God Bless the Boy (Cori's Song)

She won't let me help her tie her shoes
"No, Daddy, I can do it myself"
When she don't get her way
She'll cross her arms and hold her breath
She's a handful, she's a mess
Diggin' in the dirt in her princess dress
Goes from tiny tornado to sleepin' on my chest

God bless the boy
That melts the way I do
When she smiles at him the first time
He'll be done, oh, he'll be through
Give him patience and kindness
And a heart that's full of her
And the sense to know just what she's worth
'Cause ain't nobody ever gonna be good enough
So God bless the boy she decides to love

I hope his daddy's teachin' him
How to shake my hand and look me in the eye
And takin' him fishin' and bustin' his butt
When he ain't actin' right
I hope he's in every prayer his mama prays
And learns to work for every dollar he gets
And has a sense of humor, gonna need it for a girl like this

God bless the boy
That melts the way I do
When she smiles at him the first time
He'll be done, oh, he'll be through
Give him patience and kindness
And a heart that's full of her
And the sense to know just what she's worth
'Cause ain't nobody ever gonna be good enough
So God bless the boy she decides to love

God bless the boy
That melts the way I do
When she smiles at him the first time
He'll be done, oh, he'll be through
There ain't nobody ever gonna be good enough
So God bless the boy she decides to love

Oh, God bless the boy she decides to love
