Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D](Two, three, four)
Saturday, sleep late, [A]bed head smile
[D]Daddy daughter date down

[Verse 2]
a cereal aisle
[G]Shopping cart ride with my [D]Goldie Locks
[G]Little arms wrapped 'round
[A]Luck Charms box
Right [D]there, that's my world
Father time must've never had a little girl
I [G]know I'm gonna blink and I'm
[D]gonna be a mess
When that [G]Cinderella shirt is
a wed[A]ding dress

[Verse 3]
And they're gon' play that [D]song,
it's so bitter[A]sweet
And I remember [D]her in her little bare feet
Dan[G]cing on the toes of my [D]boots
I'ma [G]try not to cry but shoot
[D]Y'all gon' have to give me a break if
you see a few [A]tears
Least had you some [G]really, really,
[D]really, good years
Bet [G]daddy's girl's would stay
[A]little a [D]little bit [G]longer
[D]If father [A]time had a [D]daughter
[A][Bm][D]
[G]

[Verse 4]
[D][G]
[A]Y'all, I can[D]'t wait to meet who
[A]she becomes
Yeah, I [D]know, she can't
stay forever young
Hell, I [G]pray for the
guy that gets to [D]lift that veil
[G]But I'm even gonna miss
letting her [A]paint my nails

[Verse 5]
When they play that [D]song,
it's so bittersweet (so bitter[A]sweet)
And I remember [Bm]her in her [D]little bare feet
(in her little bare feet)
[G]Dancing on the toes of my [D]boots
I'ma [G]try not to cry but shoot
[A]Y'all gon' have to give me a [D]break if you see a few
[A]tears (if you see a few tears)
Least had you some [Bm]really, really,
really, good [D]years (just some really good years)
Bet [G]daddy's girl's would stay
[D]little a little bit [G]longer
[A]If father time had a [D]daughter

[Verse 6]
[A]Yeah, slow it on [Bm]down, down, down
[D]Have mercy on a [G]girl dad
[D]Yeah, I know before I [G]know it I'ma
turn around
And it's gonna [A]hurt bad

[Verse 7]
When they play that [D]song,
it's so bittersweet
[A]And I remember her[D]
in her little bare feet
[G]Dancing on the toes of my [D]boots
I'ma [G]try not to cry but shoot
[A]Y'all gon' have to give me a [D]break if you see a few
tears(if you [A]see a few tears)
Least had you some [Bm]really, really,
really, good years (just some [D]really good years)
Bet [G]daddy's girl's would stay
[D]little a little bit [G]longer
[A]If father time had a [D]daughter[A]
[Bm][D][G]
[A]
