my little girl

[iamfairlyagile]

Gotta hold on easy as I let you go
Going to tell you how much I love you,
though you think you already know
I remember I thought
you looked like angel wrapped in pink
so soft and warm,
you've had me wrapped around your finger
since the day you were born

Beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams
but always know the road
that will lead you home again.
Go on, take on this old world,
but to me 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 when 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'

Beautiful baby from the outside in
chase your dreams
but always know the road
that will lead you home again.
Go on, take on this old world,
but to me you'll always be my little girl

Someday some boy will come
and ask me for your hand
but I wont' 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

Beautiful baby from the outside in
chase your dreams
but always know the road
that will lead you home again.
Go on, take on this old world,
but to me you'll always be my little girl
