California Daddy

Reunited with my Father

     California Daddy

          He caught me when I was falling
          He tried to hold me tight, but
          I was independent,
          Too eager for my first flight

          His eyes, green as emeralds
          Followed my path upward tonight, and
          He smiles all the while
          I soar further from his sight

          Does he think of me now, a woman?
          In the place he dwells tonight? Yes.
          Of course, I’m sure he does
          – I’m my daddy’s Sweet Delight.
