[ Featuring Evan Schroeder ]
Little girl, 6 years old, she asks her dad Can I be a bride for Halloween
Dad says, You can be anything you want to be; a princess, a fairy, a monster that's scary
She said, No, daddy, I just want to be a bride who can walk down the aisle looking pretty
So he says, Yes, honey, won't you come with me? We'll find a veil and a white dress and then you can be
The most beautiful bride that the world has known
Walking arm and arm with me; my how you've grown
The man at the end of the aisle needs to know
That you were MINE FIRST and it'll be hard to let you go
Fast forward to 18 years later; it's the day you've been dreading, the day of the wedding
Where you'll walk her down the aisle to a life that's new with a husband who
You know will give her all that she needs; but it doesn't make it easier, she's still you're little girl
So you call her over to remind her of what you told her that Halloween day
You're the most beautiful bride that the world has known
Walking arm and arm with me; my how you've grown
The man at the end of the aisle needs to know
That you were MINE FIRST and it'll be hard to let you go
Can I please have the father of the bride join his daughter up here on the dance floor
You walk over; a tear in your eye wondering where in the world has the time gone by
And as you walk, her groom steps in and he says, Thank you for all that you've done
But before you have this dance with my wife there's something I need you to know
She's the most beautiful bride that the world has known
So, thank you for raising her and helping her grow
I promise to be the man who always knows
That she was yours first and it was hard to let her go
