How I Love You
You were already eight when you came home
Not given the love you should have known
You'd suffered disappointments you were never meant to bear
I wish that I could heal your heart, but only God can reach you there
Oh, how I love you
Yes, I love you
How I love you, my darling girl
I'm not looking forward to your first date
Or borrowing the car keys - don't be home late
When I see you dressed up for prom in a gorgeous formal dress
I'll be thinking you grew up too fast - Man, I am gonna be a mess
Oh, how I love you
Yes, I love you
How I love you, my darling girl
I wasn't there when you were born; to see you come into the world
I didn't get to hold you in my arms
I never got to hear you laugh when you were a baby girl
I never got to see that smile that now lights up my whole world
But oh, I love you
Yes, I love you
How I love you, my darling girl
The man you marry better be a saint
He better fear The Lord - More than he fears me
I look forward to the day I'll get to walk you down the aisle
Mom'll probably be in tears, in a room lit up with smiles
Oh, how I love you
Yes, I love you
How I love you
Oh, how I love you
Yes, I love you
How I love you, my darling girl
Not given the love you should have known
You'd suffered disappointments you were never meant to bear
I wish that I could heal your heart, but only God can reach you there
Oh, how I love you
Yes, I love you
How I love you, my darling girl
I'm not looking forward to your first date
Or borrowing the car keys - don't be home late
When I see you dressed up for prom in a gorgeous formal dress
I'll be thinking you grew up too fast - Man, I am gonna be a mess
Oh, how I love you
Yes, I love you
How I love you, my darling girl
I wasn't there when you were born; to see you come into the world
I didn't get to hold you in my arms
I never got to hear you laugh when you were a baby girl
I never got to see that smile that now lights up my whole world
But oh, I love you
Yes, I love you
How I love you, my darling girl
The man you marry better be a saint
He better fear The Lord - More than he fears me
I look forward to the day I'll get to walk you down the aisle
Mom'll probably be in tears, in a room lit up with smiles
Oh, how I love you
Yes, I love you
How I love you
Oh, how I love you
Yes, I love you
How I love you, my darling girl
