Story Behind The Song
My daughter was suffering from severe migraines for several months and then she began passing out. After a couple of years of various treatments they determined that she had a disease called syncope as well. The medications were contradicting themselves

I am telling my daughter that no matter what she does, how bad life gets or wherever she goes...I will always be there for her and that my love for her continues even after I am gone.

Lyrics
I knew the day that you were born
just how you'd be
you came into this world and smiled at all you'd see
you were such a precious thing
looking frail and lost
I swore I'd always cover you
no matter what the cost
hmmmmmmm
when you were just a little girl
you could talk all day
said hello to anyone,
whoever came your way
you were always making friends
everywhere we'd go
you'd offer up advice and love
always in the know
Can't you feel how much I love you
it doesn't matter what you've done
I will always be here for you
Even when it seems, like I'm the only one
I'd hold your hand at night
while we'd pray
then we'd sing and talk awhile
all about your day
our talks aren't as often now
we've both got things to do
and even though your older now
I pray our talks are never through
Can't you feel how much I love you
it doens't matter how you've changed
I will always be here for you
even when it feels
your whole world's rearranged
You've got to spread your wings and fly
fly your own way
just remember when the winds get to strong
I'm always just a few, steps away
I know we haven't always seen
eye to eye
but we've always worked it out and forgave as time went by
nothing you could ever do
would stop this love I give
It will always belong to you
even long after I have lived
Can't you feel how much I love you?
It doesn't matter where you go
You can always count on Daddy
That's one thing,
you can never outgrow
hmmmmm
Daddy's little girl
I love you honey
