Since a little girl
I've wanted to walk in your shoes
Yes
The big black ones
I always wore your clothes
When you were out to sea
And home with me
You told me that you loved me
Never proved it
One day
You dressed me up in your navy uniform
Got pictures taken
Professionally
I was hardly even 6
A little short thing I was
I only fit in your shirt
It was down to the ground
I had on your boat hat
I wanted to walk in your shoes
You were my idol
From the moment I was born..
You told me to go into the navy
That which I wanted
Until age 6 plus 3..
That's when it turned for the worst
You became a deadbeat
Just lost to me
Now your dreams
Of a daughter in the navy
Fighting for her country
Is only a dream
