[Verse 1]
You used to stand
On top of my shoes
Both hands up
"Spin me
Daddy
Spin"
Kitchen light low
Cartoons still on
Your hair a mess
But you swore you were grown
[Chorus]
Now we dance
On your wedding day
And I'm trying so hard to find words to say
You were my world
My fearless little girl
And I'm letting you go
As you dance with him
But tonight
For a moment
In front of the world
Let me dance with my little girl again
[Verse 2]
You practiced this dress
In a thrift store mirror
I laughed too loud
Just to hide my fear
I ironed your veil
With these clumsy hands
Been building you up
For someone else's plans
[Chorus]
Now we dance
On your wedding day
And I'm trying so hard to find words to say
You were my world
My fearless little girl
And I'm letting you go
As you dance with him
But tonight
For a moment
In front of the world
Let me dance with my little girl again
[Bridge]
Will he know
How you hate long goodbyes
How you read hidden meaning
In the roll of the skies
Will he sing
When the car won’t start
Hold your hand
When you fall apart (oh)
[Chorus]
Now we dance
On your wedding day
And I'm trying so hard to find words to say
You were my world
My fearless little girl
And I’m letting you go
As you dance with him
But tonight
Just this moment
In front of the world
Let me dance with my little girl again
[Outro]
So take her hand
And treat it like glass
Love her like
She's all you have
The song might end
The lights might swirl
But in my arms
You're always my little girl
