• That Boy In The Sand

    A child is born
    Daddy's little princess
    Her first words
    Her first steps
    He is so proud of her

    She's walking now
    Giggling with joy and happiness
    Oh no! She almost tumbled down the stairs
    Protectiveness immediately kicks in

    Playing in the sand
    Her eyes get wide
    A boy walks up
    Her new friend

    Giggling the car ride home
    Twirling her hair she sighs,
    "Daddy, I'm gonna marry that boy one day"
    No one's gonna take his little girl away

    Her first day of school
    "I'm a big girl," she says
    Tears fill his eyes
    As he waves goodbye

    Today's the day
    His little girl turned into a woman
    Face pale, he tries to catch his breath
    She's growing up too fast

    A boy asked her out today
    Took her to see a movie
    Leaning in for a goodnight kiss
    Oh god, what will become of this

    Crying in her room
    Wanting to be left alone
    It pains him to see her heart broken
    What he'd give to kill that boy right now

    Remember that childhood friend?
    He asked her out again
    She's going to give him a chance

    Excitement gleaming in her eyes
    It's her moment to shine
    He can't believe it
    She's about to leave home

    Time for her to visit
    Things are going well
    Her boyfriend pulls him aside

    Clutching his heart
    Needing to sit down
    They're in love
    He had asked for her hand

    Months of preparing
    Didn't help him one bit
    He's about to give his little girl
    To another man

    Her eyes filled with happiness
    "May I have this dance?"
    Holding her in his arms once more
    "Don't worry dad. You'll always be my number one man"

    Tears fill their eyes
    As they hug each other goodbye
    "Told you," she said

    With a final wave,
    She takes her husbands hand

    Who would've guessed
    She'd marry that boy
    She met in the sand.
