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

[Chorus]
Your 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!"

[Chorus]

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!

[Chorus]
