Lyrics

For You, My Girl Yves tilmant © 2025
Country-Pop Ballad / 3:40 runtime / Emotional & Uplifting
[Verse 1]
I held you close on the day you arrived
Tiny fingers wrapped around my life
From lullabies to your first run
You changed me more than anyone
[Pre-Chorus]
I may not leave you silver and gold
But I'll leave you things that don't grow old
[Chorus]
For you, my girl, I'm building a sky
Where dreams take flight and tears can dry
I'll leave a name that stands for grace
A light that time won't ever erase
I may not be here your whole world through
But my heart will always walk with you
That's the legacy I leave--
For you, my girl
[Verse 2]
There'll be days when the world feels mean
When you question what love and courage mean
So I'm writing down the best I've learned
To pass the flame that I once earned
[Pre-Chorus]
Kindness is strength, don't be fooled by the noise
You're powerful simply by using your voice
[Chorus]
For you, my girl, I'm planting the seeds
Of truth and hope and quiet deeds
I'll leave a name that stands for grace
A light that time won't ever erase
I may not be here your whole world through
But my heart will always walk with you
That's the legacy I leave--
For you, my girl
[Bridge]
When you're lost, just close your eyes
You'll hear my love in lullabies
In every choice, in every stand
Know you're walking with my hand
[Final Chorus]
For you, my girl, I give all I can
Not castles or crowns, but a steady hand
I'll leave a name that stands for grace
A light that time won't ever erase
I may not be here your whole world through
But my soul will always shine in you
That's the legacy I leave--
For you, my girl
[Outro]
Yeah, everything I've been or ever will be--
I leave for you, my girl.
