[Verse 1] Baby I remember Looking in your eyes Half open I was a Little shaking Tiny cries You just wanted arms You just wanted arms around you Baby I’m gonna tell you Gonna say it clear You can roll your eyes You can laugh at me My dear You’re twenty‑one Out running the world But you’ll always be my baby girl [Chorus] You’ll always be my baby girl Even when you’re driving off Keys to the world Hair in the wind You’ll always be my baby girl From that first little breath To your own big world You’ll always be Always be My baby girl [Verse 2] I remember that first tooth How you couldn’t sleep When it was Coming in Then Coming out You were mad at me But we got it, didn’t we And you sold it to the tooth ferry I still have it in a box I remember birthday candles Cake on your face Paper crowns crooked Ribbons all over the place Every wish you made Felt like it was mine to keep safe [Chorus] You’ll always be my baby girl Even when you say you’re fine And you don’t need help from the world You’ll always be my baby girl From that first little step To you dancing in pearls You’ll always be Always be My baby girl [Extended musical interlude featuring a warm harmonica solo] [Bridge] From the moment that I met you When they placed you in my hands I swore I’d do my best Even when I didn’t understand You were the most precious thing That ever happened to me And I’d live a thousand lives Just to watch you live your dream (oh) [Chorus] You’ll always be my baby girl Even when your name has changed On some paper in this world You’ll always be my baby girl From that hospital room To wherever you turn You’ll always be Always be My baby girl You’ll always be Always be My baby girl
