I wasn't there for her first steps But I ain't missed a ball game yet. And that ain't ever gonna change. I could never walk away. Yes she's my own and that's my choice She ain't my blood but she's mine, She's my girl.
Elvie Shane Lyrics She's My Girl (Complete Lyrics) She ain't got my smile, that don't bother me a bit She's got somebody else's eyes I'm seeing myself in I'm holding on to every moment, God knows I've missed a few The day we met I knew I had some catching up to do
She ain't my blood, ain't got my name But if she did, I'd feel the same I wasn't there for her first steps But I ain't missed the ball game yet And that ain't ever gonna change I could never walk away Yeah, she's my baby my whole world She ain't my blood but she's my, she's my girl
It hit me like a train, the first time she called me dad In a three stick figure crayon picture with all of us holding hands Her mama said, "I understand if it's too soon for this" I didn't let her finish, I took it to the kitchen and I stuck it on the fridge, yeah
She ain't my blood, ain't got my name But if she did, I'd feel the same I wasn't there for her first steps But I ain't missed the ball game yet And that ain't ever gonna change I could never walk away Yeah, she's my baby and my whole world She ain't my blood but she's my, she's my girl
She's Saturday morning cartoons She's "Hey, can I sleep in your room?" She's bigger than the plans I had She's making me a better man
She ain't my blood, ain't got my name But if she did, I'd feel the same I wasn't there for her first steps But I ain't missed the ball game yet And that ain't ever gonna change I could never walk away Yeah, she's my baby and my whole world She ain't my blood but she's my, she's my girl Yeah, she's my, she's my girl.
At 3:47, the step-daughter showed the following cue cards to the viewers during the playing of this song. I want to say thank you to my biological father. You knew you didn't want me. You knew you weren't going to be the man that I NEEDED or DESERVED You never tried to contact me or send me a card on my birthday. I never waited for a phone call or letter from you. I never wondered if you were going to show. Because of you I was CHOSEN. Chosen by a man when I was 3 years old. By a man who wanted to be MY DAD. A man who wanted to be there for EVERYTHING. A man who wanted to teach me how to ride a bike, be a strong and independent person and how to be a good parent to my son Because you didn't want me, I had an amazing dad and I am grateful for you being ABSENT. A dad is not someone who gives you their DNA but it is a man who is present & there, even when times aare tough THANK-YOU to the man who left me AND to the one who choose to LOVE ME NEXT STEP General Norman Schwarzkopf commanded Operation Desert Storm, successfully driving out Saddam Hussein's Iraqi forces from Kuwait in 1991. emotion to get tears in his eyes every now and then.
