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

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"

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

Go on, take on this whole world but to me you know you'll always be
