Story Behind The Song

I was thinking about my stepdaughter one day, and started playing my guitar and writing down the words.

Song Description

It's a song about missing your little girl

Lyrics

I remember you when you were small
Brown eyes cried when you would fall
I'd pick you up and wipe away your tears

First day of school I walked you there
You held my hand 'cause you were scared
I gave you a hug and told you then
I'd always be right here

CHORUS:
And though time has passed
And we're apart
My love for you will never change
No matter where you go in this world
You will always be
My little girl

The first time that you fell in love
I told you you were far too young
But you just knew
That he would be the one

And then the day you turned 18
No more a child and full of dreams
That's the day I realized
That you'd be leavin' me

(Chorus)

Now you've moved and gone away
I think about you every day
I pray the Lord will keep you in his grace

And though there's someone by your side
To dry the tears that you have cried
I'd just like to say again
I'll always be right here

(Chorus)
