Sing me a song again, Daddy; sing me a happy verse
Teach me those clever rhymes you sang as you carried me on your shoulders
Sing me that hymn that you so loudly sang in church with Mom
Sing it again to me and fill me with all your words of wisdom

Comforting words I've loved when I would get home from school in tears
Somehow your songs have stayed within me down through all the years
Once when my younger heart was broken, your shoulder was there to cry on
Sing me those songs I know will linger long after you have gone

I am standing at the threshold of the chapter in my life
I am asking for your blessing as I'm about to be the wife
Of a man I know who loves me and I'm proud to be his bride
Dad, the time has come for me to leave your side

So, sing me a song again, Daddy; sing me a lullaby
Wrap me inside your arms, Daddy, though this is not goodbye
Your songs will live forever in my heart when times get rough
The ones I'll most remember are your songs of love

(Your songs will live forever in my heart when times get rough)
The ones I'll most remember are your songs of love
