I still remember your tiny hand
Wrapped around just one finger of mine
Pink shoes dancing through the kitchen light
Laughing like the world was yours to find
You’d fall asleep on my shoulder slow
While the TV played way too late
Back then I thought I had all the time
I never knew love could move this fast
Now here you are
Dressed in white
And somehow yesterday became tonight
Oh Abbey, you’ll always be my girl
No matter where this life may lead
I’ll see the child inside your smile
The little heartbeat next to me
And when you take another hand
And build a life out in this world
Just know no matter how far you go
Abbey, you’ll always be my girl
There were scraped-up knees and broken hearts
Long talks sitting out in the car
Dreams too big for this little town
But I always knew just who you are
Strong enough to stand alone
Soft enough to still believe
And every prayer I whispered for you
Became the woman I now see
And I’m so proud
More than words
Could ever carry in this world
Oh Abbey, you’ll always be my girl
The brightest light I’ve ever known
From bedtime stories and lullabies
To this moment letting go
And though today your life begins
With someone else beside your world
There’s one thing time will never change
Abbey, you’ll always be my girl
So dance slow tonight
Let the memories stay
Every laugh, every tear
Every step on the way
And if someday life feels heavy
Or the road gets hard to climb
You’ll still find your dad right here
Every single time
Oh Abbey, you’ll always be my girl
Even when the seasons change
And someday when your own child smiles
You’ll understand this love remains
So take this moment, spread your wings
Go chase this beautiful new world
But never forget wherever you are
Abbey… you’ll always be my girl
Yeah wherever you are
You’ll always be
My girl.
