Verse 1
Two pink lines on a little white stick,
I still remember that moment like yesterday.
Nine months later, pink bows and lace,
And my whole world changed in every way.
Teaching her every trick,
Helping her to grow with grace,
First breath, first laugh, first step,
And time just started runnin’ away.
Pre-Chorus
Games of peek-a-boo,
Little hands wrapped tight in mine,
Every moment I kept,
Like I was holdin’ onto time…
Only love between us two,
A love that don’t let go.
Chorus
She is my baby girl,
Forever and always.
She may love you true,
But a mother’s love never strays.
Remember as I give her hand to you,
You may have her future…
But I had her first…
And I’ll love her last.
There is no love truer
Than the love of her mother—
I held her first… and I’ll love her last.
⸻
Verse 2
Halls filled with laughter and joy,
Watchin’ her giggle over a brand-new toy.
Then life turned to tears over a boy,
And I held her while her heart broke down.
First makeup, first crush,
First love, first breakup,
She swore she’d never make it,
But I watched her rise up off the ground.
Pre-Chorus
She never knew the tears I cried with her,
But I cried them all the same…
‘Cause I knew she had to go through it,
To grow into her name.
Chorus
She is my baby girl,
Forever and always.
She may love you true,
But a mother’s love never strays.
Remember as I give her hand to you,
You may have her future…
But I had her first…
And I’ll love her last.
There is no love truer
Than the love of her mother—
I held her first… and I’ll love her last.
⸻
Bridge (slow, emotional)
Lockers and ball games,
Prom and friends for nights of glam.
A walk with a cap and the call of her name…
And I swear I blinked and it all outran.
Then she met you, and I saw it in her eyes,
Like a firework breakin’ through the dark.
Recognizing with a slam—
You were the one who found her heart.
And you’re an amazing guy,
You’re the one to change her world…
So take care of my baby girl…
⸻
Final Chorus (big and tearful)
She is my baby girl,
Forever and always.
She may love you true,
But a mother’s love never strays.
Remember as I give her hand to you,
You may have her future…
But I had her first…
And I’ll love her last.
I knew her laugh before her heart got hurt,
I’ve been her shelter through every storm that passed…
And if you ever wonder who’ll be there forever,
Even when the years move fast…
There is no love truer
Than the love of her mother—
I held her first… and I’ll love her last.
⸻
Outro (soft, spoken-sung)
Two pink lines on a little white stick…
And now she’s standin’ here in lace…
My baby girl…
And I’ll love her last.
