KISSES AND WISHES AND THEN,
I'VE SCARED AWAY THE BOGEYMEN © Robbie Kennedy Bennett

Once upon a time
in these strong masculine arms of mine
I held a bundle of a baby girl
more precious than a priceless pearl
in her Daddy’s world

What do you do when you are dad?
and she's frightened or she's sad
She deserved my utmost best
my instinct done the rest

How can you measure the treasure of a daughter?
Is she the only treasure we have pleasure of giving away?
Setting off to sail in the deep, deep water
sailing on a ship called Love upon her wedding day

What do you do with Daddy?
when his little girl has grown
A father child relationship
is a special one to own

********************

Her pretty little hand
once held mine so tight
Her pretty little face
I kissed and wished goodnight sleep tight

Kisses and wishes and then
I’ve scared away the bogeymen
Why? because I'm daddy
keeping away the baddie

These are the arms she ran to
This is the man that’s stronger than
Batman, Robin and Superman

These are the arms she wrestled
This is the chest where she nestled when I carried
This is the hand that gave her away when she married

What do you do with Daddy?
When his daughters a beautiful bride
catching all her compliments
inside he’s bursting with pride

How can you measure the treasure of a daughter?
I’ve learned a Father's way
it is on her wedding day

*******************

What do you do with Daddy after his speech?
There’s his heart and there’s his hand
That’s always there to reach.

WE GOT BY © Robbie Kennedy Bennett

What did we do?
we got by
we stayed true to each other
and we got by
we didn't always see eye to eye
but somehow
we got by

sometimes it was tough
times when we both had, had enough
we made each other cry
but we toughed it out
and we got by

we never strayed
in another field we never played
down another river we never sailed
another marriage that had sadly failed

wedding vows down the drain
separation, humiliation, hurt and pain
we never felt fouled
could this be why
we never threw in the towel

we stood it out
and got by
we stayed true to each other
and we got by
we didn’t always see eye to eye
but somehow
we got by

somehow
we got by
