Delaney

Delaney’s such a tiny thing
She dances lightly round my heart
With hair so blond and eyes so blue
I miss her so when we’re apart
Her voice is like a lullaby
Her words are like a fairy tale
She paints a picture that pleases me
I love her fine, I love her well

Chorus:
She comes to me when I get home
Says daddy won’t you play a tune
Pick me up and hold me close
While we dance across the room
Delaney’s such a tiny thing
But her love gives me the strength
To do the things I want to do
To be the man I want to be

Delaney she’s my good luck charm
She believes in me, won’t let me lose
With jokes that always make me laugh
She chases away all my blues
Her smile is like a big warm sun
Her laughter makes the flowers grow
She says daddy will you be home soon
She takes me where I want to go

Chorus:
She comes to me when I get home
Says daddy won’t you play a tune
Pick me up and hold me close
While we dance across the room
Delaney’s such a tiny thing
But her love gives me the strength
To do the things I want to do
To be the man I want to be

Bridge:
Tell her daddy’s on his way
We’ll be dancing before too long
Hold the phone up to her ear
So I can sing for her a happy song

Chorus:
She comes to me when I get home
Says daddy won’t you play a tune
Pick me up and hold me close
While we dance around the room
Delaney’s such a tiny thing
But her love gives me the strength
To do the things I want to do
To be the man I want to be

For Delaney
