[Verse 1]

Gotta hold on easy as I let you go

Gonna tell you how much I love you

Though you think you already know

I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm

You've had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born

[Chorus]

You're beautiful, baby, 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]

When you were in trouble, that crooked little smile could melt my heart of stone

Now look at you, I've turned around, and you've almost grown

Sometimes you're asleep I whisper, "I love you" in the moonlight at your door

As I walk away, I hear you say, "Daddy, love you more"

[Chorus]

You're beautiful, baby, 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

[Bridge]

Someday, some boy will come and ask me for your hand

But I won't say, "Yes" to him unless I know he's the half

That makes you whole, he has a poet's soul, and the heart of a man's man

I know he'll say that he's in love

But between you and me, he won't be good enough!

[Chorus]

You're beautiful, baby, 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
