Laura Honken's gallery/Girl Dad

Girl Dad
Verse 1
He jumps to his two left feet
His heart melting instantly
When she smiles and says
Daddy, come dance with me

He takes her tiny hand
Helping her spin and twirl
He’d do anything for the one
With bouncing red curls

Chorus
He doesn’t care if he looks silly
When she’s got him dancing or dressed all pretty
It’s important for her to see
How a real man can be
She won’t settle for anything less
Than what he’s teaching her to expect
Of all the superpowers he could have
He’s glad he’s simply a girl dad

Verse 2
Sometimes, she paints his nails
After fixing his hair
While he sips on make believe tea
Sitting on a little pink chair

Sometimes she’s a princess
In a swing set tower locked away
When he comes riding in
On a stick horse to save the day

Chorus
He doesn’t care if he looks silly
When she’s got him dancing or dressed all pretty
It’s important for her to see
How a real man can be
She won’t settle for anything less
Than what he’s teaching her to expect
Of all the superpowers he could have
He’s glad he’s simply a girl dad

Bridge
When she cries, he’ll cry too
When she sings, he’ll carry the tune
It’s not about looking tough
It’s about showing her she is loved

Chorus
He doesn’t care if he looks silly
When she’s got him dancing or dressed all pretty
It’s important for her to see
How a real man can be
She won’t settle for anything less
Than what he’s teaching her to expect
Of all the superpowers he could have
He’s glad he’s simply a girl dad

    Great images. Being a dad who was totally involved in helping raise a girl, it sent me back to when she was little and brought me to tears. I’m pretty sentimental, so don’t know how others would react, but the song has a vibe that I think country radio would eat up. Good luck with it, and thanks for sharing!
