if father time had a daughter

Two, three, four

Saturday sleep late, bed head smile
Daddy-daughter date down a cereal aisle
Shoppin' cart ride with my Goldilocks
Little arms wrapped 'round a Lucky Charms box

Right there, that's my world
Father time must've never had a little girl
I know I'm gonna blink, and I'm gonna be a mess
When that Cinderella shirt is a weddin' dress

And they're gon' play that song (ooh-ooh), it's so bittersweet
And I'll remember her in her little bare feet
Dancin' on her toes on my boots
I'ma try not to cry, but shoot

Y'all gon' have to give me a break (ooh-ooh) if you see a few tears
These are just some really, really, really good years
I bet daddy's girls will stay little a little bit longer
If father time had a daughter

Y'all, I can't wait to meet who she becomes
Yeah, I know she can't stay forever young
Hell, I pray for the guy that gets to lift that veil
But I'm even gonna miss lettin' her paint my nails

When they play that song (ooh-ooh), it's so bittersweet
(So bittersweet)
And I'll remember her in her little bare feet
(In her little bare feet)
Dancin' on her toes on my boots
I'ma try not to cry, but shoot

Y'all gon' have to give me a break if you see a few tears
(If you see a few tears)
These are just some really, really, really good years
(Just some really good years)
I bet daddy's girls will stay little a little bit longer
If father time had a daughter

Yeah, slow it on down, down, down
Have mercy on a girl dad
Yeah, I know before I know it, I'ma turn around
And it's gonna hurt bad

When they play that song, it's so bittersweet
And I'll remember her in her little bare feet
Dancin' on her toes on my boots
I'ma try not to cry, but shoot

Y'all gon' have to give me a break (ooh-ooh) if you see a few tears
(If you see a few tears)
These are just some really, really, really good years
(Just some really good years)
I bet daddy's girls will stay little a little bit longer
If father time had a daughter
