There’re ten baby toes on my wingtip shoes
We’re gliding on air in our living room
She wraps her baby fingers around my thumbs
She says “Daddy, Daddy, you know you’re number one”
Daddy, take my hand
Never let it go

Daddy, I don’t like lightning, long-legged bugs and dogs that might bite me
Why do they have to bark?
And why do the nights have to be so dark?
Daddy take my hand
And never let it go

Chorus
Daddy take my hand
Never let it go
Tell my you’re my boyfriend and that you love me so
Promise to always care
Young girls they must be told
Daddy take my hand
Never let it go

Daddy, I know that I ought’a
Know how to swim
I don’t like the water
If you want me to learn how to swim
You know that you’ll have to take my hand
Daddy take my hand
And never let it go

The girl’s thirteen
Cutest bug you’ve ever seen
She’s got her daddy’s heart tied up and now she’s
Tugging on that string

Too old for puppy love
She’s too young for romance
She’s all dressed-up on a Friday night
My baby’s learning how to dance
Dad, I’ll teach you a step or two
Just lend my your right shoulder
(And) take my hand
(And) never let it go

Chorus

Every father’s dream
For his baby girl
Is that she’ll meet a Godly man
And they’d explore this world
(Well) the day that your hearts first crossed
Your mom did surely know
One day he’d take your hand
And in this church we’d stand
In front of family and friends
He’d vow to love you so.

So Alan take her hand
And never let it go
Tell her you’re her boyfriend
And that you love her so
Promise to always care
Young wives they must be told
Alan take her hand
As the Lord commands
Ashley take his hand
And never let it go
