You'll Always Be My Girl

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I still see your boots by the back porch door Mud on the mat from the summer storm You held my bike while I learned to ride Then let go softly, stood by my side [Pre-Chorus] Time moves fast, but one thing stays Your steady hand through all my days [Chorus] You’ll always be my daughter, my girl My favorite piece of this big wide world Wherever your road bends, wherever you roam You’ll have a place and you’ll have a home I may not say it every hour But you’re my heart, my strongest flower No matter how far life pulls us apart You’ll always be my girl, you’ll always be my heart [Verse 2] I watched you trade those sneakers for heels Chase a dream only you could feel You called me laughing from your first new town Said, “Dad, I think I’m gonna make it now” [Pre-Chorus] I heard the courage in your voice And knew you’d make your own brave choice [Chorus] You’ll always be my daughter, my girl My favorite piece of this big wide world Wherever your road bends, wherever you roam You’ll have a place and you’ll have a home I may not say it every hour But you’re my heart, my strongest flower No matter how far life pulls us apart You’ll always be my girl, you’ll always be my heart [Bridge] When your own hands hold a little one And you see the morning just begun Remember love is more than words It’s showing up when the road gets hard And if the years turn silver-gray I’ll still be cheering you the same [Final Chorus] You’ll always be my daughter, my girl My favorite piece of this big wide world Wherever your road bends, wherever you roam You’ll have a place and you’ll have a home Raise your voice and take your power You’ve been my joy in every hour No matter how far life pulls us apart You’ll always be my girl, you’ll always be my heart [Outro] My girl, my daughter, my heart You’ll always be my girl
