i kill spiders

i heard her calling my name from down the stairs

daddy please come quick

i'm really scared

i walked into her room and sat down beside her

she said there's something way down in the sheets

daddy please would you look

what could it be?

she held onto my arm

said maybe a spider

and i said

whenever you're lost and in the dark

remember you got me right in your heart

i can make anything a little bit brighter

there's nothing to fear in this big 'ol world

'cause you got me my sweet little girl

and 'til my last breath i'll be your fighter

i kill spiders

i kill spiders

i brushed the tear off her cheek

she closed her eyes

tucked her into the sheets

kissed her goodnight

i put together my hands and hit my knees

and i said

god up in heaven will you give me the strength

to be the dad she really needs

give her the courage to hear me and believe

when i say

whenever you're lost and in the dark

remember you got me right in your heart

i can make anything a little bit brighter

there's nothing to fear in this big 'ol world

'cause you got me my sweet little girl

and 'til my last breath i'll be your fighter

i kill spiders

i kill spiders

i could make a million bucks or be famous on tv

yeah but that don't really matter at all

'cause what she needs to hear from me is

whenever you're lost and in the dark

remember you got me right in your heart

i can make anything a little bit brighter

there's nothing to fear in this big 'ol world

'cause you got me my sweet baby girl

and 'til my last breath i'll be your fighter

i kill spiders

i kill spiders
