Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You were small enough
To fit on my forearm
Sleeping on my chest
Breathing in my heartbeat
Tiny fingers curled
Around my clumsy thumb
I said “I’ve got you”
And you believed
Now here you are
In a white dress
Shining
Laughing through your tears
Trying not to tremble
I straighten your veil
Like I fixed your backpack
Same shaking hands
Just a different doorway
[Chorus]
You’re the first hand I ever held
That made me afraid to let go
Every step you ever took
I was learning to move slow
Now I’m giving you away
But I’m not losing what we are
You’re still my little girl
And the first man you ever loved
Still keeps you in his heart
[Verse 2]
Remember training wheels
On that pink old bicycle
You fell
Scraped your knee
Said
“Daddy
That one hurt”
I cleaned up the blood
You watched my worried eyes
Then you grinned and you said
“Let’s try again”
I see that same brave
Right here in this moment
When you lean into him
Like you used to lean on me
Different kind of fall
Same leap into the unknown
I whisper
“You’re ready”
You whisper
“I know”
[Chorus]
You’re the first hand I ever held
That made me afraid to let go
Every step you ever took
I was learning to move slow
Now I’m giving you away
But I’m not losing what we are
You’re still my little girl
And the first man you ever loved
Still keeps you in his heart
[Bridge]
If he ever wonders
How to hold your hurting
Tell him you were loved
Long before this night
Tell him when you’re laughing
So hard that you’re crying
That I’m right there
In the corners of your smile (oh)
[Chorus]
You’re the first hand I ever held
That made me afraid to let go
Every step you ever took
Led you right here
I know
So I’m giving you away
To a love that feels like home
You’re still my little girl
And the first man you ever loved
Is dancing
Letting go
But you’re never
You’re never dancing alone
