The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Gotta hold on easy as I let you go Going to 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're beautiful baby, from the outside in Chase your dreams but always know The road that will lead you home again Go on, take on this old 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 turned around and you've almost grown Sometimes when 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 You're beautiful baby, from the outside in Chase your dreams but always know The road that will lead you home again Go on, take on this old 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 You're beautiful baby, from the outside in Chase your dreams but always know The road that will lead you home again Go on, take on this old world but to me You know you'll always be my little girl
