1. My Little Girl Lyrics

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

You beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that’ll lead you home again
Go on take on this old world but to me you know you will always be
My little girl

When you were in trouble that crooked little smile would melt my heart of stone
Now look at you I’ve turned around and you’ve almost grown
Sometimes your 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 beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that’ll lead you home again
Go on take on this old world but to me you know you will 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 poets soul
And the heart of a mans man
I know he’ll say that he’s in love, but between you and me
He won’t be good enough

You beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that’ll lead you home again
Go on take on this old world but to me you know you will always be
My little girl

2. Butterfly Kisses Lyrics

There’s two things I know for sure
She was sent here from Heaven,
and she’s daddy’s little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night,
she talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes
And I thank God for all the joy in my life,
But most of all for….

Chorus
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.

“Walk beside the pony, daddy,it’s my first ride”.
I know the cake looks funny, daddy, but I sure tried”.

Oh, with all that I’ve done wrong,
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses at night”

Sweet sixteen today,
She’s looking like her momma a little more each day
One part woman, the other part girl,
To perfume and make-up
from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world.
But I remember…..

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.

“You know how much I love you, daddy,
But if you don’t mind
I’m only going to kiss you on the cheek this time”
Oh, with all that I’ve done wrong,
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses at night”

All the precious time
Like the wind, the years go by
Precious butterfly, spread your wings and fly,
She’ll change her name today
She’ll make a promise
And I’ll give her away
Standing in the bride room just staring at her
She asked me what I’m thinking, and I said “I’m not sure, I just feel like I’m loosing my baby girl”.
Then she looked over…and gave me…

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
“Walk me down the aisle, daddy, it’s just about time. Does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy? Daddy, don’t cry”

With all that I’ve done wrong, I must have done something right,
To deserve her love every morning and
butterfly kisses at night.

I couldn’t ask God for more,
man, this is what love is
I know I’ve got to let her go, but I’ll always remember….
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
With all that I’ve done wrong, I must have done something right,
To deserve her love every morning and
butterfly kisses at night.

3. I Loved Her First Lyrics

Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each others face
So much in love your alone in this place
Like there’s nobody else in the world
I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one
She told me so
And she still means the world to me
Just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl
Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I’m not gonna stand in your way

I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she’d find you someday
But it still hard to give her away
I loved her first

How could that beautiful women with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she’d find you someday
But its still hard to give her away
I loved her first

From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I’m going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first

4. Stealing Cinderella Lyrics

I came to see her daddy for sit down man to man
It wasn’t any secret i’d be asking for her hand
I guess that’s why he left me waiting in the living room by myself
with at least a dozen pictures of her sitting on a shelf

- Chorus -

She was playing Cinderella
She was riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
In her eyes i’m Prince Charming
But to him i’m just some fella
riding in and stealing Cinderella

I leaned in towards those pictures to get a better look at one
When I heard a voice behind me say “Now, ain’t she something, son?”
I said “Yes, she quite a woman”
and he just stared at me
Then I realized that in his eyes she would always be

Playing Cinderella
Riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
In her eyes i’m Prince Charming
But to him i’m just some fella
riding in and stealing Cinderella

He slapped me on the shoulder
Then he called her in the room
When she threw her arms around him
That’s when I could see it too

She was playing cinderella
Riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
If he gives me a hard time
I can’t blame the fella
I’m the one who’s stealing Cinderella

5. Daddy’s Little Girl Lyrics

You’re the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold
You’re daddy’s little girl to have and to hold
A precious gem is what you are
You’re mommy’s bright and shining star

You’re the spirit of Christmas, my star on the tree
You’re the Easter Bunny to mommy and me
You’re sugar, you’re spice, you’re everything nice
And you’re daddy’s little girl

You’re the treasure I cherish, so sparkling and bright
You were touched by the holy and beautiful light
Like angels that sing, a heavenly thing
And you’re daddy’s little girl

Lyrics for Other Father/Daughter Songs

1) And Then They Do - Trace Atkins

In the early rush of morning
Trying to get the kids to school
One’s hanging on my shirttail
Another’s locked up
In her room
And I’m yelling up the stairs
Stop worrying ’bout your hair
You look fine

Then they’re fightin’ in the backseat
I’m playing referee
Now someone’s gotta go
The moment that we leave
And everybody’s late
I swear that I can’t wait
‘Till they grow up

(Chorus) Then they do
And that’s how it is
It’s just quiet in the morning
Can’t believe
How much you miss
All they do
And all they did
You want all the dreams
They dreamed of
To come true
Then they do

Now the youngest is starting college
She’ll be leavin’ in the Fall
And Brianna’s latest boyfriend
Called to ask if we could talk
And I got the impression
That he’s about to pop the question any day

I look over at their pictures
Sittin’ in their frames
I see them as babies
I guess that’ll never change
You pray all their lives
That someday they will find happiness

(Chorus)

No more Monday PTA’s
No carpools
Or soccer games
Your work is done
Now you’ve got time
That’s all your own
You’ve been waitin’ for so long
For those days to come

2) In My Daughters Eyes - Martina McBride

In my daughter’s eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter’s eyes

In my daughter’s eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter’s eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It’s hangin’ on when your heart
has had enough
It’s giving more when you feel like giving up
I’ve seen the light
It’s in my daughter’s eyes

In my daughter’s eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she’ll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I’m gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I’ll be there
In my daughter’s eyes

4. I Hope You Dance – Lee Ann Womack

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance….I hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances but they’re worth takin’,
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’,
Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin’ out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance..
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)

5) Ready Set Don’t Go -Billy Ray & Miley Cyrus

And I’ve gotta like it or not
She’s got dreams too big for this town
And she needs to give ‘em a shot

I painted this big ol’ smile on my face
To hide my broken heart

This is where I want to but I won’t get in the way
Of her and her dreams
And spreadin’ her wings (im ready to fly)

6) Gift Of Love - Randy Travis

When you were born
There in your mother’s arms
An angel told me always you will be
A gift of love from God to me

Though your road is long
I’ll be right by your side
Through changes you’ll see always you will be
A gift of love from God to me

Love took flight the day you came into my life
There is magic in the way I feel
Hearts opened wide gazing into your eyes
I’ll be there for you
As long as I am alive

I have never loved
More than I love you
A gift for free always you will be
A gift of love from God to me

7)Daddy’s Little Girl (Blaine Roy song)

I use to hold her tears on my shoulder
I use to make her smile
I watched her grow as she got older
How I miss my little girl now
Remembering high school
Thought she was so cool
Working away at my nerves
And a Cap and gown would make no daddy frown
But How I still miss my little girl
She’s still inside my heart
no matter near or far apart
I won’t let those miles stand in the way Oh no
because she will always be daddy’s little girl
Then there was college
Thirsting for knowledge
Learning the ways of the world
Married a young man
There making big plans
Waiting on their baby girl
She’s still inside my heart
No matter how near or far apart
I won’t let those miles stand in the way
Oh no. She will always be daddy’s little girl.
She might be a woman now
but I can still remember how
I use hold her tears on my shoulder
I use to make her smile

8)There Goes My Life - Kenny Chesney

All he could think about was I’m too young for this.
Got my whole life ahead.
Hell I’m just a kid myself.
How’m I gonna raise one.

All he could see were his dreams goin’ up in smoke.
So much for ditchin’ this town and hangin’ out on the coast.
Oh well, those plans are long gone.

And he said,
There goes my life.
There goes my future, my everything.
Might as well kiss it all good-bye.
There goes my life…….

A couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later.
That mistake he thought he made covers up the refrigerator.
Oh yeah……….he loves that little girl.

Momma’s waiting to tuck her in,
As she thumbles up those steps.
She smiles back at him dragging that teddy bear.
Sleep tight, blue eyes and bouncin’ curls.

He smiles…..
There goes my life.
There goes my future, my everything.
I love you, daddy good-night.
There goes my life.

She had that Honda loaded down.
With Abercrombie clothes and 15 pairs of shoes and his American Express.
He checked the oil and slammed the hood, said, “You’re good to go.”
She hugged them both and headed off to the West Coast.

And he cried,
There goes my life
There goes my future, my everything.
I love you.
Baby good-bye.

There goes my life.
There goes my life.
Baby good-bye.
baby good-bye.
there goes my life.
