Lyrics

Verse:
I guess I have to face it; you're on your own
Daddy's little girl has got to make her way alone
Wasn't it just yesterday, I bounced you on my knee
Now you're off to college - so beautiful and free

I know I'm "Dad"; yeah, that strong and solid guy
But when you drove away today, I have to say I cried
That's not a bad thing; they were tears of pride
I miss you so already; that's not something I can hide

Chorus:
You'll always be my bouncing baby girl
Smiling up at me with your bright eyes and your curls
Through ups and downs out in this big old world
I'll always be there for my bouncing baby girl

Verse:
Someday you'll find your place; a life with seeds you've sown
Another man will love you and together you'll make a home
Maybe you'll have children then you'll see how fast they grow
That'll make it all more special when you come back home

Chorus:
You'll always be my bouncing baby girl
Smiling up at me with your bright eyes and your curls
Through ups and downs out in this big old world
I'll always be there for my bouncing baby girl

Bridge:
Just follow your dreams; you mean everything to me

Chorus:
You'll always be my bouncing baby girl
Smiling up at me with your bright eyes and your curls
Through ups and downs out in this big old world
I'll always be there for my bouncing baby girl
My bouncing baby girl
