Daddy cries when he says goodbye to
His only baby girl
She's off to school but, she may as well
Be gone half ways across the world

I look into her eyes and remember all
The time
Played games and I told her fairytales
Daddy where's my kiss goodnight she said
Every night when I tucked her in
But as she drove off in that cr I knew
It was the end

There goes my baby
Off on her own
I'm gonna miss her when she's gone
There goes my angel
The one that god sent
I know one day we'll be together again
There goes my baby

Young man came and asked me for the
Hand of my little girl
He's a good one but, I know that he'll
Never be good enough for her

I know she'll give him all her heart
And make a good wife
As she stand there in that dress I can't
Help but cry

There goes my baby
Off on her own
I'm gonna miss her when she's gone
There goes my angel
The one that god sent
I know one day we'll be together again
There goes my baby

It's funny how the world can turn you
Upside down
Just when life begins times runs out
The doctor came
He said the x-ray shows
I don't have very long
My little girl
Is standing by the bed telling me that
I gotta hold on

I told her to take care of her mother
When I'm gone
Hold on to your day 'cause the lord
Will keep you strong
Baby don't cry for me
'Cause there's an angel right here with
Me and she's waiting
Carry me home

So goodbye my baby
Your off on your own
I'm gonna miss you
When I'm gone
I am your angel
The one that god sent
And I know one day we'll be together again
Goodbye my baby
Goodbye my baby
Goodbye
Daddy cries
When he says goodbye to his only
Baby girl
