	Story Behind the Song This song was written at the park while I was watching my 3 kids play. It took about two hours to complete it. I cried every second of the two hours. Recorded the guitar in one take and the vocals in about seven or eight takes cause the tears kept coming. You fathers will understand. I still cry every time I hear this song. Lyrics Daddy Can You She's 5 years old startin school today So lets go to the park for one more play She says Daddy push the swing and go real high But all I can do is watch and cry I wasnt around much when she was born To busy workin' hard to pay the loans And now she'll walk right out that door today A big school girl with something to say Daddy can you walk with me to the corner bus stop Cause I'm a little scared to be all by myself So I hold her hand and say itll be just fine And Ill love ya till the end of time Now she's 23 and gettin' married today Such a pretty young woman well on her way Shell make a life and a family of her own Soon we'll just talk on the telephone So we're all dressed up and Ill give her away Yea, another man will hold her close today As I hold her hand and walk her down the aisle She just looks at me with that little girl smile And says Daddy can you walk me on down the wedding aisle Cause Im a little scared like when I was a child So I hold her hand and say itll be just fine And Ill love ya till the end of time Now she's 45 and dying of cancer today So I sit and think and cry and pray Ive loved her since before her birth Parents shouldnt see their kids die first So I tuck her into bed one last time I kiss her cheek and she kisses mine As I hold her hand and look in her eyes She just looks at me with that little girl smile And says Daddy Ill be walkin with Jesus tonight And Im a little scared without you by my side So I hold her hand and say it'll be just fine And Ill love ya till the end of time
