I held you and I saw you and still
I could not believe face to face with an angel
There staring right back at me
Placed in these working man’s arms

By the hands of the father
Oh, mary full of grace, blessed the love
Between daddies and daughters tucking you in
Reading “good night moon” every night

Then kneelin’ down saying our prayers
Side by side down on my knees with you I swear
I never stood taller oh, mary full
Of grace, blessed the love between daddies and daughters

And every time I see you now I can’t remember nothin’
‘Bout anything before more and more I realize
Yours was not the only life
That began on the day that you were born

Bless the angels that brought you and the love
Between daddies and daughters
You will always reside in my heart’s most sacred place
Safe from all time and all distance there you will remain

The faith you’ve had in me made me and my faith so much
Stronger for the blessings you’ve brought me
And the lessons you’ve taught me
Oh, mary full of grace, blessed the love

Between daddies and daughters bless the angels
That brought you and the love
Between daddies and daughters
