This Boy & This Girl Lyrics

Dad and his boy in the backyard

Throwin' that ball all night

Dad had been dreamin' of that day

Since he heard his boy's first cry

And the boy don't know that his daddy can't wait

To teach him a million things

How to work, how to play, how to love, how to pray

And how to chase his dreams

Then daddy pulls him close and says my boy

I just want you to know I love you

And I'm just so proud of you

The choices you're making the chances you're taking

Are making me smile

And I'll be right here for you

When you get a curveball or two

With more advice than you might like

It's what dad's do

And tonight you fill my heart with joy

Cause there's somethin' bout a dad and his boy

Another dad and his girl on a lakeshore

Waitin for the fish to bite

When she reeled one in, she set the hook on him

On her daddy by her side

And the girl don't know that her daddy can't wait

To teach her a million things

How to work, how to play, how to love, how to pray

And how to chase her dreams

Then daddy pulls her close and says my girl

I just want you to know I love you

And I'm just so proud of you

The choices you're making the chances you're taking

Are making me smile

And I'll be right here for you

When you get a line crossed or two

I'll worry more than you might like

It's what dad's do

And tonight you fill my whole wide world

Cause there's somethin' bout a dad and his girl

Those fishing poles and baseballs

Turned to car keys and shopping malls

Late nights and good friends

Summers you wish would never end

Packin' up for college days

Rise and Shout at football games

Dreamin' of the day you'll meet the one

What's meant to be will always find a way

It wasn't chance that helped you two to meet that day

God's loving hand's been guiding your whole lives

So close your eyes and hear Him say these words tonight

I just want you to know I love you

And I'm just so proud of you

The choices you're making the chances you're taking

Are making me smile

And I'll be right here for you

When you need an angel or two

Just take my hand and trust the plan

It's all true

And tonight of all the people in that room

No one deserves your love more than your momma's do

And tonight you're gonna light up the whole world

Cause there's somethin' bout this boy and this girl
