Dad

From the very first breath on the day I was born

You kept me safe and you kept me warm

You raised me up, you taught me so much

I found my strength in your guiding touch

Whenever I needed you, you were right there

Showing me how a father should care

Now you're walking me down the aisle today

Giving my hand, but not my heart away

Through all of our ups and the downs in our world

I want you to know, I'm still your little girl

Yeah, no matter how much my life will unfurl

Dad, I'll always be your little girl

I think of the times that we practiced the sway

Learning the steps for this beautiful day

Counting the rhythm to a melody played

Building a memory that never will fade

Now it's coming to life, the moment is here

I'm holding your arm as the music draws near

Now you're walking me down the aisle today

Giving my hand, but not my heart away

Through all of our ups and the downs in our world

I want you to know, I'm still your little girl

Yeah, no matter how much my life will unfurl

Dad, I'll always be your little girl

We had our moments, the highs and the lows

But that's just the way that a real love grows

You gave me the roots so I could fly free

And you are the reason I'm who I should be

Before the vows, before the rings

I just want to thank you for everything

As you're walking me down the aisle today

Giving my hand, but not my heart away

Through all of our ups and the downs in our world

I want you to know, I'm still your little girl

Yeah, no matter how much my life will unfurl

Dad, I love you, and I'm your little girl
