|
Daughter of Mine |
|
These are the thoughts of a father |
|
On the wedding day of his daughter |
|
As his mind wanders back to the first time he held her |
|
He looks at her now, the same pride in his eyes |
|
As onto the dance floor they glide |
|
This is the dance of the bride and her father |
|
Dance with me daughter of mine |
|
On this your wedding day |
|
Dance with me daughter of mine |
|
You'll soon be going away |
|
I loved you since you first began |
|
Now you've found a new man |
|
But I love you so, and this you must know |
|
That my love won't falter |
|
So dance with me daughter |
|
Beautiful daughter of mine |
|
We walk down the aisle |
|
On my face there's a smile |
|
But deep in my heart there's a tear |
|
Our friends and relations are here in the church |
|
With smiles on their faces they stare |
|
As we walk t'ward the man who has stolen your heart |
|
And to whom I must give you away |
|
But I wish you love and happiness too |
|
On this your wedding day |
|
Chorus |
|
The dance has begun |
|
We twirl around the floor |
|
But I know you're not my little girl anymore |
|
A lovely young woman has taken her place |
|
And there's happiness written all over her face |
|
But always remember although we must part |
|
You may leave my arms but never my heart |
|
Chorus |
