Weight of a Girl

She was three years old In those Minnie Mouse ears Draggin' me down Main Street With a bag of souvenirs Ran straight for the castle Tryin' to see Cinderella So I picked her up And let me tell ya When you got the weight of a girl on your shoulders You'd do anything to keep her from gettin' older Cuz you know they'll come a day you can't hold her As high as you want to Yea, when you're a father to a daughter You hope she'll remember everything you taught her Wish you could hold on a little longer And life would move slower With the weight of a girl on your shoulders I'm losin' sleep Over things that haven't happened Like when she grows up I can't even imagine Cuz I know that some day She's gonna get her heart hurt It's already heavier on me Than it'll be on her When you got the weight of a girl on your shoulders You'd do anything to keep her from gettin' older Cuz you know they'll come a day you can't hold her As high as you want to Yea, when you're a father to a daughter You hope she'll remember everything you taught her Wish you could hold on a little longer And life would move slower With the weight of a girl on your shoulders I'll always lift her up Givin' her all my love I gotta be strong enough When you got the weight of a girl on your shoulders You'd do anything to keep her from gettin' older Cuz you know they'll come a day you can't hold her As high as you want to When you're a father to a daughter Hope she'll remember everything you taught her And wish you could hold on a little longer And life would move slower With the weight of a girl on your shoulders Mmm
