Giving You Away
by Lanette Pennell and Richard Hailey
When you were a little girl
I held you up so high.
I watched you run and play
And dried your tears from your eyes.
I let you stand on my toes
While we danced and whirled
I laughed at you, you smiled at me
My precious little girl.
Now the day has come
They say I’m giving you away
But a man never loved his daughter more
Than I love you today.
There was sweet sorrow in my heart
As we walked down the aisle
Now I’m dancing with the woman who
Has my little girls smile
I knew someday I’d give you away
Oh the years went by too fast
My wish for you is years of joy
True love and happiness.
Now the day has come
They say I’m giving you away
But a man never loved his daughter more
Than I love you today.
No a man never loved his daughter more
Than I love you today.
