She Was Watching Lyrics - Broken & Beautiful - Mark Schultz

He always called her daddy's little girl 

She was four years old 

Waiting by the door to run into his arms 

Each time that he came home 

And every night he tucked her in and read to her in bed 

When she'd fall asleep he'd close his eyes and gently bow his head 

[Chorus] 

But she was watching 

Her daddy praying 

And thought someday I wanna be like that 

She was watchin what he was saying 

And the way he bowed his head 

And though she can't recall the prayer 

She was watching 

Late one evening he was coming home from work 

He called to say he'd lost his job 

And after dinner they excused their baby girl 

She knew they had to talk 

But from inside her bedroom 

She could hear them down the hall 

They were dancing in the kitchen as momma sang his favorite 

Song 

[Chorus] 

She was watching 

As they were dancing 

And thought someday I wanna be like that 

She was watching 

Her momma singing 

As they were dancing hand in hand 

And though she can't recall the song 

She was watching 

Faith can't be taught 

It's just something that is caught along the way 

No faith is never taught 

It's just something that they catch from watching you along the way 

He always called her daddy's little girl 

But now she's twenty-three 

He walks her down the aisle to give away his world 

Oh but he can hardly speak 

And when he kisses her goodbye he tries to hold it in 

But as he turns away she pulls him close and whispers in his ear 

I was watching 

And I've been waiting 

And finally found someone just like you 

I was watching 

My whole life praying 

For God to see it through 

And as he kissed her one last time 

He said a prayer and closed his eyes 

And she was watching
