Kippi Brannon recorded this song in 1997. I'm sure a bunch of macho men shed a lot of tears when listening to this one. Yeah, our daughters had a way of wrapping us dads around their little finger. This song contains one of my favorite country lyrics of all time: "You can make a tear go a long, long way when you're Daddy's little girl." (Sob) My "little girl" is 27 now and she still has me wrapped around her little finger. That's her at 1:04 of the video.

Just an update as of March 19, 2013. My daddy just passed away, a week short of his 90th birthday. I'm a guy, so I was never "Daddy's Little Girl", but some of the sentiments in this song apply to me, especially the line "what'll I do when my daddy's gone?". As the song says, he was a "book of advice". So many times since he passed away I want to call him or send him an e-mail and ask for his advice about something, then it hits me and I remember it's no longer possible. Gotta figure it out for myself. Maybe that's not such a bad thing.
