Lyrics

V1
Well, I got some news today
With the “boy” my daughter calls “her man”
I wasn’t quite sure what to say . .
When he asked me for my daughter’s hand

‘cause her hand ain’t mine to give it
We gave her life – but it’s hers to live it
Still, she’ll always be her daddy’s girl.

V2
Seems like yesterday
She learned to walk across our floor
She’s always had a way
Of knowing what’s worth standing for

This old man could not be prouder
I say it soft, but I’ll sing it louder
She will always be her daddy’s girl.
Bridge
She’s been stubborn from the start
(that’s how she hides her tender heart)
So, play it smart boy, don’t ever hurt my girl.

She can be shy – but then again
She’s the type that’s true to the very end
She’s her mama’s best friend in this world.
But to me she’ll always be her daddy’s girl.

V3
When we walk down the aisle
She’ll be the woman on my arm
But I’ll recall the child
Still trying to keep her safe from harm

So, young man, if you really know her
You better love her and you better show her
There’s not another like her in this cold, cruel world.

So take her hand from me
And love her tenderly
But she will always be Her daddy’s girl
