God I hold on easy as I let you go
Gonna tell you how much I love you though you think you already know
I remember I thought you looked like a angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm
You’ve had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born

You beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that will lead you home again
Go on take on this old world but to me you know you will always be
My little girl

When you were in trouble that crooked little smile melted my heart of stone
Now look at you you’ve turned around and you’ve almost grown
Sometimes when your asleep I whisper I love you in the moonlight at your door
As I walk away I hear you say “daddy love you more”

You beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that will lead you home again
Go on take on this old world but to me you know you will always be
My little girl

Someday some boy will come and ask me for your hand
But I won’t say yes to him unless I know
He’s the half that makes you whole
He has a poets soul
And the heart of a mans man
I know he’ll say that he’s in love, but between you and me
He won’t be good enough

You beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that will lead you home again
Go on take on this old world but to me you know you will always be
My little girl
