[Whisper: Spoken, very soft] You’ll always be my little girl No matter where your life will turn [Intro: Instrumental, gentle piano] [Verse 1] I held your hand when you were small Caught every tear, stopped every fall Your laughter filled these quiet walls My whole wide world inside it all [Pre-Chorus] Now I watch you walk away Pride and pain won’t stay apart [Chorus] Go build your life, go find your home Love him well, you’re not alone My heart stays close though I’m not near A father’s love is always here [Verse 2] I see the ring shine on your hand A future I now understand He’ll stand beside you through the years Protect your joy and calm your fears [Pre-Chorus] I let you go with tearful pride Love means I step back tonight [Chorus] Go build your life, go find your home Love him well, you’re not alone My heart stays close though I’m not near A father’s love is always here [Verse 3] I fold my dreams and let them rest Your happiness, my final test If letting go is loving true I’d choose it all again for you [Bridge] I don’t lose you, love just grows From holding tight to letting go [Final Chorus] Go build your life, go find your home Laugh with him, you’re not alone I’ll be right here through every year Through silent nights and joyful tears I miss the child you used to be I love the woman I now see Walk in joy and walk in light My heart walks with you every night [Outro: Instrumental, soft strings] [Whisper: Spoken, breaking] If the world feels heavy someday… Come home. I’m still your dad.
