[Verse 1]
I met her when she was just a little thing,
Big blue eyes, like the sky in spring.
Her momma’s looks, her sweet little grin,
She let me love her, let me walk right in.
[Verse 2]
Her real dad left her, just a shadow and a name,
But I swore to her I’d never play that game.
I held her hand when the storms rolled through,
Taught her love is more than what you're born into.
[Chorus]
'Cause better than blood is the bond we made,
In her little heart, I found my place.
She’s my world, my reason, my fight,
Those blue eyes shining in the soft moonlight.
[Verse 3]
We’d sit on the porch, just her and me,
Talking 'bout dreams and what she wants to be.
She’s got her momma’s fire, her momma’s grace,
And every time I see her, I thank God for this place.
[Bridge]
I may not have given her her name,
But I gave her my heart just the same.
And when she looks at me, I see it clear,
Love’s not in the blood, it’s in being here.
[Verse 4]
When she falls, I’m there to pick her up,
Through all her fears, I’m her steady rock.
She’s my little girl, my greatest pride,
Her momma’s joy and my softest side.
