I wrote this song for my daughter as a high school graduation gift... I still can't sing it with her in the same room without coming to tears...
lyrics
We have known this day will come for some time now
There's a long long road in front and behind us now
When you were only 3 years old you promised me you loved me more
You asked me if I would read a book and maybe sing one more
You got my eyes
You got my smile
You got my soul
And although we'll be apart
Over the years I tried to give you what you need
I had to push and push at times to get you to take heed
I know you always have been one who bites off more than you can chew
I just want to tell you baby, that's what makes the perfect you
You got my eyes
You got my smile
You got my soul
And although we'll be apart
You will always have heart
Little Girl
Today's the day you face this world as a grown up little girl
Don't forget no matter what It you and me against the world
