I promise you

Johnny has his hand pressed against the nursery glass watching his newborn baby girl

wearing pink socks with her name on her wrist,

You see the pain in Johnny's eyes his wife passed away during birth, but

Johnny said to that newborn baby girl I promise you with joy

I will always protect you baby girl,

I will always chase the monsters away I promise baby girl,

I would tell you everything you need to know about your mom (she was special baby girl)

I will always be here for you always, and I always love you baby girl

I promise no matter how old you are,

You will always be my baby girl,

Johnny's baby girl is growing up

He just can't believe this little girl that he held in his hands,

Is now walking around owning the place Johnny just chuckles

She's so funny, so confident and a smart straight A student,

She kisses and hugs him everyday and tells him I love you Dad,

Johnny everyday tells her the promise that he made that he keeps till this day

I will always protect you baby girl,

I will always chase the monsters away I promise baby girl,

I would tell you everything you need to know about your mom (she was special baby girl)

I will always be here for you, and I always love you baby girl

I promise no matter how old you are,

You will always be my baby girl, mmm

Years have gone by Johnny is now an old man in a hospital bed

He don't have much time left and

his baby girl all grown up right there by his side holding his hand

You can see that her heart is achy, in Johnny's final moments she promised him

Promise Daddy that I will always love you

I promise you Daddy I will make a promise to my newborn child

And I promise you Daddy I will think of you everyday and no matter what I will always be your baby girl

I love you Daddy goodbye
