I'm giving you away 
But I'm not letting go 
The memories, they flood my mind 
Of the little girl I know 
Once upon a time 
You held my hand so tight 
You'd close your eyes and say a prayer
Then I'd kiss your head goodnight 

As we dance I keep our love deep within my heart 
And thank God for giving me this angel in my arms... 
You're my little angel 
So baby don't you cry 
It's time to spread your wings and fly 
If there's one thing this father knows 
The hardest part is letting go 
But you will still always be... 
Your Daddy's little angel 

It seems like yesterday  [bad word] and gone so fast 
Now my baby's all grown up
But the memories will last 
It's hard to say goodbye 
When you've always been so near 
But for now I'll hold you tight 
Like those times that I hold dear 

As we dance I keep our love deep within my 
You're my little angel 
So baby don't you cry 
It's time to spread your wings and fly 
If there's one thing this father knows 
The hardest part is letting go 
But you will still always be... 
Your Daddy's little angel 

When you were young, 
I used to laugh 
At the funny things you'd say 
Right now I just can't help but smile 
On this blessed day....

You're my little angel 
So baby don't you cry 
It's time to spread your wings and fly 
If there's one thing this father knows 
The hardest part is letting go 
But you will still always be... 
Your Daddy's little angel
