She's on her way

He said, "Is this your first?"
And I said "Yes, sir."
I smiled and I said, "We just had a girl."
He said, "Oh boy. Just like me,
you're a fortunate one."
He said, "Girl's, they're different
and I ought to know.
I've got three myself
and they're all grown.
You're in for the ride of your life.
Just enjoy it, son."

There's gonna be first words.
There's gonna be first dates.
You'll think she's perfect,
but she'll make mistakes.
So be there to listen
and be there to talk.
Learn to let go
when it's her time to walk.

And she's on her way.
She's on her own.
Just yesterday
You were bringing her home.
You'll watch her fall down
You'll watch her grow up
She'll meet somebody
And she'll fall in love
Hear what I say
They'll come a day
When she's on her way.

Holding her hand
You'll feel like a king
It's hard to say no
To your little queen
The sweetest words
You'll ever hear
Are "I love you, Dad."

Sometime's you're gonna wonder
If you're getting it right
But as long as you love her
She'll be just fine.
Smiles turn to tears
And back to smiles
At the drop of a hat.

Her knees'll get skinned.
Her heart'll get broke
The years will go fast
Some nights will go slow.
Boy, honor her mother
Whatever you do
'Cause the worth of a man
She'll take that from you.

When she's on her way
And she's on her way.
She's on her own.
Just yesterday
You were bringing her home.
You'll watch her fall down
You'll watch her grow up
She'll meet somebody
And she'll fall in love
Hear what I say
They'll come a day
When she's on her way.

Off to school
Down the drive
Ponytail waves goodbye
She's the light and the love of your life
Then there's cars
There's boys
All made-up
No more toys
One day she's somebody's wife

She's on her way.
She's on her road.
Just yesterday
You were bringing her home.
You'll watch her fall down
You'll watch her grow up
She'll meet somebody
And she'll fall in love
Hear what I say
They'll come a day
When she's on her way.
