OK... just wanted to give all you daughters out there a great Father's Day gift idea.
Lee Roy Parnell has a song called "Daddy's and Daughters" (mp3 audio link) on his "Back to the Well" CD that brings me to tears everytime I hear it. AND... I almost forgot... Lee Roy's daughter, Allison, is singing the background vocals on the song. How cool is that?!
So... if you really want to turn your Dad into a mushy pile of love, give him the CD and make him listen to track #6.
And, Dad... if you're reading this... just act surprised, okay?
**wink**
Daddies And Daughters
Written by Lee Roy Parnell and Tony Arata
I held you and I saw you and still
I could not believe
Face to face with an angel
There staring right back at me
Placed in these working man’s arms
By the hands of the Father
Oh, Mary full of grace, blessed the love
Between daddies and daughters
Tucking you in
Reading “good night moon” every night
Then kneelin’ down saying our prayers
Side by side
Down on my Knees with you I swear
I never stood taller
Oh, Mary full of grace, blessed the love
Between daddies and daughters
And every time I see you now
I can’t remember nothin’ ‘bout anything before
More and more I realize
Yours was not the only life
That began on the day that you were born
Bless the angels that brought you and the love
Between daddies and daughters
You will always reside in my heart’s most sacred place
Safe from all time and all distance
There you will remain
The faith you’ve had in me
Made me and my faith so much Stronger
For the blessings you’ve brought me
And the lessons you’ve taught me
Oh, Mary full of grace, blessed the love
Between daddies and daughters
Bless the angels that brought you and the love
Between daddies and Daughters
