Daddy Daughter Dance

Today is our day

I want you to know what this means to me

All year long I wait for the moment

Weeks spent preparing

Months of anticipation

Now today is our day

You‘ve picked out your dresses

Your shoes

I’ve prepared my suit

The one day a year my clothes are waiting

I have flowers and gifts and butterflies in my stomach

Because today is our day

I will ring the doorbell today

Nervous with joy

To see your faces your eyes your pride

There is no better feeling

Than knowing that you know I love you

And today is our day

Today we will dance

Us together twirling In circles

Beautiful gowns and my tie in the wind

Fluttering to the sounds of our laughter

There is no day more special than this

For today is our day

I know you will grow

Your excitement for this day will wane while mine remains

I do not mourn this future

My respect for it helps me remember how fleeting these days are

Someday I’ll have to find new ways to celebrate my love for you

But for today we dance

Today is our day
