Lyrics:
“Daddy Dance With Me”
I know what you see when you look at me
As we walk down the aisle
Little pink tutu, bows and tennis shoes
In the wide eyes of your child
Those are all the memories you will cherish and you’ll carry
No matter how much time has come and goneDaddy dance with me
I want you to see the woman I’ve become.
Daddy don’t let go
I want you to know I’ll always need your love.
Today I became his wife
But I’ll be your baby girl for life.Don’t know what to do when I look at you
Words can’t say enough
What you’ve done for me
You gave me what I need
You were tender, you were tough
Cause the world you built around me is the strength that will surround me
And protect me now that I am on my ownDaddy dance with me
I want you to see the woman I’ve become.
Daddy don’t let go
I want you to know I’ll always need your love.
Today I became his wife
But I’ll be your baby girlYou gave me faith, you gave me life
You trusted me to live it right
And now you give your blessing on his love and mine.Daddy dance with me
I want you to know I’ll always need your love.
Today I became his wife
But I’ll be your baby girl for life.
