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 You 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" 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 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 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
