The sweetest thing a man could ever hold Wrap in pink only moments old Whispy locks beneath her knitty hat Ill never forget that The first time she walk and let go of my hand Is the first time i began to understand Each baby step away from me Was a giant leap to the woman she would be. My baby girl i'll do my best to teach you all i know Protect you while i give you the space to grow Know when to hold you close and when to let you go. Before i knew it she was driving my chevrolet And me and god grew close to all my praying Then she got a ticket Goin too fast had tears in her eyes But i just couldn't get mad Shes just like her dad. My baby girl i'll do my best to teach you al i know Protect you while i give you the space to grow Know when to hold close and when to let you go. Someday you'll be The most beautiful bride And i'll struggle to walk you down the aisle. No longer a girl You'll be a woman by my side But through that veil I see a child. My baby girl I'll do my best to teach you all I know Protect you while i give you the space to grow And i'm gonna hold you close Till i have to let you go. My baby girl.
