Topic: "Donna, My Little Girl"
On seeing Jeff Gilpin's song "I'll Never Get Tired Of You" to his daughter and suggesting that he record it for her I realised that I should do the same for mine. Obviously Jeff's message was not the one I wanted to send to Donna but there was a lot in it that was suitable. Jeff's style of music is also different to mine so quite a radical adaptation took place and this is the result. Thank you Jeff for allowing me to rework your song. I hope you like it.

Intro:
[G][Bm][C][D]
.
.
[G]There's not a thing I would [Bm]not do,
[C]To try to take care of [D]you,
[G]No matter what you want at [Bm]all,
[C]All you need to do is [D]call,
[C]No job you wish would [D]be too tall,
[G]Just let me help you [Em]through it all;
[C]Do[D]nna, my little [G]girl.[D]
.
.
[G]I know there's years we were a[Bm]part,
[C]That awful time just [D]broke my heart,
[G]Things we said got took [Bm]wrongly,
[C]Because you are so [D]much like me,
[C]But that's in the past now [D]happily,
[G]Things are now as they should [Em]be;
[C]Do[D]nna, my little [G]girl.[D]
.
.
[G]You will always be my [Bm]little girl,
[C]With your shy smile and your [D]curls,
[G]I would give you [Bm]all that I own,
[C]So do not feel sad [D]in your home,
[C]You are never comp[D]letely alone,
[G]I am always at the [Em]end of the phone;
[C]Do[D]nna, my little [G]girl.[D]
.
.
[G]But you are so very far a[Bm]way,
[C]And though we talked the [D]other day,
[G]I could not find words to [Bm]say to you,
[C]I don't like being so [D]far from you,
[C]one thing I know will [D]always be true,
[G]I will never stop [Em]loving you;
[C]Do[D]nna, my little [G]girl.[G]
