Walt

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

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

You 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

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

So 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

So 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
