Lyrics

On the day you were born<br />
I was blessed to be a father again<br />
They said hold your daughter<br />
And I haven't caught my breath since<br />
Your so innocent, don't ever grow up<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
Your tough my cheek&nbsp;<br />
Open my eyes<br />
Kick up your toes<br />
Show me your mother's smile<br />
Know that you're beautiful just as you are<br />
Don't change for anyone<br />
Stand up for your heart<br />
Thought I'd seen beauty<br />
You are the beautiful truth<br />
<br />
Tiny hands hold my fingers<br />
That alone makes my day<br />
I kiss your tiny toes<br />
You laugh and the world falls away<br />
Oh the feeling of you asleep on my shoulder<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
<br />
You'll be hurt before you are loved<br />
You'll lose your innocence some day<br />
But oh, love will come<br />
And my little girl will leave that day<br />
If I get to give you away<br />
Don't wave it's not goodbye<br />
<br />
Just touch my cheek (chorus)<br />
<br />
Thought I'd seen beauty<br />
You are the beautiful truth<br />
