My daughter Sammie, she’s got the cutest smile ever made
My daughter Sammie, she’s got a smile made in the shade
And if you had a chance to meet her
If you had a chance to see
You’d be melting just like I do, the girl can grin and set you free
My daughter Sammie, she’s got crystal clear blue eyes
My daughter Sammie, she’s got eyes that don’t know lies
And when she’s giggly and excited
When she squeaks and leaps about
Those bright blue eyes can grow three sizes, makes my heart just want to shout
My daughter Sammie wants to know why Daddy’s gone
My daughter Sammie needs to know if she’s done wrong
No, it’s not your fault, little darling
Sometimes grown-ups grow apart
I know that all you want’s your family, that it pains your little heart
Something bout the way that God give people things
Unwrap a present and a bee jumps out and stings
But that bee that hurts makes honey
And there’s a buzzing in the hive
And that buzzing tells me with this daughter I’m the luckiest man alive
My daughter Sammie, it’s so hard when we’re apart
My world turned upside-down, the horse before the cart
Yet it feels so good to miss you
Guess it just feels good to feel
Cause this love for you I’m feeling can’t be anything but real
My daughter Sammie, she’s the Granny Smith of my eye
An ocean sunset, she’s the where, the how, the why
One thing’s for certain, little darling
One thing won’t change no matter what
This love I feel for you’s a keeper, ain’t no ifs or ands or buts
My little Sammie, just how grateful can I be
For all the things in this world that you have helped me see
Your name means Breath of God, and I believe it
Breathing life into me, that’s for sure
And like the man in these songs keeps telling me, there’s so much more in store
There’s just one thing more to tell you on this night
I’m thrilled you’re here to see me standing in my light
And if I could wish upon a star now
If I could blink and have it be
I’d always stand inside this light here and you’d know your Daddy as the real me
