I met you for the first time
And you showed me how to live
In your arms
I run to for shelter
You became my daddy for the first time
I can still remember
When I was a little girl
Sisters in a circle
Mama told us stories through the afternoon
And Daddy's seat was always empty
Tears dropped on my pillow
Prayers went to Heaven
Waiting for him by the window
So close to me yet
Slowly we grew apart
That's when
I met you for the first time
And you showed me how to live
In your arms
I run to for shelter
You became my daddy for the first time
I understood his reasons
I know his heart was bleeding
But he didn't see that I was hurting too
Helpless, naïve, and confused
Daddy, I wish that I could have helped you
Suffering in silence
Patiently hoping
That one day you would be free
I'll never stop believing
And cryin' on my knees
N' that's when I (extend)

I met you for the first time
And you showed me how to live
In your arms
I run to for shelter
You became my daddy for the first time
Daddy I love you
I know you love me
And I'm thankful for the lessons that you taught me
The faces of time have changed
I've blossomed into a lady
And I'm stronger than before
I'm wiser now too
Because I've learned to
Trust in God no matter what the cost
Because I loved you, I learned to love him
And know I've found my first love
Ooooohhhhhh
I met you for the first time
And you showed me how to live
In your arms
I run to for shelter
You became my daddy for the first time
I met you for the first time
And you showed me how to live
In your arms
I run to for shelter
You became my daddy for the first time
