(one More Year Of) Daddy's Little Girl Lyrics - Dr. Hook

(Hazel Smith) 

She'd snuggle up and talk to me 

Each night as I'd watch TV 

I'd teasingly call her chatter-box 

Then one night she said "Don't be scared, 

I see an angel on the stairs 

Daddy can you hear the angel talk?" 

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 night-time prayers 

I felt a fever burning in her head 

She gave thanks for Mum and me 

And said, "I heard my angel speak 

Daddy this is what my angel said 

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 

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'd said and heard was true 

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 

One more year of Daddy's little girl
