Daughter

(Intro)

I didn’t choose how your story began

But I chose to be your dad

And if I could live my life all over again

I’d choose you

I’d choose you every time.

(Verse)

She may not have my features, but I see her through my eyes

And every little piece of her has made me realize

There were years before I knew her, moments I can’t get back

But the first day that she found me, I knew I’d found my path

(Chorus)

She ain't my blood, ain't got my name

if she did, I'd feel the same

I wasn't there for her first steps

But I ain't missed a one since then

that ain't ever gonna change

I could never stir away

she's my baby, my whole world

She’s my girl

(Verse)

I still remember that little voice the first time she said “Dad”

A simple word that somehow changed the life I thought I had

She drew a picture of our family, three hearts side by side

I put it on the refrigerator and kept that memory alive

(Chorus)

She ain't my blood, ain't got my name

if she did, I'd feel the same

I wasn't there for her first steps

But I ain't missed a one since then

that ain't ever gonna change

I could never stir away

she's my baby, my whole world

she's my girl

(Bridge)

If your pappy was here today

Like to think he would say

How proud of you he was this day

That everything is gonna be okay

I know I can’t fill his shoes

But this is the best I can do

I love you more then you could know

Was so glad to watch you grow…

(Outro)

I know there’s someone watching who would give anything to be here

To see the woman standing there and wipe away a tear

I could never take his place, and I would never try

I just hope he knows I’ll love her for the rest of my life
