Wedding Song 5

I remember little footsteps down the hall

and morning cartoons and dress-up dolls

You’d laugh and I’d just stop time

Oh, you were the brightest light of mine

Remember that time I fell asleep on the couch and mom found you. Not my proudest moment, but a story true.

You made friends like flowers find the sun

Always giving love to everyone

While I chased the wind miles away

You held the world with grace each day

No, I wasn’t always near

But know I see you, crystal clear

You shine like you do, girl, you light up the dark

Got the soul of an angel, and a wildfire heart.

If I could go back, I’d hold you more tight

But I’m here in this moment, and your future’s so bright

No, I didn’t do it all ways right, that’s true—

But I’ve always loved you…

And I’m so proud of you

Shine like you do

You taught me more than I ever taught you

Like how strength can wear a soft shoe

I missed some tears, I missed too many things,

But you grew wings anyway

As a little girl, You called me “Daddy” with stars in your eyes

Now I watch you become someone’s bride

The same brave light, just in a different dress

And I swear I’ve never felt love like this

No, I wasn’t always perfect

But this love, it’s always been there

You shine like you do, girl, you light up the dark

Got the soul of an angel, and a wildfire heart

If I could go back, I’d hold you more tight

But I’m here in this moment, and your future’s so bright

No, I didn’t do it all right, that’s true—

But I’ve always loved you…

And I’m so proud of you

Shine like you do

This wedding day for you and your husband

A father’s dream come true!

You’re a beacon, a friend, a dream come true

A light in the lives of everyone you knew

And though my hands let go tonight

You’ll always be my little light

Yeah, shine like you do, girl, just never forget

You’re a fire I’d follow with no regret

If time gave me one more lullaby

I’d sing to you with teary eyes

I wasn’t perfect, but one thing’s true—

I will always love you…

Forever proud of you.
