[Intro]

N.C.
One, two, three, four
 
 
[Verse]

 C                   G
Saturday sleep late bed head smile
 C                            Em     C
Daddy daughter date down the cereal aisle
 F                          C
Shoppin' cart ride with my Goldilocks
 F                         
Little orange route tryin' 
 G
Lucky Charms box
       C
Right there, it's my world
 
 
[Verse]
        C
Father time musta never had a little girl
   F                          
I know I’m gonna be blink and 
     C
I’m gonna be a mess
           F
When that Cinderella shirt
 
      G
Is a wedding dress
 
 
[Chorus]
                          C              G
And they gonna play that song so bitter sweet
               Am                      Em
And I rememebr her in her little bare feet
 F                         C
Dancing on my toes and my boots
      F
I'ma try not to cry but shoot
 
 C
Child you'll have to give me a break
                 G
If you se a few tears
                  Am      
We just had some really, 
             Em
really good years
       F                        C
I bet daddy's girls would stay little
              F
A little bit longer
 
G                     C
If father time had a daughter

God, I can't wait to meet who she becomes
         C                    Em
Yeah, I know she cant stay forever young
       F                
And I pray for the guy 
             C
who gets to lift that veil
 F                                   G
But I'm even gonna miss letting her paint my nails
 
 
[Chorus]
                     C     
When they play that song 
                G
it's so bitter sweet
               Am                      Em
And I rememebr her in her little bare feet 

(in her little bare feet)

Dancing on my toes and my boots
 
      F

[Chorus]
                     C    
When they play that song 
                G
it's so bitter sweet

       F                       C
I bet daddy's girls will stay little
