Spud21 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 Spud5 You 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 old world but to me you know you will always be My little girl Spud17 When you were in trouble that crooked little smile would melt my heart of stone Now look at you I’ve turned around and you’ve almost grown Sometimes your asleep I whisper I love you in the moonlight at your door As I walk away I hear you say “daddy love you more” Spud12 Spud9 Spud14 Spud1 You 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 old world but to me you know you will always be My little girl Spud2 Spud15 Spud16 Spud8 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 poets soul And the heart of a mans man I know he’ll say that he’s in love, but between you and me He won’t be good enough Spud4 You 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 old world but to me you know you will always be My little girl – Tim McGraw, My Little Girl
