From the moment that a baby girl is born into this world
A man starts to change, do crazy things like paintin' the bedroom pink
To hold something so small and frail, absolutely scares the hell
Out of any guy, no matter how brave he thinks he might be
When she looks up at him like he's superman
She's got him in the palm of her hand

Daddies and daughters have something no one else does
Unique and special kind of love, it's hard to explain
How a man tough as leather can turn to velvet when she smiles
Wove apart as they may seem, there's nothing like the love between
Daddies and Daughters

Before she even gets to second grade, he's already starting to think about
All the boys, what's on their minds, 'cause he was once one to
She's 16 and heading to the dance,
he says, "You ain't going dressed like that"
She slams her door, starts to cry, thinks he ain't got a clue
She'll finally understand it one day
She'll live on, see the love in his mistakes

Daddies and daughters have something no one else does
Unique and special kind of love, it's hard to explain
How a man tough as leather can turn to velvet when she smiles
Wove apart as they may seem, there's nothing like the love between
Daddies and Daughters

No one she ever meets will ever be, good enough for her - for him

Daddies and daughters have something no one else does
Wove apart as they may seem, there's nothing like the love between
Daddies and Daughters
