I remember when you were born   I felt like one lucky   Son of a gun       And when you turned into two   I was so happy   When you said I love you       Held you in my arms so tight   I'd never forget   The best years of my life       (chorus)   Apple of your daddy's eye   Wanna be the one to hold you in the night   Apple of your daddy's eye   Oh, oh sleep tight   Don't you worry gonna be alright       I remember when you were three   You were so lovely   So very pretty       And when you turned into four   I finally realized   What God put her here for       chorus       If I had my way   Time would stand still   You'd stay as sweet as you are   But time waits for no one   It never will   Your gonna leave me soon enough   I'm just sad 'cause you're growing up       Held you in my arms so tight   I'd never forget   The best years of my life       (chorus)       Don't stop ever lovin' me because   You're the apple of your daddy's eye       repeat and fade
