I look at you and so proud to
And soon will come the day
Your father will take your hand
And give that hand away
Oh little girl of flaxen hair
I bounced upon my knee
I love you so you do not know
My daughter of the sea

Your all grown up and will spread your wings
And fly among the clouds
Don't forget the old man
That stands here in the crowd
Oh little girl of flaxen hair
I bounced upon my knee
I love you so you do not know
My daughter of the sea

I wish I could give you away
But it's not my job nor duty
And I will be content to say
Good luck my child of grace and beauty
Oh little girl of flaxen hair
I bounced upon my knee
I love you so you do not know
My daughter of the sea

When I was young I dreamed some day
A father I would be
Of a girl just like you
And now you go away
Oh little girl of flaxen hair
I bounced upon my knee
I love you so you do not know
My baughter of the sea

So take this note and fold it neet
And place upon your heart
For there I'll be if you need me
Though we're far a part
Oh little girl of flaxen hair
I bounced upon my knee
I love you so you do not know
MY DAUGHTER OF THE SEA
