinavian AOL, so I expect users come and go.

I had never picked this up in a search, but the Hazel Smith part helps. I found an article which said Dr. Hook had recorded nine of her songs.

Thanks again.....Tiger

Wolfgang, you win the prize. You don't suppose Dylan sings it, do you. It's doesn't seem his type......Tiger

They use the expression "Dylan repertoire", but I haven't seen any trace of this song on other Dylan sites.
What a beautiful sad song that is. I have never encountered it before. But it was fun locating it.
