Gotta hold on easy as I let you go.
"By dad," Kaitlin said as she gave her father one last hug before heading off to college.
Gonna tell you how much I love you, though you think you already know.
"I love you Kaitlin." Conner said sadly. "I know." Kaitlin said with a sad grin.
I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm.
"She's so beautiful," Conner said holding her daughter for the first time.
You've had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born.
"She's going to be spoiled isn't she?" Kira asked. "Yes of course!" Conner exclaimed.
You're beautiful baby from the outside in.
"You're still the beautiful baby I grew to love," Conner whispered.
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll home again.
"Remember we're still here." Conner said as Kaitlin stepped away from their hug.
Go on, take on this whole world.
"And…"
"Dad, I know." Kaitlin interrupted. "I was just going to
say…show the world who you are." Conner replied.
But
to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.
"Remember your still our little girl." Conner said after a slight pause.
When you were in trouble that crooked little smile could melt my heart of stone.
"Kaitlin.
You know what you did was wrong right?" Conner asked. "Yes
daddy." Kaitlin said with a slight smile. "Well…okay…"
Conner said, his heart melting at her daughters smile.
Now
look at you, I've turned around and you've almost grown.
"You've
grown way to much," Conner said as his daughter stuffed the last of
her bags in the car
Sometimes
you're asleep I whisper "I Love You!" in the moonlight at
your door.
"I
love you Kaitlin." Conner said as he walked towards his own room to
go to bed.
As
I walk away, I hear you say, "Daddy Love You More!".
"Daddy I love you more!" came Kaitlin's voice from her bedroom.
You're beautiful baby from the outside in.
"You're still the beautiful baby I grew to love," Conner whispered.
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll home again.
"Remember we're still here." Conner said as Kaitlin stepped away from their hug.
Go on, take on this whole world.
"And…"
"Dad, I know." Kaitlin interrupted. "I was just going to
say…show the world who you are." Conner replied.
But
to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.
"Remember your still our little girl." Conner said after a slight pause.
Someday, some boy will come and ask me for your hand.
"Sir,
I love your daughter so much, I am asking your permission to marry
her," said Tommy and Hayley's son, Nick.
But
I won't say "yes" to him unless I know, he's the half
that
makes you whole, he has a poet's soul, and the heart of a man's man.
"Kaitlin,
you really do love Nick don't you?" Conner asked later that
night. "He's the half that makes me whole dad." Kaitlin
reassured.
I know
he'll say that he's in love.
"I'm
in love with Kaitlin Mr. McKnight." Nick said the next day.
But
between you and me. He won't be good enough!
"For me he's not good enough but you love him soo…yeah I agree to your marriage." Conner said a year later.
You're beautiful baby from the outside in.
"You're still the beautiful baby I grew to love," Conner whispered.
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll home again.
"Remember we're still here." Conner said as Kaitlin stepped away from their hug.
Go on, take on this whole world.
"And…"
"Dad, I know." Kaitlin interrupted. "I was just going to
say…show the world who you are." Conner replied.
But
to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.
"Remember your still our little girl." Conner said after a slight pause.
