You're Getting Married

As you walk down the aisle
to start your life anew.
Remember dear one
that we all love you.

You enter the church
on the arm of daddy dear.
Who has on his face
a trickling tear.

Memories of a little girl
growing through the years.
Pass thorough his mind
As each step to the alter nears.

Now comes the moment
to give you away
To a man who as promised
to love you each day.

A kiss on the cheek
and daddy's work is done.
He's not losing a daughter
he's gaining a son.
