Tell My Daddy Hi
Little girl woke up in the morning, slipped on her house shoes
She stood in front of her dresses taking forever to choose
She grabbed her teddybear and knelt beside the bed
Didn't know momma was listening as her and teddy bowed their heads 'n she prayed
God, when I'm at school tomorrow, can you help me be nice?
Can you please protect me from the monsters in the night?
And this year for Christmas I don't care what Santa brings
God, this year, there's one special thing
Can you tell my daddy hi?
Tell him that I love him
And can you tell him that I miss it when he tucks me in at night?
Can you let him watch me grow up?
N' watch over me and mom?
And if he's sorry that he's gone please tell him it's alright
God please, he's the big, tall, handsome one
Can you tell my daddy hi?
Well, It's been twelve years now, there's a boy and there's a ring
She so excited, can't believe she's a bride to be
But there's still one thing that makes it hard for her to smile
And that's that her daddy isn't there to walk her down the isle
Tell my daddy hi
Can you tell him that I love him?
And let him know that I will always be his little girl
Tell my daddy hi
I don't really know if I can ask this
But can you please give him a star so he can shine down on my world?
(oh)
She tells herself to cheer up because it's her wedding day
And she's gotta focus on what she's gonna say
But she drops to her knees again trying to find the words to pray
Can I have my daddy back just so he can give me away?
Can you tell my daddy hi?
Can you tell him that I understand
Why he had to leave me and mom?
Tell him I wish he could be here
But that even when he's not that he's still
The soldier I'm counting on
Can you tell my daddy hi?
Tell him that he's a hero
But can you tell him that he was always a hero to me?
Give him a great big hug for me
Tell him that I'm proud of him
And tell him that we're still free from sea to shining sea
Can you tell my daddy hi?
She stood in front of her dresses taking forever to choose
She grabbed her teddybear and knelt beside the bed
Didn't know momma was listening as her and teddy bowed their heads 'n she prayed
God, when I'm at school tomorrow, can you help me be nice?
Can you please protect me from the monsters in the night?
And this year for Christmas I don't care what Santa brings
God, this year, there's one special thing
Can you tell my daddy hi?

And can you tell him that I miss it when he tucks me in at night?

And if he's sorry that he's gone please tell him it's alright
God please, he's the big, tall, handsome one

And tell him that we're still free from sea to shining sea
Can you tell my daddy hi?
