Lucky Little Girl

"Such eyelashes wasted on a boy
You should be in a Maybelline ad"
So they told you all your life
When you were young it drove you mad

But she'll thank you for them one day, she'll joke "thanks for these good looks"
And, paranoid, you'll wonder, who's that carrying her books?
You told her no boys 'til she's 31

"You're the brightest kid I've ever seen
Boy you can figure out anything"
You'd say, "You're just biased, you're my mom
I'm not as smart as you seem to think"

But she'll thank you for it one day when she ventures out of town
And you'll rest assured you taught her how to question up and down
And how to hold her own in any crowd

So, if you're wonderin' how, if you're wonderin' how, if you're wonderin' how you're doin'
I can tell you now, I can tell you now, from all that I am viewin'
She's a lucky little girl with the best dad in the world

You wind your fingers through my hair
Kiss me on the forehead when you wake
I am never unaware that what we have is worth what it takes

And she'll thank you for that one day, when you walk her down the aisle
And when she's rocking her own miracle to sleep, she will smile
'Cause you taught her how to love her family well

So, if you're wonderin' how, if you're wonderin' how, if you're wonderin' how you're doin'
I can tell you now, I can tell you now, from all that I am viewin'
She's a lucky little girl with the best dad in the world
