Every little girl has to grow up...

This is so hard for me to write because I didn't want it to happen
My baby girl has grown up, this just crept up without any planning 
I'm scared of the unknown, I'm just a father and still learning 
It's so hard letting go, for her I just don't want to be a burden 

From walking her to school to seeing her put make-up on
From teary eyes and waving her goodbye at the prom 
From all she's went through it's made her so strong 
From having faith in the innocence that's come and gone

Who do I turn to when she has new dreams?
I'm so proud that my baby girl is standing on her own two feet 
Who do I speak to when she walks her own streets?
I'm so proud of my baby girl I can hardly breathe 

In life we are here today but can be gone tomorrow
I'm going to live to witness her joy and not my sorrow 
Nothing is promised so fill every moment, don't be hollow 
If every little girl has to grow up, to mine, here's to tomorrow 
If every little girl has to grow up, to mine, here's to tomorrow...
