She Was Watching
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
