Daughter of Mine

These are the thoughts of a father

On the wedding day of his daughter

As his mind wanders back to the first time he held her

He looks at her now, the same pride in his eyes

As onto the dance floor they glide

It's the dance of the bride and her father.





[Chorus]

Dance with me daughter of mine

On this your wedding day

Dance with me daughter of mine

You'll soon be going away

I've loved you since you first began

Now you've met a new man

But I love you so, and this you must know

That my love won't falter

So dance with me daughter

Beautiful daughter of mine.



We walk down the aisle

On my face there's a smile

But deep in my heart there's a tear

Our friends and relations are here in the church

With smiles ontheir faces they stare

As we walk t'ward the man who has stolen your heart

And to whom I must give you away

BUt I wish you love and happiness too

On this your wedding day



Chorus



The dance has begun

We twirl around the floor

But I know you're not my little girl anymore

A lovely young woman has taken her place

And there's happiness written all over her face

But always remember although we must part

You may leave my arms but never my heart.
