(A wedding song to be sung by father to daughter)
Pretty Lady
Can I have this dance with you
My pretty baby
Still I can?t believe its really true
Today?s the day you?re leavin? me
But I gain a son they say
Some how that doesn?t relieve me
But hey!, you will always be my little girl
So forgive me please
That I hold you oh so tight
I?m strangely weak in my knees
And should you see me cryin? tonight
Its simply that my final act is just about to end
As the first act of your love begins
My Pretty Pretty Lady
My little girl
Your still that sweet sweet sweet child
On your Daddy?s knee
With news of mud pies and butterflies
And miracles you?d seen
And now you?re that butterfly
Flyin off to see
How wonderful and sweet
Loves miracles can be
So fly my, sweet butterfly
My Pretty Lady
You?re my miracle you see
And after this last dance
Go and love him (for eternity)
As your mother loved me
Honor him and treasure him
Make all your dreams come true
As my dream was to have
Such a one as you
To have such a Pretty Lady
As My little girl ?
