[Verse 1] Gotta hold on easy as I watch you be A mama now, at twenty-seven With your own little one on your knee I remember I thought you looked like an angel Wrapped in pink, so soft and warm Now you're the one wrapped 'round a finger Since the day she was born [Chorus] You beautiful woman, 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] Last night I saw you rock her in the dark That crooked little smile I knew so well Now it's hers, she has her mother's heart I whispered "I love you" to you both by the door And I heard you softly say "Mama loves you more" [Chorus] You beautiful woman, from the outside in Raise her gently, 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 she'll grow and find her own way too And you'll understand what I went through The day you ask, "Will he be good enough?" Now you're the one who has to trust [Chorus Variation] And you'll say to her what I once said to you ... But between you and me, she'll always be Your little girl [Outro] So go on, take on this whole world, you two And when you need to come back home I'll be here waiting for my little girl And her little girl, too
