You worked so hard to build our home, a steady hand to hold
With a quiet kind of wisdom, worth more than solid gold
A dedicated provider, you saw our family through
I found my best reflection just looking up to you
A perfect role model, so helpful and so kind
The greatest friend and teacher that a girl could ever find
ChorusThank you for the lessons and the love you freely gave
For showing me the ways in life, and making me so brave
You're the greatest daddy that a daughter ever knew
And no matter where I wander, my heart leads back to you
Through the changes of the seasons and the spinning of the world
Walt, I will always be your little girl
Verse 2You helped me be a better bowler, down at the wooden lanes
You helped me sing a better song through all the joys and pains
You taught me independence, to stand up on my own
To never have to depend on anyone when I am fully grown
The most caring, loving father, a light when things go dark
You left a lasting handprint right here upon my heart
ChorusThank you for the lessons and the love you freely gave
For showing me the ways in life, and making me so brave
You're the greatest daddy that a daughter ever knew
And no matter where I wander, my heart leads back to you
Through the changes of the seasons and the spinning of the world
Walt, I will always be your little girl
BridgeSo talented and patient, you supported every dream
You showed me how to navigate the roughest kind of stream
I'm walking through this life with all the tools you gave to me
You shaped the woman that I am, and who I'm meant to be
Final ChorusSo thank you for the lessons and the love you freely gave
For showing me the ways in life, and making me so brave
You're the greatest daddy that a daughter ever knew
And no matter where I wander, my heart leads back to you
Through the changes of the seasons and the spinning of the world
Walt, I will always be your little girl
Yes, I will always be your little girl
