I see you now
Dressed in white
A picture of grace
In the soft evening light
But I still see the girl
Who'd dance in my arms
With laughter that healed
With a heart full of charm
I taught you to dream
To stand on your own
And now you're a woman
So beautifully grown
The years flew by
And I'm holding them tight
From bedtime stories
To butterfly kisses at night
You'll always be
My little girl
My pride, my joy, my world
From scraped knees
To wedding rings
How life unfurls
Though you're starting a journey
A life of your own
My heart will follow
Wherever you roam
Today, was the day
I gave you away
Now my little girl
Has taken his name
I remember the nights
Of bedtime songs
Your tiny hand in mine
Where it belonged
The way you'd light up
When I'd spin you around
Now it's his turn
To keep your feet off the ground
From teaching you courage
To letting you go
Every step's been an honor to know
You'll always be
My little girl
My pride, my joy, my world
From scraped knees
To wedding rings
How life unfurls
Though you're starting a journey
A life of your own
My heart will follow
Wherever you roam
Today, was the day
I gave you away
Now my little girl
Has taken his name
Every step down this aisle
Is a memory's thread
A story of love
In the life that we've led
I hope he knows
Just how lucky he is
To have your heart
Your laughter, your kiss
And though I'm letting you go today
My love for you
Will never fade away
