Verse1
simone is tall, red haired and beautiful,
with a silent strength she carries on her own.
she reads her books, so full of wisdom.
every dream in her is built on precious truth.

PreChorus
and still, you can?t hold time still.
and still, you can?t hold her still.

CHORUS (part a)
she?s more than seventeen.
she?s more than you could dare to dream.
yeah daddy?s little girl has grown up
faster than he ever could have thought.

Verse2
she met a man, wild and glorious,
with a deep resolve for loving only one.
he asked for her hand to marry.
but her father wouldn?t listen to a word.

PreChorus
and still, you can?t hold time still.
and still, you can?t hold her still.

CHORUS (part a)
she?s more than seventeen.
she?s more than you could dare to dream.
yeah daddy?s little girl has grown up
faster than he ever could have thought.

CHORUS (part b1)
she?s almost twenty three.
she?s deeper than you?d ever see.
yeah, daddy?s little girl has grown up.
faster than he ever could have thought.

Verse3
but daddy sees her oh so little
she was only seven just the other day
she played with toys ? she rode a tricycle
does he see the woman standing here today?

PreChorus
and still, you can?t hold time still.
and still, you can?t hold her still.

CHORUS (part a)
she?s more than seventeen.
she?s more than you could dare to dream.
yeah daddy?s little girl has grown up.
faster than he ever could have thought.

CHORUS (part b2)
she?s almost twenty three.
she?s solid as you?ll ever be.
yeah, daddy?s little girl has grown up.
faster than he ever could have thought.

yeah, daddy?s little girl has grown up.
faster than he ever could have thought.

yeah, daddy?s little girl has grown up.
faster than he ever could have thought.
