We'll find a veil and a white dress and then you can be The most beautiful bride that the world has known Walking arm and arm with me; my how you've grown The man at the end of the aisle needs to know That you were MINE FIRST and it'll be hard to let you go Fast forward to 18 years later; it's the day you've been dreading, the day of the wedding Where you'll walk her down the aisle to a life that's new with a husband who You know will give her all that she needs; but it doesn't make it easier, she's still you're little girl So you call her over to remind her of what you told her that Halloween day You're the most beautiful bride that the world has known Walking arm and arm with me; my how you've grown The man at the end of the aisle needs to know That you were MINE FIRST and it'll be hard to let you go Can I please have the father of the bride join his daughter up here on the dance floor You walk over; a tear in your eye wondering where in the world has the time gone by And as you walk, her groom steps in and he says, Thank you for all that you've done But before you have this dance with my wife there's something I need you to know She's the most beautiful bride that the world has known So, thank you for raising her and helping her grow I promise to be the man who always knows That she was yours first and it was hard to let her go
