[Verse 1]
She’s standing here in satin and sunlight
Laugh in her eyes
That same old spark
I still see crayons on the kitchen table
Her tiny shoes by the door in the dark
[Chorus]
So take my hand
First man she ever loved
I’ll spin her slow
You watched her grow
Now you let her go
We’ll sway to every bedtime story
Every scraped knee
Every “Daddy
Hold me”
One more time before the world calls her name
Tonight we dance
And nothing feels the same
[Verse 2]
You taught her how to chase down the sunrise
How to be kind and still be strong
Now every promise that I make her
Is built on all you’ve done all along
[Chorus]
So take my hand
First man she ever loved
I’ll spin her slow
You watched her grow
Now you let her go
We’ll sway to every bedtime story
Every scraped knee
Every “Daddy
Hold me”
One more time before the world calls her name
Tonight we dance
And nothing feels the same
[Bridge]
If you feel your heart break just a little
As her white dress brushes past your shoes
Know I’ll spend my whole life in the middle
Between the woman she is
And the girl you still lose
[Chorus]
So take my hand
First man she ever loved
We’ll hold her close
Then little by little we’ll loosen up
We’re turning years into quiet glory
Every soft “goodnight” into our shared story
I’ll keep her safe the way you always prayed
Tonight we dance
And in my arms
Your girl’s forever saved
