[Verse 1]
Gotta hold on easy as I let you go
Gonna tell you how much I love you
Though you think you already know
I remember I thought you looked like an angel
Wrapped in pink, so soft and warm
You've had me wrapped around your finger
Since the day you were born
[Chorus]
You're beautiful, baby, from the outside in
Chase your dreams
But always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on, take on this whole world
But to me, you know you'll always be
My little girl
[Verse 2]
When you were in trouble, that crooked little smile
Could melt my heart of stone
Now look at you, I've turned around
And you've almost grown
Sometimes, you're asleep, I whisper "I love you"
In the moonlight at your door
As I walk away, I hear you say
"Daddy, love you more"
[Chorus]
You're beautiful, baby, from the outside in
Chase your dreams
But always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on, take on this whole world
But to me, you know you'll always be
My little girl
[Bridge]
Someday, some boy'll come and ask me for your hand
But I won't say "yes" to him unless I know
He's the half that makes you whole
He has a poet's soul
And the heart of a man's man
I know he'll say that he's in love
But between you and me
He won't be good enough
[Chorus]
You're beautiful, baby, from the outside in
Chase your dreams
But always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on, take on this whole world
But to me, you know you'll always be
My little girl
