July came in like a lamb last night

July came in like a lamb last night.
I held her in my arms until morning light.
I leaned over and gave her first kiss.
I didn't know that a dad could feel like this
The baby turned into daddy's girl.
Soon she was the center of daddy's world.
When July came in like a lamb that night,
I became her father that same night.
But I got a phone call the other day.
The man said "Listen to what I say"
Your girl is hurt real bad...
I got scared then I got sad...
"I'd give anything in the world
God, if you would save my girl."
But the doctor said, "She won't be coming home,
She arrived D.O.A., I'm afraid she's gone...."
And July went out like a lion that night.
I held her in my arms until morning light.
I leaned over and gave her last kiss...
I didn't know that a dad could hurt like this...
When July went out like a lion that night.
