This Dance, Our Dance

Intro

(Softly)

Little one... little one...

Verse

I remember holdin' your hand so small

Swingin' high on that backyard swing

Papa's girl with braids and scraped-up knees

Laughin' wild in the summer breeze

Taught you to ride that wobbly bike

Fell a hundred times, but you got it right

First day of school, tears in your eyes

I whispered, "Baby, you'll touch the sky"

Pre-chorus

Time flew fast, like a river's rush

Now here we stand in this holy hush

Chorus

This dance, our dance, one last time

From pigtails to this weddin' shine

My heart's so full, eyes misty blue

Proud of you, always proud of you

(Oh, my girl) Holdin' on, lettin' go

In this moment, forever we'll know

This dance, our dance, daddy's little light

Dancin' into your brand new life

Verse

Daddy-daughter trips to the county fair

Cotton candy stickin' everywhere

Late night talks 'bout dreams you'd chase

Watchin' you grow into grace

Boyfriends came, I played it tough

But deep down, knew you had enough

To find your way, to spread your wings

Now you're here, with diamond rings

Pre-chorus

Years rolled by, but the love stays true

Walkin' you down to somethin' new

Chorus

This dance, our dance, one last time

From pigtails to this weddin' shine

My heart's so full, eyes misty blue

Proud of you, always proud of you

(Oh, my girl) Holdin' on, lettin' go

In this moment, forever we'll know

This dance, our dance, daddy's little light

Dancin' into your brand new life

Bridge

(Soft, building)

You've always been my sunshine beam

Now shine for him, live your dream

I'll be watchin' from the front row seat

Love you more than words can speak

Chorus

This dance, our dance, one last time

From pigtails to this weddin' shine

My heart's so full, eyes misty blue

Proud of you, always proud of you

(Oh, my girl) Holdin' on, lettin' go

In this moment, forever we'll know

This dance, our dance, daddy's little light

Dancin' into your brand new life

Outro

(Repeat, fading)

My girl... my girl...

Proud of you... proud of you...

(Oh-oh) Little one... little one...
