Scarlet Ribbons

From the cradle to the throne, my flesh & my bones
Is that the way it's supposed to be: how the story goes?
Ribbons & bows: like a thorn on a rose
When the one man who gave it all to you has to let you go
He found for me scarlet ribbons
Those scarlet ribbons for my hair
What becomes of a fathers love, when another has his daughters love?
Don't you know they'll never be above, I'll always be your little girl
It's all borrowed time & you always said I would regret it
If I grew up too fast, but my heart is strong & true
I'm doing fine, the things that you said, I won't forget 'em
I'll do as you ask & always play fair for you
You found for me scarlet ribbons
Those scarlet ribbons for my hair
What becomes of a fathers love, when another has his daughters love?
Don't you know they'll never be above, I'll always be your little girl
There's a part of you in every part me
(you should know better)
Maybe you should know I won't let that go
Long as I can cry on your shoulder won't be growing up just older
You have got to let me go
You found for me scarlet ribbons
Those scarlet ribbons for my hair
What becomes of a fathers love, when another has his daughters love?
Don't you know they'll never be above, I'll always be your little girl
I'll always be, always be your little girl
Always be, always be your little girl
Always be, always be your little girl
Always be, always be your little girl
You've got to let it go
You've got to let it go
You've got to let it go…
