Amanda's Song Lyrics

Her smile always lights up the room

She's a little naive, innocent too

Sees the world through her own lens

That's where the beautiful begins

We gave her my grandmother's name

Her childlike faith puts me to shame

She's tough and tender with a silly side

Got a fearless streak a half mile wide

Got a flair for fashion

Full of compassion

She's a sucker for old trucks

She loves all things 80's

Bad jokes and babies

If you try to change her you're outta luck

I'll bet if she had her way

She'd live where mermaids splash and play

She'll clean the house if she gets half a chance

There's a room in her heart where angels dance

She tells me…hey, dad, can you believe

They just said what I said on TV

Well, she hits it hard, then she hits the wall

She's got a few scars, oh but don't we all?

She's a whole lot southern, a little bit stubborn

Always quick to lend a hand

She likes acting goofy, scary movies

She always has to know the plan

She loves out of the way boutiques, Elvis…and antiques

Watching Criminal Minds and Dr. Phil

Rainy day wishing, creek bank fishing

The smell of pork steaks on the grill

Soon she'll go her own way

I'll fake a smile but I dread that day

If it's down the street or across the world

She'll always be my baby girl

You'll always be my baby girl

I'm glad God made you my baby…girl
