My Little Girl (From "My Friend Flicka")

Gotta hold on easy as I let you go

Gonna tell you how much I love you, though you think you already know

I remember I thought you looked like an angel

Wrapped in pink, so soft and warm

You've had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born

You're beautiful, baby, from the outside in

Chase your dreams, but always know the road

That'll lead you home again

Go on, take on this whole world, but to me, you know you'll always be

My little girl

When you were in trouble, that crooked little smile

Could melt my heart of stone

Now look at you, I've turned around, and you've almost grown

Sometimes you're asleep, I whisper I love you

In the moonlight at your door

As I walk away, I hear you say, "Daddy, love you more"

You're beautiful, baby, from the outside in

Chase your dreams, but always know the road

That'll lead you home again

Go on, take on this whole world, but to me, you know you'll always be

My little girl

Someday, some boy'll come and ask me for your hand

But I won't say yes to him unless I know

He's the half that makes you whole, he has a poet's soul

And the heart of a man's man, I know he'll say that he's in love

But between you and me, he won't be good enough

You're beautiful, baby, from the outside in

Chase your dreams, but always know the road

That'll lead you home again

Go on, take on this whole world, but to me, you know you'll always be

My little girl
