DOM - Dance With Her Daddy

(words and music by D. F. Bollinger (SUISA) (c) 2006)

VERSE 1
She was telling her dolls to be quiet, Daddy might come to play
But in those days of the toys, Daddy said "I've no time for games !"
He would run here and there, watch the news, read newspapers

She was standing still, felt invisible
She was nothing but a ghost, haunting the big world

She was trying to hide loneliness
So she told her friends
She was spending her nights at the ballroom with him

CHORUS
She wanted to dance with her Daddy
For just a hint of eternity
Wearing her white dress and pearly nail polish
She wanted to feel his love, that's all that she wished

VERSE 2
In High School she was longing for the Father-Daughter dance
But in those days of the boys, Daddy said he was too old
He said he had responsabilities she couldn't understand

She was asking for only one evening
To be with him, sharing time, like daughters do

He promised he would come after work
But she waited so long
Alone on the bench, she cried in vain

CHORUS

BRIDGE
But in the days of the bride
Daddy asked her "Do you mind"
He took her and held her
Made her dance like forever
Then he whispered to her as if it was a secret
"I'm so proud of you.
I love you."

CHORUS
She loved that dance with her Daddy
Sharing a hint of eternity
Wearing her white dress and pearly nail polish
She felt his love at last, that's all that she'd wished
