Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You’re standing there in all that white
Trying to hide your shaking hands
I straighten out your little veil
Like I did your backpack straps back then
You laugh and say
“Dad
I’m okay”
But I can see you’re eight years old
Balancing on my old shoes
Spinning in this living room again
[Chorus]
So let me have this slow dance with my little girl
One more turn before I’m handing you the world
If I blink
You’re growing up
If I breathe
You’re gone
But you’re still the one who used to ride my shoulders home
I know he’ll treat you right
I’m proud of who you’ve become
But I’m holding on a little as I’m letting you go
So let me have this slow dance
With my little girl
[Verse 2]
I joke about your teenage years
The slammed doors and the late-night fights
You roll your eyes and pull me close
Whisper
“Thank you for every time”
For every game you sat outside
For every time you stayed awake
How did all those tired goodnights
Lead us to this perfect day
[Chorus]
So let me have this slow dance with my little girl
One more turn before I’m handing you the world
If I blink
You’re growing up
If I breathe
You’re gone
But you’re still the one who used to ride my shoulders home
I know he’ll treat you right
I’m proud of who you’ve become
But I’m holding on a little as I’m letting you go
So let me have this slow dance
With my little girl
[Bridge]
I practiced what I’d say tonight
But now the words all blur and break (mm)
There’s mascara on my jacket
Your heart beating through my chest plate
If someday you’re here in my place
With a daughter in your arms
Promise me you’ll get your chance
To lose and keep her in one dance (oh)
[Chorus]
So let him have that slow dance with his little girl
One more turn before he’s handing her the world
It goes fast
It goes faster than you’ll ever know
You close your eyes a moment and they’re letting you go
I’ll walk back to my chair
I’ll smile through the ache
But a part of me stays with you in every step you take
So let me have this slow dance
Just one more slow dance
With my little girl
