Lyrics

It?s up to you what?s best to do
Those were my father?s words
I said I knew that but I?d like his advice
Dad laughed and said all right

And then the look changed in his eyes
I thought I saw the trace of something tender
Welling up that he tried to disguise

When he said to me you?ll always be my baby
But you?re all grown up now
And you have a guy who adores you wants you for a wife
I am happy for you to say I do

It?s just dad and me we?re thick as thieves
Mom?s been gone a long time
I told him months ago I met a special guy
He smiled and said ?bout time

And now the look?s changed in his eyes
I think I see the trace of something tender
Welling up that he tries to disguise

When he says to me you?ll always be my baby
But you?re all grown up now
And you have a guy who adores you wants you for a wife
I am happy for you to say I do

Dad said don?t worry ?bout me I?ll be just fine
I?ve got my work and friends to fill my time
We?ll all get together once in a while
I don?t plan to be a bother till I am grandfather

And he says to me you?ll always be my baby
But you?re all grown up now
And you have a guy who adores you wants you for a wife
I am happy for you to say I do

I am happy for you
I am happy for you
I am happy for you
I am happy for you
