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 a way to hear someone else say That someone will love you till they're dying to La-de-da-de-de-di La-de-da-de-de-di 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 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 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, wherever you've been It's them that is with you and that's you that's with them Fathers and daughters, dear mothers and sons As one story ends, another's begun 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 From hello to goodbye That's the story of love That's the story of love That's the story of love That's the story of love That's the story of love That's the story of love That's the story of love
