Lyrics
TAKE CARE OF HER ... SHE'S PRECIOUS
THE WORDS DON'T COME EASY...SON-IN-LAW... IT SEEMS SO COLD;
I'M GIVING YOU THE PART OF ME THAT WARMED MY VERY SOUL;
THAT LITTLE GIRL WITH GOLDEN CURLS IS SO IN LOVE WITH YOU;
BUT GOD KNOWS SHE LOVES HER DADDY TOO.
(CHORUS):
TAKE CARE OF HER ... SHE'S PRECIOUS;
THE APPLE OF MY EYE;
I'M WATCHIN' MY EMOTIONS... TRYIN' NOT TO CRY;
BUT MY TEARS STAIN HER MAKEUP AS I'M KISSIN' HER GOODBYE;
TAKE CARE OF HER... SHE'S PRECIOUS.... TO ME.
WALKING DOWN THE AISLE... SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE;
SHE GAVE ME ONE LAST SMILE, THEN SHE VOWED HER LOVE TO YOU;
THAT LITTLE GIRL WHO ONCE SAT ON MY LAP IS NOW YOUR WIFE;
I JUST GAVE AWAY THE BEST THING IN MY LIFE.
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
I KNEW IT HAD TO HAPPEN SOME SAD DAY;
I'D HAVE TO GIVE MY LITTLE GIRL AWAY;
BUT NOW THAT SHE'S LEAVIN' ME THERE'S NOTHING ELSE TO DO;
SO I'M PUTTING ALL MY CONFIDENCE IN YOU.
(CHORUS / TAG)
