(Intro)
I didn’t choose how your story began
But I chose to be your dad
And if I could live my life all over again
I’d choose you
I’d choose you every time.
(Verse)
She may not have my features, but I see her through my eyes
And every little piece of her has made me realize
There were years before I knew her, moments I can’t get back
But the first day that she found me, I knew I’d found my path
(Chorus)
She ain't my blood, ain't got my name
if she did, I'd feel the same
I wasn't there for her first steps
But I ain't missed a one since then
that ain't ever gonna change
I could never stir away
she's my baby, my whole world
She’s my girl
(Verse)
I still remember that little voice the first time she said “Dad”
A simple word that somehow changed the life I thought I had
She drew a picture of our family, three hearts side by side
I put it on the refrigerator and kept that memory alive
(Chorus)
She ain't my blood, ain't got my name
if she did, I'd feel the same
I wasn't there for her first steps
But I ain't missed a one since then
that ain't ever gonna change
I could never stir away
she's my baby, my whole world
she's my girl
(Bridge)
If your pappy was here today
Like to think he would say
How proud of you he was this day
That everything is gonna be okay
I know I can’t fill his shoes
But this is the best I can do
I love you more then you could know
Was so glad to watch you grow…
(Outro)
I know there’s someone watching who would give anything to be here
To see the woman standing there and wipe away a tear
I could never take his place, and I would never try
I just hope he knows I’ll love her for the rest of my life
