Bon Jovi - Story of Love Lyrics

Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
They've been writing our story before there was one
From the day you arrive, till you walk, till you run
There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love

They can offer advice that you don't wanna hear
Words that cut like a knife and still ring in your ear
You think of them ignorant, they think of you arrogant
If you need evidence, who gave you confidence?

A snap of the finger and you're not a child
But you're still holding on as you walk down the aisle
When they give you away to hear someone else say
That someone will love you 'til their dying day

Li-di-diddy-di
Li-di-diddy-di

Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
They've been writing our story before there was one
From the day you arrive 'til you walk, 'til you run
There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love

And that's the story of love
You can choose to remember or choose to forget
If they took you to school or they tucked you in bed
You can say it don't matter, you won't do the same
You'd think no one noticed when you looked away

Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
They've been writing our story before there was one
From the day you arrive till you walk, till you run
There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love

Now they're getting older and you ain't so young
So you take care of them like your daughters and sons
You can ask for forgiveness, they could ask for the same
Forget all the anguish, the heartache, the pain

Wherever you go or wherever you've been
It's them that is with you and that's you that's with them
Fathers and daughters and mothers and sons
As one story ends, another's begun

Li-di-diddy-di
Li-di-diddy-di

Oh, fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
They've been writing our story before there was one
From the day you arrive 'til you walk, 'til you run
There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love
From hello to goodbye, that's the story of love, oh
That's the story of love, oh
