Father's Day Songs From Daughter

If we were to go a century back, we would find a daughter named Sonora Smart Dodd, a loving and selfless father named William Smart and the story about how Sonora's efforts won an annual Father's Day for all the fathers of the world. William Smart, a widower (his wife died giving birth to their sixth child), single-handedly raised his six children, including a newborn. Over the years, Sonora watched his father selflessly trying to raise his family with superhuman strength and wanted to dedicate a day to thank him for all he had done. Her efforts paid off and Father's Day came into existence. Celebrate Sonora's efforts in your unique way this year.

Daughter's Songs For Father's Day

Daddy's Little Girl - Karla Bonoff
He was the calm in the storm
Daddy kept us warm
(and) What will I do when he's gone
How will I carry on

Yes I know when it's his time to go
That I'll have to grow up too
Oh can't I stay right here
and be daddy's little girl

So how did the years go so fast
Or did we just lose track
So now we can't waste any time
I'll make each moment mine

Yes I know when it's his time to go...

The time keeps moving
Life keeps passing
There's still so much to say
But I will go on
I will be strong
I will find my way

When I look in the face of the child
I see you in her eyes
And we're all so much the same
We'll carry on your name

Yes I know when that you have to go
and I have to grow up too
Oh can't I stay right here and be daddy's little girl
Oh can't I stay right here and be daddy's little girl

Father & Daughter - Paul Simon
If you leap awake in the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction of a second you can't remember where you are
Just open your window and follow your memory upstream
To the meadow in the mountain where we counted every falling star

I believe a light that shines on you will shine on you forever
And though I can't guarantee there's nothing scary hiding under your bed
I'm gonna stand guard like a postcard of a Golden Retriever
And never leave 'til I leave you with a sweet dream in your head

I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you

Trust your intuition
It's just like goin' fishin'
You cast your line and hope you get a bite
But you don't need to waste your time
Worryin' about the market place
Try to help the human race
Struggling to survive its harshest night
