Lyrics
Daughter Of Mine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
It's the dance of the bride and her father.
[Chorus]
Dance with me daughter of mine
On this your wedding day
Dance with me daughter of mine
You'll soon be going away
I've loved you since you first began
Now you've met 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 ontheir 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
