He always called her daddy's little girl
She was four years old
Waiting by the door to run into his arms

Each time that he came home

And every night he tucked her in

and read to her in bed
When she'd fall asleep he'd
close his eyes and gently

bow his head

[Chorus]

But she was watching
Her daddy praying
And thought someday I wanna be like that

She was watchin what he was saying
And the way he bowed his head
And though she can´t recall the prayer

She was watching

Late one evening he was coming home from work

He called to say he'd lost his job
And after dinner they excused their baby girl
She knew they had to talk


But from inside her bedroom
She could hear them down the hall

They were dancing in the kitchen as
momma sang his favorite Song


[Chorus]
She was watching
As they were dancing

And thought someday I wanna be like that
She was watching
Her momma singing

As they were dancing hand in hand
And though she can´t recall the song
She was watching


Faith can´t be taught
it´s just something that is

caught along the way
No faith is never taught
it´s just something that they

catch from watching you along the way

He always called her daddy's little girl

But now she's twenty-three
He walks her down the aisle to
give away his world

Oh but he can hardly speak
And when he kisses her goodbye
he tries to hold it in

But as he turns away she
pulls him close and whispers
in his ear


I was watching
And I´ve been waiting

And finally found someone just like you
I was watching
My whole life praying

For God to see it through

And as he kissed her one last time

He said a prayer and closed his eyes
And she was watching
