Forever My Little Girl

Weren't you just takin' your first steps?

Then you're stepping out in that prom dress

I stared that boy down like he was robbing me

So just like your first school bus

I trailed behind his bucket of rust

Thinkin' I swear to God that boy better not speed

I don't know why I worry

 You're tough just like me

But pretty like your mama

Man that karma's a hell of a thing

A strong young woman

But you're my whole world

No longer my baby

But forever my little girl

Well I survived that first date

Then those college yearsall the miles away

You'd think by now I'd be used to letting you go

But here we wait in this church hallway

And I thinkHow am I gonna give you away

So I say just like those first steps

Let's take it slow

I don't know why I worry

You're tough just like me

But pretty as your mama

On the day I gave her that ring

A strong young woman

You'll be his world

No longer my baby

But forever my little girl

No longer my baby

But forever my little girl
