B-Sides — The Lyrics

Little Darlin'

Runnin' through a field of apple blossom leaves
On a sunny day, hair blowin' in the breeze.
Never seen a daughter who looks so fair
Come to Daddy, girl, and let me brush your hair.

Little Darlin', come and sit upon my knee.
You're my baby girl, I love you, can't you see?
Little Darlin', let me whisper in your ear.
Keep a secret, baby, there's no need to fear.

Saturdays, we go strollin' through the park.
We won't stay too long, I know you hate the dark.
Let's go to the mall for some clothes shopping.
I'll watch you try some outfits on if you want me.

Little Darlin', let me stroke your lovely hair.
Lay your head upon my chest, your skin's so fair.
Little Darlin', don't you cry tonight.
I'll make sure that everything feels all right.

Come on, Little Darlin', wait for me.
I'm gettin' older now and can't keep up, you see.

My baby girl no longer needs me.
All we ever do is fight and disagree.
Maybe someday she'll come back to me.
She'll never find a man who stacks up to me.

Little Darlin', have you torn your party dress?
No need to cry like that, your face just looks a mess.
Let your daddy make your problems go away.
Shuh, shuh, quiet, girl, there's nothin' left to say.
