I Won't Give You Away

Somehow the years passed faster than a dream
and an eighteen year old girl was standing in
front of me
she said she wanted to get married
and she told me the day
and she asked if I would give her away

I said I'll walk you down the aisle
but I won't give you away
you'll be daddy's little girl
till my dying day
I remember your first steps
your hugs and kisses at night
and I'll still be here for you
even when you're his wife

I wish you happiness with the man you love
and hope you both are blessed by the Lord
above
but before you buy the dress and say "I do"
just remember that Daddy loves you too

Yes, I'll walk you down the aisle
but I won't give you away
you'll be daddy's little girl
till my dying day
I remember your first steps
your hugs and kisses at night
and I'll still be here for you
even when you're his wife
