Still Her Little Girl

We didn't see you coming,

a surprise from up above

Two tiny pounds of miracle,

wrapped in all our love

Fought a quiet battle

just to keep you here with me

Now you're standing tall

for all the world to see (mmmmm)

Almost thirty years gone by,

married with a boy of your own

But you'll always be my little girl,

no matter how you've grown

I know it's been a heavy year

since your daddy had to go

But he's walking right beside you

down every road you know

I see him in the way you smile,

in the strength inside your stride

He's watching over his little girl with a quiet father's pride

Through the storms of this hard winter,

through the tears you had to cry We are holding you forever

beneath this open sky

Almost thirty years gone by,

married with a boy of your own

But you'll always be my little girl,

no matter how you've grown

I know it's been a heavy year

since your daddy had to go

But he's walking right beside you

down every road you know

My little girl, always

Yeah, he's right there by your side (ooh-ooh)
