It was mid October
Moon hanging in the midnight sky
We were driving over
I'll never forget that night
Up until the dawn
Then I held you in my arms
You may not always need me
Someday you'll be on your own but
My love for you is endless
You'll always be my little girl
It's a short time but a good life
Every moment I watch you grow
Right now I am so proud
To be the man that holds
Nancy Rose
You are my daughter
Part of you will always be
Half of your mother
Your other half is all of me
You may not always need me
Someday you'll be on your own but
My love for you is endless
You'll always be my little girl
It's a short time but a good life
Every moment I watch you grow
Right now I am so proud
To be the man that holds
Nancy Rose
One day you'll find a man
He'll ask me for you hand
And you and I
Will have one last dance
It was a short time but a good life
Every moment I watched you grow
Right now I am so proud
To be the man that holds
Nancy Rose
