She'd snuggle up and talk to me   Each night as I watched TV   I'd teasingly call her chatterbox   Then one night she said don’t be scared    I see an angel on the stairs   Daddy can you hear the angel talk      One more year of lollipops   Ice cream cones and soda pop   One more year of daddy's little girl   One more year of crackerjacks, bubblegum   And sugar smacks   One more year of daddy's little girl      I took her in my arms upstairs    And as she said her night time prayers   I felt a fever burning in her head   She gave thanks for mom and me   And said I heard my angel speak   Daddy this is what my angel said      Repeat chorus      Her faith grew strong her body weak   And soon my frightened eyes could see   There was nothing on earth that I could do   And one year later to the day in her sleep    She slipped away and I knew what she had    Said and heard was true      One more year of lollipops ice cream cones   And soda pop one more year of daddy's little girl   One more year of crackerjacks bubblegum and   Sugar smacks one more year of daddy's little girl   One more year of daddy's little girl
