Lyrics
On my face there s a smile, as onto the dance floor they glide, dance with me daughter of mine
But i know you re not my little girl anymore, but i love you so, a lovely young woman has taken her place
this is the dance of the bride and her father
And to whom i must give you away, on my face there s a smile
He looks at her now, and to whom i must give you away
but i know you re not my little girl anymore
but deep in my heart there s a tear
And to whom i must give you away, you ll soon be going away
As his mind wanders back to the first time he held her, with smiles on their faces they stare
we twirl around the floor
You may leave my arms but never my heart, but i love you so, and there s happiness written all over her face
A lovely young woman has taken her place, this is the dance of the bride and her father
A lovely young woman has taken her place, our friends and relations are here in the church McDermott, but i love you so
but i wish you love and happiness too
And to whom i must give you away, now you ve found a new man, i loved you since you first began
The dance has begun, this is the dance of the bride and her father Of, these are the thoughts of a father
As his mind wanders back to the first time he held her, with smiles on their faces they stare
On this your wedding day, our friends and relations are here in the church
We walk down the aisle, and there s happiness written all over her face
That my love won t falter, we walk down the aisle
On my face there s a smile, our friends and relations are here in the church, these are the thoughts of a father
Dance with me daughter of mine, dance with me daughter of mine Mine, but i love you so
But i love you so, this is the dance of the bride and her father, the dance has begun
this is the dance of the bride and her father
And to whom i must give you away, he looks at her now, on the wedding day of his daughter
And this you must know, dance with me daughter of mine, our friends and relations are here in the church
and to whom i must give you away
our friends and relations are here in the church
that my love won t falter
you may leave my arms but never my heart
that my love won t falter
the dance has begun
on the wedding day of his daughter
And to whom i must give you away, but i know you re not my little girl anymore, dance with me daughter of mine
beautiful daughter of mine
He looks at her now, he looks at her now
Dance with me daughter of mine, these are the thoughts of a father
and there s happiness written all over her face
And there s happiness written all over her face, dance with me daughter of mine, but i know you re not my little girl anymore
we twirl around the floor
as his mind wanders back to the first time he held her
And this you must know, these are the thoughts of a father
This is the dance of the bride and her father, dance with me daughter of mine, a lovely young woman has taken her place
with smiles on their faces they stare
the same pride in his eyes
Dance with me daughter of mine, and to whom i must give you away, the same pride in his eyes
