Well shes daddy's little girl always has been and always will
Just the two of them since she was four when her mom decided to bail
She had nappy hair and old blue jeans but she was perfect in his eyes
Never asked much from him but when she did she appologized
It was her and him against the world armed with their love and faith
She would get scared sometimes he would say baby it okay
Anytime you can't see the light ill be your guide through the night
Just count to three and I guarantee that everythings gonna be alright
(chorus)
(one) you might be afraid and the world's closing in on you
(two) you might still be scared but know I'm here for you
(three) get that chin up and wipe those tears so you can see
(baby just close your eyes) and count to three
Tough months led to tough years, that turned out to be tough times
Whose gonna dress me and fix me up is what she asked herself sometimes
Where do i go from here she says, I cry my self to sleep every night
Sadness turns to anger trying to justify whats right
It was her and him against the world armed with their love and faith
She would get scared sometimes he would say baby it okay
Anytime you can't see the light ill be your guide through the night
Just count to three and I guarantee that everythings gonna be alright
(Chorus)
Her daddy got sick and she cried when they pumped the poison through his veins
She didnt dare let anyone see the hurt she felt lord knew it was pain
She was losing every bit of what made her
The woman she is today
But she knew it was good cuz he said
Everythings gonna be okay
(Chorus)
