Bread & Butter, My Little Girl

[Verse 1]
Tiny shoes by the front door
Crayon suns on the fridge
You’re laughing at your own jokes
Making castles in the sink
You say my name like it’s magic
Like I hung the whole blue sky
I’m just watching in the doorway
Trying not to cry
[Chorus]
You’re my bread & butter
My heartbeat’s double time
My Hynes Emily
My reason
My rhyme
I’m a proud father
Just holding your hand in this world
You’ll always be
My little girl
[Verse 2]
Morning hair in a wild crown
Cartoons way too loud
You’re dancing in the pajamas
You say
“Daddy
Are you proud?”
I kneel down in the sunlight
Say
“More than words can tell”
If love could be a language
You’d speak it so well
[Chorus]
You’re my bread & butter
My heartbeat’s double time
My Hynes Emily
My reason
My rhyme
I’m a proud father
Just holding your hand in this world
You’ll always be
My little girl
[Bridge]
One day you’ll chase your own dreams
Pack up and follow that road
But I’ll keep every drawing
Every story
All the ways you’ve grown
Wherever you go
Remember
When everything feels too much
You fit right here
Beside my heart
In every breath
Every touch
[Chorus]
You’re my bread & butter
My heartbeat’s double time
My Hynes Emily
My reason
My rhyme
I’m a proud father
Just holding your hand in this world
You’ll always be
You’ll always be
My little girl

pop, Warm midtempo pop with male vocals, bright acoustic guitar and soft synth pads. Gentle verse groove builds into a wide, singalong chorus with layered “oh-oh” backgrounds and light percussion. Subtle bass and snaps in the pocket, final chorus adds higher harmonies and a glockenspiel sparkle for a proud, heart-melting finish.
