Daddy Who Was Ready To Love You lyrics

Her eyes bleed brown
Just like mine do
But I can already tell
She's gonna grow up to look like you
And I can't hang on
Because then I won't let go
But if you ever tell her
Anything about me
Please let her know

She's the star I wasn't ready to see
So I gave him the telescope
She's the baby I wasn't ready to raise
So I gave her to him with hope
And my message
To my baby girl
It was the best thing I could do
I gave you a Daddy who was ready to love you

I wonder what you'll look like
At your high school prom
I wonder what music you'll listen to
I wonder if you'll wonder who you got your eyes from
I wonder if you'll be mad
At me
For what I had to do
And my message to you
My baby girl
It was the best thing I could do
I gave you a Daddy who was ready to love you

I hope you raise her right
And fill her life with your smile
Tell her she looks beautiful
As you walk her down the aisle
And when you give her away to him
You'll know what I went through
But this is not a regret
Because I know you'll do a better job
Than I could ever do

Because she's the star I wasn't ready to see
So I gave you the telescope
She's the baby I wasn't ready to raise
So I gave her to you with hope
And my message to your baby girl
It was the best thing I could do
I gave you a Daddy who was ready to do what he had to do

A Daddy who was ready to love you lyrics
