MY LITTLE GIRL
William Shakespeare - 1975





It was on a cold December afternoon
Doesn't seem that long ago
I was sitting on my feet by my old fireplace
When in walked my little girl home from school
And I could see that something was wrong
By the tears that were rolling down her face


And she said Daddy, Daddy at school today
Somebody told me a lie
And after hearin' what she had heard
I told her not to cry
It hurt to see her cry


Because she's my, my little angel
My little angel, my little angel when she smiles
Oh yes, she's my, my little angel
My little angel, and I don't ever wanna see her cry


What she heard was that angel's didn't really exist
That they were just a part of fables, fairytales, any ol' how
Of course there are angels I said
Everybody has an angel that takes care of them
In fact I know there's a real live angel right now


And she said Daddy, Daddy please tell me where
And tell me how do you know
And I said, easy, if you listen close
It's not too far to go
And this is how I know


Because you're my, my little angel
My little angel, my little angel when you smile
Oh yes, you're my, my little angel
My little angel, and I don't ever wanna see you cry


Now I miss her dearly since she left that day
But I know she is near me every hour, every day
Because she's, because she's my, my little angel
My little angel, my little angel, yes she's mine


Ah, she's so fine, my little angel, my little angel
And I know that she's with me all the time
With me all the time, my little angel
My little angel, my, my little angel
