Lyrics
First Verse
With tears in my eyes I watched her come into this world
Now your trying to take my place with my baby girl
And you may be the one tucking her in at night
But im the one she calls for when You turn out the light
Chorus
And when she cries in the middle of the night
Will you hold her hand and let her know
everything is gonna be alright
And does it cause your soul to bleed when she cries
Second verse
I was the one she ran too when she fell and skinned her knee
( She ran to me )
Id kiss her pain away and her eyes would say I love you daddy
You cant love her like I always will
And the touch of her hand It dont make your heart stand still
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Your living in the house that I built and you took my wife
Now all im asking you is please dont take my wife
Cause shes my world
Thats my baby girl
Third verse
I always knew that another man would come take her away
But I kinda imagined that wouldnt be until her wedding day
I didnt think it would be so soon
Not while she's taking naps in the afternoon
Chorus
And when she cries in the middle of the night
Will you hold her hand and let her know everything
is gonna be alright
Cause it can cause my soul to bleed When she cries
