In a quiet room in the hush of night
I held you close bathed in soft moonlight
From the moment you left that hospital
I knew my heart belonged to you my sweet child
Tiny fingers a fragile hand to hold
In your eyes a story yet untold
Through every laugh through every tear
I've watched you grow my love sincere
Oh my daughter you're my shining star
From your first breath to where you are
I'll cherish each moment I'll hold you tight
From the white crib to the day you wear the white
I'll be there when you take your first step
And through every challenge my love I won't forget
From the schoolyard to the starry night
I'll be your guiding light my dear hold on tight
Once I was your world you were so small
In my arms I held you my precious all
I tucked you in and I'd kiss your head
As you drifted to dreamland safe in your bed
Then you grew a bit and oh how time did fly
Now you leave your bed and come to mine!
With morning's first light your love so true
Daddy I love you let's play just us two
In that moment life showed its funny side
As I was passed by on this incredible ride
And as time passes and you find your way
Know my love for you will never fade away
Though I'll miss the moments that slip through my grasp
You'll forever be in mom and dad's heart a love that will last
So my darling as you walk down the aisle
In a gown of white with a radiant smile
Know that my love will light your way
Forever and always my sweet child you'll stay
Oh My Daughter in your gown of white
With tears of joy we'll share our delight
