You were once just a twinkle in both of our eyes
A sweet dream that still hadn't come true
Then one day as if dropped from right out of the sky
The Lord made all our wishes come true
Then you grew and you grew and you wouldn't stand still
For a moment, and now you're all grown
It's your wedding day darling and where the time went
Mom and I could never have known
I just don't understand where all the time went
All the days, all the weeks, all the years
All those moments when both of us held you real close
All the laughter and all of the tears.
I just wish I could tell you it'll always be fine That your days will be happy and free
As you walk down that aisle to your new life ahead
My little girl is the one I still see
Some day you'll have a sweet little girl of your own
And you'll know just how lucky we've been
And you'll worry each time
That she walks through that door
Just how soon she'll be walking back in
Then she'll come home one day
And tell you that she's found
The one and only that she's waited for
And you'll realize that the woman in front of you now
Ain't a sweet little girl anymore
I just don't understand...
You were once just a twinkle in both of our eyes
A sweet dream that still hadn't come true
On this day we'll kiss our sweet little baby goodbye
And wish only the best things for you...
