CDG
Little girl of mine
CDG
You're growin' up is through
CDEmC
And in this dance, this is my last chance
CDG
To say these words to you
I always knew this day would come
Since the day you were born
And I apologize for these teary eyes
That's not what we're here for
I've never been an open man
That you already know
So on this day that I give you away
Here's my gift to you
Chorus:
CDG
I wish you all the love, the happiness
CDG
One could ever have
CDG
And a world of deep passions
CDG
Your old man never had
CDG
Still I owe you the world
CDEmC
For not givin' up on me
CDEmC
'Cause I'm just proud I could still be around
CDG
On your special day
Oh little girl of mine
I guess you're on your way
But the love you have can't replace your dad's
Until my dying day
There's one more thing that I want you to know
Before this dance is through
I worked me life just to see this night
And give my heart to you
Chorus
'Cause I was the man
That was holdin' your hand
Until your special day
