[Verse 1]
Used to fit in tiny boots
Bows and glitter on the floor
Now they’re stealing mama’s makeup
Asking, “Who’s that on the porch?”
I smile and shake my head
Thinking ‘bout you someday, son
Whoever holds their hearts
Better know where they came from
[Chorus]
To my baby girls’ future husbands
Hope you’re kind, hope you’re brave
Hope you laugh at all their stories
Dance with them on tired days
You don’t have to be perfect
Just love them steady, love them true
And never forget
They were my baby girls first
Before they ever found you
[Verse 2]
You’ll think you chose them, boy
Truth is, they chose you
So listen when they’re quiet
And cheer when they break through
I’ve rocked them through the teardrops
I’ve patched every broken knee
I’m trusting you with all
This little family history
[Chorus]
To my baby girls’ future husbands
Hope you’re kind, hope you’re brave
Hope you laugh at all their stories
Dance with them on tired days
You don’t have to be perfect
Just love them steady, love them true
And never forget
They were my baby girls first
Before they ever found you
[Bridge]
One day I’ll walk them down that aisle
Trying hard to let ‘em go
I’ll shake your hand and see
If all these prayers have grown
[Chorus]
So to my baby girls’ future husbands
Hope you’re kind, hope you’re brave
Hope you hold ‘em when they’re hurting
Say you’re sorry when you change
You don’t have to be perfect
Just love them steady, love them true
And never forget
They were my baby girls first
Yeah, they’ll always be my baby girls first
Before they ever found you
