His fingers play a hidden melody,
Of love to his beautiful girl
Innocently holding her hand
With the tune he silently twirls
Dark hair winds down
Touches the small of her nude back
A strap slips down from her flowered dress
To grace the voluptuous curves she lacks
Deep sapphire eyes
Locks his gaze in place
The magic glittering overhead
With music, he starts to trace
The guitar in his lap
The coolness of his smile
Melts her heart
As he asks her to stay awhile
His voice carries over the wind
Into an awaiting ear
The little girl next to her
Desperately wants to be near
To be among the traced stars
And swept up in magic's delight
To join the chorus of virgin voices
To be his guiding light
He turns his guitar
Towards the small eager girl
Sets his fingers correctly
And asks his little 'pearl',
"Won't you sing Daddy a song?
The sweet sound of your voice
Makes the universe sing
And all laugh and rejoice."
The soft giggle
Turns the young man's heart
Daddy's Little Girl
Now light years apart
The love lost long ago
In a monster by the sea
Turned the young man's heart to steel
And threw away the key
The sapphire woman
Locked her heart long ago
She lost the magic he once played
The second his key was thrown
The young man, now old
Sits upon his floor
Still holding the guitar he once played
Those many years before
The tears start to fall
It pains him to think
To numb the hole in his heart
He's had too much to drink
Forgotten song, forgotten love
He stands to leave again
Leaving his dusty, magical guitar
Chipped and broken at every end
The little girl, now grown
With the fire of the sapphire eyes
Still awaits the wind at night
Until the day she days
Still waiting for the forgotten songs
And magic she barely touched
Still Daddy's Little Girl
Not grown, so much
