Lyrics
This Dance © 2004 by Barbie McHugh PAu2-887-125
I knew this day would come
I thought I'd write this down
The day I have this dance with you
Would someday come around
You always make me proud
What a wonderful smile
You stand out in a crowd
And go the extra mile
(Chorus)
I hope you'll know a love
That you've never known before
Now you're all grown
And not a little boy anymore
I take this last dance with you
And give you away
Your dad and I are full of pride
Cause this day is about you and your bride
I'll take this moment to say
This all begins forever
This is the start of something new
Not old, borrowed or even blue
Dancing aside with the band
Best wishes come from your friends
Always be close to your bride
Live the night like it never ends
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
I see you're so happy
And wish you true love
That comes from the heart
And sent from above
(Chorus)
