(Verse 1)
I remember when you barely reached my knee
Pigtails bouncing, running wild and free
Now you’re standing in that white dress so beautiful and bright
Lord, where did the years go, seems like just last night
(Chorus)
You’ll always be daddy’s little girl
Even though you’re starting your own world
Walking down this aisle, you’re taking my heart with you
But I’m letting go ’cause that’s what daddies do
You’ll always be my baby, that will never change
Even when you take his name
(Verse 2)
I taught you how to ride that bike out in the yard
Scared you’d fall, but you were brave and tried so hard
Now I’m walking you to him, my hand upon your arm
Praying he’ll protect you, keep you safe from harm
(Chorus)
You’ll always be daddy’s little girl
Even though you’re starting your own world
Walking down this aisle, you’re taking my heart with you
But I’m letting go ’cause that’s what daddies do
You’ll always be my baby, that will never change
Even when you take his name
(Bridge)
Through the tears I’m smiling
As I place your hand in his
This ain’t goodbye forever
You’re still mine, you always will be
(Final Chorus)
You’ll always be daddy’s little girl
Now you’re blessing someone else’s world
Walking down this aisle, you’re taking my heart with you
But I’m proud to let you go, ’cause that’s what daddies do
You’ll always be my baby, that will never change
I love you
