dads and daughters

 Yesterday was the 4th annual Daddy-Daughter Dance. The girls have been counting down the days, and I have been eagerly waiting to unveil their dresses and fix their hair up just how they want it. I love seeing them light up as they spin for Daddy to show him how their dress twirls. He is the most wonderful man and makes them feel like the world. 

Thinking about the song “Dads and Daughters” by MaRynn Taylor.

Ten little toes

She has his nose

And the blue from her mother's eyes
His hands were shaking
'Round that pink blanket
He hoped he was holding her right
In that moment, he realized
Dads and daughters
They go together
Like boats and water
They're meant for each other
Through wind and the waves
They'll sail away from the storm
And make it to shore
There's nothing stronger
Than a love between dads and daughters

Before he could blink
She was 16
Stealing the keys to his car
He'd wait at home
Let her go on her own
Knew she wouldn't run too far
Dads and daughters
They go together
Like boats and water
They're meant for each other
Through wind and the waves
They'll sail away from the storm
And make it to shore
There's nothing stronger
Than a love between dads and daughtersm

He'll try not to cry
When he sees her in white
Gives her to another man
I hope he understands
Dads and daughters
They go together
Like boats and water
They're meant for each other
Through wind and the waves
They'll sail away from the storm
And make it to shore
There's nothing stronger
Than a love between dads and daughters
