[Verse 1]
Tiny shoes by the door
Big dreams in a little roar
She takes the room by storm
Then curls up safe and warm
I watch her fearless face
The whole world in her trace
She storms like a lion
Then holds my hand in silence
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know what she means
When she looks up at me
All that fire in her chest
Still trusts me with the rest
[Chorus]
Heart of gold, heart of gold
Little lion, brave and bold
Heart of gold, heart of gold
Daddy's here, and I won't fold
I stand by your side
All through the night
Heart of gold, heart of gold
You're my girl, and I know
[Verse 2]
Scraped knees and a grin
She gets right back up again
Her laugh fills the hall
Makes the hard days small
When the storm gets loud
She can still stand proud
And if the world turns cold
I'll be the arms she can hold
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know what she means
When she reaches for me
All that fire in her chest
Still trusts me with the rest
[Chorus]
Heart of gold, heart of gold
Little lion, brave and bold
Heart of gold, heart of gold
Daddy's here, and I won't fold
I stand by your side
All through the night
Heart of gold, heart of gold
You're my girl, and I know
[Bridge]
One day she'll run so far
Past the porch, past the yard
But she won't lose my hand
In the shape it left in her plans
If she shakes, if she falls
I'll be there through it all
My fierce little light
I will guard you with my life
[Chorus]
Heart of gold, heart of gold
Little lion, brave and bold
Heart of gold, heart of gold
Daddy's here, and I won't fold
I stand by your side
All through the night
Heart of gold, heart of gold
You're my girl, and I know
