I looked back to when I tied your shoes.
Curled your hair and it gave you the blues.
Oh what a Christmas Day that was.
I looked back at the way we lived.
Not fit for a man let alone a kid.
I don't deserve any applause.
I have to let you go now.
Let you feel grown up.
The Dad in me, can't let you go.
I'm bonded there with love.
You've gone off to college, to get your Phd.
No matter where you're headed now.
You're "My Little Girl" to me.
I looked back you were five years old.
Your momma and I was a love gone cold.
You Made me smile when I was down.
I looked back, gave the Lord the praise .
For saving my soul, changing my ways .
So I'd be here to love you now.
I have to let you go now. Let you feel grown up.
The Dad in me, can't let you go.
I'm bonded there with love.
You've gone off to college, to get your Phd.
No matter where you're headed now.
You're "My Little Girl" to me.
You've gone off to college, to get your Phd.
No matter where you're headed now.
You're "My Little Girl" to me.
Oh, "My Little Girl" to me.
