Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You used to stand on my shoes Tiny hands on my chest Laughing loud in the kitchen Spinning circles Sunday dress Now there’s a veil in your hair And they’re all watching you shine But when I look at your face I still see that hand in mine [Chorus] So daddy Can I have this dance One more turn before I go Let me rest my head right here Where I learned to be loved so If I leave with shaky steps Know your grace is why I stand So daddy Can I have this dance Before I take another hand [Verse 2] Remember fears in the dark You would crawl into my bed I would say “You’re my brave one” Kiss your tears from your head Now it’s my eyes that are wet As you’re walking down that aisle Trying hard to keep steady When you give him that first smile [Chorus] So daddy Can I have this dance One more turn before I go Let me rest my head right here Where I learned to be loved so If I leave with shaky steps Know your strength is why I stand So daddy Can I have this dance Before I take another hand [Bridge] You taught me how to let go By holding on so kind You showed me what a love is That stays through every tide If I ever have a daughter I’ll hope she understands The safest place she’ll ever know Is her daddy’s trembling hands (oh) [Chorus] So daddy Can I have this dance One more turn before I go Let me feel your heartbeat slow Count the years inside its glow If I leave with shaky steps Know your love is where I land So daddy Can I have this dance Before I take another hand [Outro] You used to stand on my shoes Now I’m standing on my own But every step I take from here Feels like walking you back home
