Forever My Little Girl

[Verse 1]
Weren't you just takin' your first steps?
Then you're steppin' out in that prom dress
I stared that boy down like he was robbin' me
So just like your first school bus
I trailed behind his bucket of rust
Thinkin' "I swear to God, that boy better not speed"

[Chorus]
I don't know why I worry
You're tough just like me
But pretty like your mama
Man‚ that karma's a hell of a thing
A strong‚ young woman
But you're my whole world
No longer my baby
But forever my little girl

[Verse 2]
Well‚ I survived that first date
Then those college years, all those miles away
You'd think by now, I'd be used to lettin' you go
But here we wait in this church hallway
And I think how am I gonna give you away?
So I say just like those first steps‚ let's take it slow

[Chorus]
I don't know why I worry
You're tough just like me
But pretty as your mama
On the day I gave her that ring
A strong, young woman
You'll be his world
No longer my baby
But forever my little girl
No longer my baby
But forever my little girl
