...signed, Daddy (the first man who ever loved you)

— Who Am I Without Him? by Sharon G. Flake

Peppermint Patty: Hey, Chuck see what my dad gave me for my birthday? A dozen red roses!

Charlie Brown: Wow!

Peppermint Patty: He said that soon, I'm going to be a beautiful young lady and all the boys are going to be calling me and giving me things and taking me out on dates... so he wanted to be the first one to ever give me a dozen red roses! He calls me a "rare gem".

Charlie Brown: Your dad likes you. Happy birthday.

Peppermint Patty: (staring happily at the roses) Suddenly, I feel very feminine!

"You have a little girl. An adorable little girl who looks up to you and adores you in a way you could never imagine. I remember how her little hand used to fit inside mine. How she used to sit in my lap and lean her head against my chest. She said that I was her hero."

— George, Father of the Bride (1991)

Homer: Little Lisa, Lisa Simpson. You know, I always felt you were the best thing my name ever got attached to. Since the time you learned to pin your own diapers, you've been smarter than me.

Lisa: Oh, Dad —

Homer: No, no, let me finish. I just want you to know I've always been proud of you. You're my greatest accomplishment and you did it all yourself. You helped me understand my own wife better and taught me to be a better person, but you're also my daughter, and I don't think anybody could have had a better daughter than you—

Lisa: Dad, you're babbling.

Homer: See? You're still helping me.

— The Simpsons, "Lisa's Wedding"

Igniculus: So much feeling, I wish I knew,
Aurora, what does a father do?

Aurora: A father tucks you into bed,
He holds you when you are sad,
He always knows what to do
He is the best friend you ever had.

Igniculus: How can one father do all that?

Aurora: That is what fathers are good at.

— Child of Light

Patty: It's so typical of the big doofus to spoil it all.

Lisa: What, Aunt Patty?

Patty: Oh, nothing, dear. I'm just trashing your father.

Lisa: Well, I wish you wouldn't, because, aside from the fact that he has the same frailties as all human beings, he's the only father I have. Therefore, he is my model of manhood, and my estimation of him will govern the prospects of my adult relationships. So I hope you bear in mind that any knock at him is a knock at me, and I am far too young to defend myself against such onslaughts.

— The Simpsons, "Simpsons Roasting On An Open Fire"

Lisa: Dad, I understand the sacrifice you've made for me. That's why I gave up the pony.
Homer: You did?
Lisa: There's a big, dumb animal I love more than that horse.
Homer: Oh, no, what is it? A hippopotamus?
Lisa: [sincerely] I mean you, you dummy.

— The Simpsons, "Lisa's Pony"

To a father growing old, nothing is dearer than a daughter.

— Euripides

"A daughter may outgrow your lap, but she will never outgrow your heart."

— Unknown Author

"To her, the name of Father, was another name for love."

— Fanny Fern

Father, listen, tell him that he's got a home and he don't have to go
Father, save him, I would do anything in return
I'll clean my room, try hard in school
I'll be good, I promise you
Father, Father, I pray to you

She was daddy's lil' girl

— Frankie J, "Daddy's Little Girl"

You're a big girl now
No more daddy's little girl (Oh, ho, ho, ho)
You're a big girl now
No more daddy's little girl (Oh, ho, ho, ho)

No more pigtails in your hair
No more silly looks with a childish glare
No more doll for you to play
No more dumbness in the things you say

You're a big girl now
No more daddy's little girl (Oh, ho, ho, ho)
You're a big girl now
No more daddy's little girl (Oh, ho, ho, ho)

You can love, girl, if you must
You can kiss, girl, if you must
What you'll see day by day
All the realness in your way

And you're a big girl now
No more daddy's little girl (Oh, ho, ho, ho)
You're a big girl now
No more daddy's little girl (Oh, ho, ho, ho)

Baby, I love you
(Yes, I do) Oh, yes, I do now
(In all my life) In all my life
(You're my dream come true) You're my dream come true
(You're a big girl now) You're a big girl now
(Yes, you are)
(You're my happiness) Shining star

You're a big girl now
No more daddy's little girl (Oh, ho, ho, ho)
You're a big girl now
