Daddy's Girl, Acacia Tia Naidoo

There is none like you

No one can touch my heart like you do

I was there the first day

When you took your first breath

I held you in my arms

So small, so fragile

I whispered in your ear

And called you Acacia, tea and I do

It was the first word

You ever heard, you looked at me with bold bright eyes

And with your little baby smile

I knew you were safe in daddy's hands

I watched you grow from a distance

Into a young radiant brave girl

Akacia, you walk with strength and grace and pride

You are more precious than any priceless gemstone

Your heart, your soul are purer than gold

I love you, my baby girl

You are my special gift from above

I'm blessed to have you in my life

Like Aisha, Thee and I do

You are daddy's girl

Through every season

Through every word

When the days grow heavy

And the nights grow long

My love for you

Will keep you strong

Keji ti yanai ru

You are daddy's girl

A shining light

In this spinning world

No treasure could ever take Your place

You are my joy, my heart, my grace

Dear child, daddy's getting old

Understanding when words are untold on your birthday

One hug, one dance is all this old man wants

Just to hold you one more time

Just to feel your hand in mine

I love you, my dearest baby girl

Keisha tia nairu, you are daddy's girl

My precious child

My whole world

If I could freeze this moment here

I'd keep you close year after year

Akeisha, Tia, Nayu

You are daddy's girl

Forever my love

Forever my pearl

When I call your name, I call it with pride

My little girl, my heart, my life
