Daddy's Heart
I was waiting in the delivery room
Doc said, son, she'll be here soon
I hear a cry it's a baby girl
She's the cutest thing in the whole wide world
And I knew, my life won't be the same
I held her in my arms that day
God, please never take her away
With the miracle of birth, a new man walked upon the earth
My daddy's heart was born that day
Yellow bus and pink backpack
I say I love you, she just waves back
She's got a mind of her very own
Independent but not quit grown
She didn't see the tear run down my face
As she left my arms that day
I watched that big old bus take my little girl away
As she went off to school I stood there crying like a fool
Daddy's heart took off that day
She's all dressed up in blinding white
My baby girl became a bride
Longest walk down the shortest aisle
Toward the man with her favorite smile
I hope he doesn't break my heart
I held onto her arm that day
I looked at him as if to say
Love her 'til the day you die
Please, son, never make her cry
I gave my daddy's heart away
She came to see me one last time
Almost to that finish line
And as I close my tired eyes
It's her turn now to hold me tight
I held him in my arms today
God please carry him away
I'm trying to be tough, but I sure will miss his steady love
Though he slipped away
I know he won't be far
'Cause every daughter is her daddy's heart
Doc said, son, she'll be here soon
I hear a cry it's a baby girl
She's the cutest thing in the whole wide world
And I knew, my life won't be the same
I held her in my arms that day
God, please never take her away
With the miracle of birth, a new man walked upon the earth
My daddy's heart was born that day
Yellow bus and pink backpack
I say I love you, she just waves back
She's got a mind of her very own
Independent but not quit grown
She didn't see the tear run down my face
As she left my arms that day
I watched that big old bus take my little girl away
As she went off to school I stood there crying like a fool
Daddy's heart took off that day
She's all dressed up in blinding white
My baby girl became a bride
Longest walk down the shortest aisle
Toward the man with her favorite smile
I hope he doesn't break my heart
I held onto her arm that day
I looked at him as if to say
Love her 'til the day you die
Please, son, never make her cry
I gave my daddy's heart away
She came to see me one last time
Almost to that finish line
And as I close my tired eyes
It's her turn now to hold me tight
I held him in my arms today
God please carry him away
I'm trying to be tough, but I sure will miss his steady love
Though he slipped away
I know he won't be far
'Cause every daughter is her daddy's heart
