Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 He was waitin’ in that hospital room Boots by the door, smellin’ like Old Spice and gasoline fumes Nurse laid me in his calloused hands And that tough man cried like nobody can Pink blanket, tiny curls He said, “Welcome to the world, my little girl.” He taught me how to ride that bike Ran beside me every night Let go before I knew he did Said, “Baby, you were born to win.” Pre-Chorus Every scraped knee, every broken heart He was there before the fall apart Chorus I’m still his little girl Even with the keys to my own front door Even when I say I don’t need him anymore He’s the first man I ever loved The standard I’m still thinkin’ of And no matter how fast this whole world twirls I’ll always be His little girl Verse 2 High school parking lot, prom night He checked the clock twice, said, “Be home by midnight.” Shot that boy a don’t-you-try-it stare But he fixed my corsage with the gentlest care College move-in, dorm room tears He carried that box like he carried my fears Tried to act tough when he hugged me tight But I felt his heart break a little that night Pre-Chorus Every wrong turn, every hard goodbye He was prayin’ on the other side Chorus I’m still his little girl Even with mascara runnin’ down my face Even when I swore I needed space He’s the first man I ever loved The reason I know what real love was And no matter how grown-up this life unfurls I’ll always be His little girl Bridge (Emotional Lift) One day he’ll walk me down that aisle Try his best not to break down and cry Give my hand to another man But he’ll always be my biggest fan And when I hold my baby someday I’ll finally understand the way He looked at me like I hung the moon Like I was his whole world too Breakdown Chorus (Soft) I’m still his little girl Even when his hair turns silver-gray Even when his hands start to shake He’s the first man I ever loved And that’ll never be undone Yeah time may fly and seasons swirl But I’ll always be Final Chorus (Big, Anthemic) Still his little girl Through every tear and every pearl Through wedding veils and nursery walls Through every rise and every fall No matter how many candles I burn There’s one place I’ll always return To that driveway, that porchlight swirl Where I was just His little girl Outro (Soft) Boots by the door Old Spice in the air If you ever wonder what heaven’s like I’ve already been there.
