[Verse 1]
A F#m
He always called her daddy's little girl,
D Esus4
She was four years old,
A F#m
Waiting by the door to run into his arms,
D Esus4
Each time that he came home.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A/C# D
And every night he tucked her in and read to her in bed,
F#m Esus4 E
When she'd fall asleep he'd close his eyes and gently bow his head.
[Chorus 1]
E
But she was watching,
F#m
Her daddy praying,
D Esus4 E
And thought someday I wanna be like that,
A F#m
She was watchin’ what he was saying,
D Esus4 E
And the way he bowed his head,
Bm A/C# D
And though she can't recall the prayer,
E A Asus4
Ooh, she was watching.

[Verse 2]
A F#m
Late one evening he was coming home from work,
D Esus4 E
He called to say he'd lost his job,
A F#m
And after dinner they excused their baby girl,
D Esus4 E
She knew they had to talk.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A/C#
But from inside her bedroom,
D
She could hear them down the hall,
F#m Esus4 E
They were dancing in the kitchen as momma sang his favorite song.
[Chorus 2]
E
She was watching,
F#m
As they were dancing,
D Esus4 E
And thought someday I wanna be like that,
A
She was watching,
F#m
Her momma singing,
D Esus4 E
As they were dancing hand in hand,
Bm A/C# D
And though she can't recall the song,
E A
Ooh, she was watching.
[Bridge]
E7 A/C#
Faith can't be taught,
F#m D/F# Esus4 E
It's just something that is caught along the way,
E7 A/C#
No faith is never taught,
F#m D/F# Esus4
It's just something that they catch from watching you along the,
F#m11 E7
Way.
[Verse 3]
A F#m
He always called her daddy's little girl,
D Esus4 E
But now she's twenty-three,
A F#m
He walks her down the aisle to give away his world,
D Esus4 E
Oh, but he can hardly speak.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A/C# D
And when he kisses her goodbye, he tries to hold it in,
F#m Esus4 E
But as he turns away she pulls him close and whispers in his ear.
[Chorus 3]
A
I was watching,
F#m
And I've been waiting,
D Esus4 E
And finally found someone just like you,
A
I was watching,
F#m
My whole life waitin’,
D Esus4 E
For God to see it through.
Bm A/C# D
And as he kissed her one last time,
Bm A/C# D
He said a prayer and closed his eyes,
Esus4 E
And she was watching.
[Outro]
A F#m
D E
She was watching.
A F#m
Oooh, she was watching,
D Esus4 E
