Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons

They've been writing our story before there was one

From the day you arrive, 'til you walk, 'til you run

There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love

They can offer advice that you don't wanna hear

Words that cut like a knife and still ring in your ear

You think of them ignorant, they think of you arrogant

If you need evidence, who gave you confidence?

A snap of the finger and you're not a child

But you're still holding on as you walk down the aisle

When they give you away to hear someone else say

That someone will love you 'til their dying day

Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons

They've been writing our story before there was one

From the day you arrive 'til you walk, 'til you run

There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love

And that's the story of love

You can choose to remember or choose to forget

If they took you to school or they tucked you in bed

You can say it don't matter, you won't do the same

You'd think no one noticed when you looked away

Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons

They've been writing our story before there was one

From the day you arrive 'til you walk, 'til you run

There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love

Now they're getting older and you ain't so young

So you take care of them like your daughters and sons

You can ask for forgiveness, they could ask for the same

Forget all the anguish, the heartache, the pain

Wherever you go or wherever you've been

It's them that is with you and that's you that's with them

Fathers and daughters and mothers and sons

As one story ends another's, another's begun

Oh, fathers love daughters like mothers love sons

They've been writing our story before there was one

From the day you arrive 'til you walk, 'til you run

There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love

From hello to goodbye that's the story of love

That's the story of love
