[Verse 1]
Well I remember when she couldn't wait to see me
She'd jump up in my arms, hold on tight
Tell me all about the things she learned that day
Saying "Dad what are [you?] doing tonight?"
I'd drive around to friends and hanging out
[College applications in life?]

[Chorus]
And I'd smile, and I'd [?]
And I'd cry, but not too loud

[Verse 2]
I always thought she'd be my little girl forever
I never really thought this time will come
And I'd love to see the woman that she's growing up to be
There's still so many things we haven't done
And I'm holding on to every little minute
I'm holding on for dear life

[Chorus]
And I'd smile, and I'd [?]
And I'd cry, but not too loud

[Verse 3]
I haven't always been the dad, that I thought I'd be
God knows that I'd go back if I could
Maybe she will learn from the mistakes I've made
Huh, wouldn't that be good
[Chorus]
And I'd smile, and I'd [?]
And I'd cry, but not too loud
