I know you in pictures, in photos from Mom.
I know you in stories, in tales from everyone.
I can't find your face in the back of my mind, but when it comes to a Dad, I know you're mine.
Little girls looking for the men in their lives,
Make women who end up as somebody's wife.
They'll look for their Dad in every man they can find.
I'm glad we finally met because I know you're mine.
I was always searching, was always looking out.
Then my Step-Dad came, I wanted to shout.
He filled up a place, but it wasn't your face.
Looking back, I'm still glad he stayed.
Little girls looking for the men in their lives,
Make women who end up as somebody's wife.
They'll look for their Dad in every man they can find.
I'm glad we finally met because I know you're mine.
I miss my Step-Dad, the way I missed you.
It makes me so mad that I lost him, too.
You can't fill his place, you won't fit in his shoes.
But if you'll be a Dad, I'll be a daughter to you.
Little girls looking for the men in their lives,
Make women who end up as somebody's wife.
They'll look for their Dad in every man they can find.
I'm glad we finally met because I know you're mine.
It's been so much time, do you even know who I am?
Do you know me like then, or like an old friend?
But if you'll be a Dad!
I'll be a daughter to you.
If you'll be a friend, then we got nothing to lose.
Little girls looking for the men in their lives,
Make women who end up as somebody's wife.
They'll look for their Dad in every man they can find.
I'm glad we finally met because I know you're mine.
And if you'll be a Dad, I'll be a daughter to you.
I'll be a daughter.
For you.
