Gotta hold on easy

as I let you go

Gonna tell you how

much I love you

though you think you

already know

I remember I thought

you looked like an angel

wrapped in pink

so soft and warm

You've had me wrapped

around your finger

since the day

you were born

You're beautiful baby

from the outside in

chase your dreams

but always know the road

that'll lead you home again

Go on, take on

this whole world

but to me you know

you'll always be

my little girl

When you were in trouble

that crooked little smile

could melt my heart

of stone

Now look at you

I've turned around and

you've almost grown

Sometimes you're asleep

I whisper I love you in the

moonlight at your door

As I walk away

I hear you say

Daddy, love you more

You're beautiful baby

from the outside in

chase your dreams

but always know the road

that'll lead you home again

Go on, take on

this whole world

but to me you know

you'll always be

my little girl

Someday, some boy

will come and ask

me for your hand

but I won't say yes to

him unless I know

He's the half that

makes you whole

he has a poet's soul

and the heart

of a man's man

I know he'll say

that he's in love

but between you and me

he won't be good enough

You're beautiful baby

from the outside in

chase your dreams

but always know the road

that'll lead you home again

Go on, take on

this whole world

but to me you know

you'll always be

my little girl
