Things around here haven't changed much It's all pretty much the same stuff, day after day The only thing that keeps me goin' Seems to be our baby girl I'm tryin' to raise She's my life, my mornin' angel Always seems to find the rainbow after the rain But lately she's so busy growin' I don't even think she knows you've gone away She finally learned to say goodbye And she's sleepin' through the night She don't wake up cryin' And she's walkin' on her own She don't need no one holdin' to her hand And I hate to admit, she's stronger than I am And she ain't crackin' under pressure First one step and then another, she goes along And if she falls and skins her knee She cries a while and smiles at me, and just goes on So many things that she can teach me Full of life and so completely, innocent She still says she loves her daddy Goes on just like nothin' happened, forgives and forgets She finally learned to say goodbye She's sleepin' through the night She don't wake up cryin' And she's walkin' on her own She don't need no one holdin' to her hand And I hate to admit, she's stronger than I am She's just like her old man, stronger than I am
