Lyrics
Once in a lifetime,
I watched this little girl.
Learn to talk, learn to walk,
Change her daddy's world.
Seems like such a short time
Since I wiped away your tears.
Now I'm tryin just to hold on
As I think back thru the years.
No more trainin' wheels, can't say how it feels,
To give this little girl away.
Send you on your own, start a brand new home
And its startin' here today.
Yeah, once in a lifetime
You held your daddy's heart.
Just remember that'll never change,
No matter where I am, or where you are.
No more make believe, no more tales to weave,
It doesn't get more real than this.
So lets walk down that aisle, I'll give your hand and smile,
And think of all the smiles I'll miss.
For once in my lifetime
I trust someone to hold your heart.
And come what may you both can count on me,
No matter where I am, or where you are.
