    E                           A
The nurse helped us buckle your seat in the car
         E                     F#            B
And they sent us on our way, I drove home so slow
   E                        A 
We had no instructions, the first days were hard
            E                     B          E 
But there's things about babies a woman just knows

Three in the morning, I lay my hand over your heart
Just to know you were safe in your sleep
When you started walking, I fight back the urge to stay 
Right there beside you and keep you on your feet


Chorus:
A                      E
Being your daddy comes natural
    A                      E
The roses just know how to grow
     A                       E                A 
It's easy to see that you'll get where you're going
    E            B           C#m             
The hard part is letting you go
    E            B           E
The hard part is letting you go

It didn't take long to see you got the best of me
And your momma's merciful heart in your eyes
And helping her raise you has taught me to see through 
The great fog of loneliness, the devil's disguise

Chorus

And now you've decided to be someone's wife
And we'll walk down the aisle and I'll give you away
I wish I could walk with him back through your life to see
Every last minute of every last day

To hear your first words and to feel your first heartbreak
To sing you to sleep when you're scared of the dark
The best I can do is to let myself trust that you 
Know who'll be strong enough to carry your heart

Chorus
