Verse 1
Three, two, one, we were countin’ down,
I thought you were a boy from the day we found out,
Had your name picked somewhere in my mind,
Had a whole little life I’d already designed.
I could almost hear your laugh in the hall,
See you ridin’ shotgun, throwin’ me a ball,
No room painted blue, no boots by the door,
Just a dream in my head I was already livin’ for.
Then that balloon popped, and time stood still,
Pink confetti fallin’ like the good Lord’s will,
I smiled through the shock, tried to catch my breath,
’Cause the story I wrote had just turned left.
Pre-Chorus
My heart ran wild, my mind went blank,
I looked at your mama, didn’t know what to think,
But sometimes heaven knows better than plans,
And puts a brand-new kind of love in your hands.
Chorus
You went from sunrise to sunset,
Blue-sky dreams to a pink-cloud blessing,
From a little man I thought would rule my world,
To my whole heart wrapped up in a Daddy’s girl.
Now one little hug and one little wink,
Bends every rule I swore I’d keep,
I thought I knew love, but I didn’t know a thing,
’Til it hit different from a girl in pink.
Verse 2
Now I look back and wonder where it’s gone,
Four years flew by, and you’re a pretty little blonde,
Bare feet runnin’ through the kitchen light,
Mama says no, but you know I might.
You got my stubborn and your mama’s grin,
Put both hands on my cheeks and win again,
You ask for ice cream before supper time,
And I lose that battle every time.
You climb in my lap like you own that chair,
Put princess crowns in my old ball-cap hair,
I used to think tough meant never bendin’,
Now it’s tea cups, tutus, and pretendin’.
Chorus
You went from sunrise to sunset,
Blue-sky dreams to a pink-cloud blessing,
From a little man I thought would rule my world,
To my whole heart wrapped up in a Daddy’s girl.
Now one little hug and one little wink,
Bends every rule I swore I’d keep,
I thought I knew love, but I didn’t know a thing,
’Til it hit different from a girl in pink.
Bridge
I had a picture in my head, but God had more,
A tiny little hand knockin’ on my heart’s door,
I thought I knew the road I was gonna walk,
But you changed my mind before you even talked.
And when you say “Daddy” with those big bright eyes,
There ain’t no tougher man alive,
I didn’t get the boy I pictured back then,
I didn’t get the boy I pictured back then,
I got the girl who made me better than I’d ever been.
Final Chorus
You went from sunrise to sunset,
Blue-sky dreams to a pink-cloud blessing,
From a little man I thought would rule my world,
To my whole heart wrapped up in a Daddy’s girl.
Now one little hug and one little wink,
Still bends every rule I swore I’d keep,
I thought I knew love, but I didn’t know a thing,
No, I didn’t know love could hit that deep,
’Til it hit different from a girl in pink.
Outro
Three, two, one, my whole world changed,
Pink confetti, and your daddy’s last name,
