"And though she be but little, she is fierce."- Shakespeare


She'd always dreamed of roses

Walking down the aisle

She'd always dreamed of kisses

From someone who made her smile

Ever since she was a little girl, she wanted to

Wear white

 

But it wasn't until that night...

 

She was a junior bridesmaid on her aunt's special day

When she realized daddies were designed to give their girls away

She paused for a second, but her dreams never dissipated

She longed for the moment, oh how she waited

Ever since she was a little girl, she wanted to

Have a train

 

And it wasn't until the reception came...

 

Yes, she got her pretty roses

On her solitary walk down the aisle

She got her tender kisses

From someone who made her smile

Memories of a little girl as she wore the white

Memories of a little girl as her train

Trailed behind

 

But then the music came on and

Her song was a cry

 

Daddy, can I have this dance

I'll leave my roses on the ground

I want your kisses on my forehead

As you begin to twirl me around

 

Daddy, can I have this dance

I'll leave my roses on the ground

I'll cut the train on the white I'm wearing

So you won't trip and fall down

 

Daddy, can I have this dance...
