Ten little toes
She has his nose
And the blue from her mother's eyes
His hands were shaking
Round that pink blanket
He hoped he was holding her right
In that moment, he realized

Dads and daughters, they go together
Like boats and water, they're meant for each other
Through wind and the waves, they'll sail away from the storm
And make it to shore
There's nothing stronger than a love between dads and daughters

Before he could blink
She was sixteen
Stealing the keys to his car
He'd wait at home
Let her go on her own
Knew she wouldn't run too far

Dads and daughters, they go together
Like boats and water, they're meant for each other
Through wind and the waves, they'll sail away from the storm
And make it to shore
There's nothing stronger than a love between dads and daughters

He'll try not to cry
When he sees her in white
Gives her to another man
I hope he understands

Dads and daughters, they go together
Like boats and water, they're meant for each other
Through wind and the waves, they'll sail away from the storm
And make it to shore
There's nothing stronger than a love between dads and daughters
