Michael Bublé’s introduction to the music of the swing era came to him through his grandfather, who filled his grandson’s ears with the sounds of The Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and others. As Bublé eagerly absorbed the recordings, he began to realize that he wanted to be a singer and that this style of music, virtually foreign to his own generation, was what he wanted to perform.
With his grandfather’s assistance, Bublé soon learned a whole catalog of tunes and gained experience and exposure by singing as a guest with several local bands. While still in his teen years, he won the Canadian Youth Talent Search, released several independent albums, and performed in a musical review titled Swing that traveled across the U.S. It wasn’t long before Bublé was introduced to Grammy-winning producer David Foster during a famous Canadian wedding of Brian Mulroney’s daughter Caroline Mulroney. He later signed his first major recording contract with Reprise Records after that encounter.
The two Canadians began work on a debut album that would incorporate Bublé’s aptitude for pop standards into songs that spanned several decades. His self-titled debut disc was released in early 2003, and featured jazzy takes on old standards like “Fever” and “The Way You Look Tonight” as well as newer classics like “Moondance” and “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”.
He finished off 2003 with an EP of holiday material, Let It Snow, and began 2004 with the live CD/DVD set Come Fly With Me. In 2005, It’s Time was a number one hit in Canada, Japan, Italy, and Australia, and made the top ten of both the UK and US. Later that year he released the live album Caught in the Act. More recently, Michael received a 2010 Grammy Award for 'Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album' for 'Michael Bublé Meets Madison Square Garden.

You're daddy's little girl to have and hold
A precious gem is what you are
You're mommy's bright and shining star
You're the spirit of Christmas, my star on the tree
You're the Easter bunny to mommy and me
You're sugar you're spice, you're everything nice
You're the end of the rainbow, a pot of gold
You're daddy's little girl to have and hold
A precious gem is what you are
You're mommy's bright and shining star
You're the spirit of Christmas, my star on the tree
You're the Easter bunny to mommy and me
You're sugar you're spice, you're everything nice
And you're daddy's little girl
You're the spirit of Christmas, the star on the tree
You're the Easter bunny for mommy and me
You're sugar you're spice, you're everything nice
And you're daddy's little girl

You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,
You're daddy's little girl to have and to hold.
A precious gem is what you are,
You're mom-my's bright and shi-ning star.
You're the spirit of Christmas, my star on the tree,
You're the Easter Bunny to mommy and me;
You're sugar, you're spice, you're ev'-ry-thing nice,
And you're daddy's little girl.
(Instrumental Interlude -- First Half)
You're the treasure I cherish, so sparkling and bright;
You were touched by the Holy and beautiful light.
Like angels that sing, a hea-ven-ly thing,
And you're daddy's little girl.

My Dad couldn't sing or dance, but when we danced to it at my wedding, the smile of happiness and pride on his face made me cry. He passed away five years ago, but I still smile and get teary-eyed when I hear this song and think of that smile of his. God, how I miss him.

My Grandfather raised me with my Grandmother and when I was little I was scared of the dark so he would lay with me and we'd say our prayers then he would always sing this to me. But he would replace daddy with Grandpas little girl💜💔 he had such a beautiful loving voice. I miss them both more than words could explain.. Rest in peace Grandma and Grandpa. I love yall with all my heart!

Today is the 18th anniversary of my father's death...he was killed in an accident when i was 11 years old. He used to sing this song to me before I'd go to sleep each night. Micheal Buble sings it wonderfully...but I'd give anything to hear my Daddy sing this to me one more time! RIP Daddy! <3
