This little girl of mine    (sample)

 

    C - G - C - G

 

              Dm                          G                        C          - Am

1. In a while she'll come to wake me just like always,

               F                         G                       C

    she'll lean down and sweetly press her lips on mine.

                                 F         - G                          C          - A

    And say, “Good morning,       daddy, good morning.”

Dm                 - D                          Dm        - G7

    How I love        this little girl of mine !

 

   Dm                                         G                  C        - Am

2.        And we'll both sit at the table having coffee,

                                F           - G                                 C

    and she'll say, “Momma,         put a lot of milk in mine.

                    F           - G                              C           - A

    Just like daddy's,        momma, like my daddy’s.”

Dm                - G                            C         - F - C - C7

    How I love        this little girl of mine !

 

F                                  D7                      C        - C7

    And one day she'll grow up and be gone,

F                                 D7                    Dm   - G

    and she'll have a small one of her own.

F                                         G                   C                     - Am

    But right now she's still daddy's baby just like always,

                 F                           G                     C        - C7

    and I'm so glad it's gonna be a long long time.

 

                      F                  - G                       C                         - A

    I'll hear, “Good morning,      daddy, wake up, it's morning.”

     Dm                    - G                           C       - Am

    Lord, how I love       this little girl of mine !

       F            - G                              C

    How I love         this little girl of mine !
