Lonnie's Song Lyrics

Looking at you now

I never could have dreamed

I'd feel so proud

You and me, side by side

I didn't see it coming

You've always been my little girl

Now youre no longer just a child

And now as you grow older

I'll take this time to remember

I watch as all these memories

Flash by before my mind

Your first smile, your first laugh

Our whole world was filled with light

Your first steps, your first words

You did everything just right

When you were sad, when you were scared

I'd pick you up and hold you tight

I can't believe that little princess is now this beautiful young lady here tonight

We're standing here today

And it seems I can't stop smiling

Even as these tears form in my eyes

You've grown so many ways

But you'll always be our baby

You know you'll always have us by your side

And tho you never show me,

You fight your battles bravely

You've built yourself so gracefully

From the little girl you once were

Your first smile, your first laugh

Our whole world was filled with light

Your first steps, your first words

You did everything just right

When you were sad, when you were scared

I'd pick you up and hold you tight

I can't believe that little princess is now this beautiful young lady here tonight

Now see the road before you

The challenges will test you

At times you'll feel it's more then you can bear

But before you throw your hands up

Deep inside you'll find the answer

Your inner child, that little girl

Will help to make things clear

Your first smile, your first laugh

Our whole world was filled with light

Your first steps, your first words

You did everything just right

When you were sad, when you were scared

I'd pick you up and hold you tight

I can't believe that little princess is now this beautiful young lady here tonight
