VERSE1
Youve asked me if Im ready -Youve told me what to do
In moments well walk arm in arm -And Ill stand next to you
And when Im asked I know the words -Im supposed to say
Ill tell them all that Im the one -Whos giving you away
|
VERSE2
Then youll kiss me on the cheek -And turn to take your vows
Ill retreat into the crowd -To wonder what comes now
For years youve been a part of me -And not of someone new
But now Im being asked to see -If I can give him you
|
CHORUS
How do I give away -A piece of my heart
Where does someone put the knife -To cut away that part
Ill say the words you want me to -But Im not sure theyre true
Therell always be a part of me -That keeps a part of you
|
VERSE3
When you were small I knew that I -Could shelter you from harm
I only had to pick you up -And hold you in my arms
I understood the day would come -When you would test your wings
As candyland and tea parties -Gave way to grown up things
|
VERSE4
As you flew all I could do -Was try to stay near by
And wish that I could hold you then -When you would fly too high
I tried to be the one youd reach for -If you lost your way
And never thought about the words -That Ive been asked to say
|
CHORUS
So how do I give away -A piece of my heart
Where does someone put the knife -To cut out just that part
Ill say the words you want me to -But Im not sure theyre true
Therell always be a part of me -That keeps a part of you
|
(Instrumental)
|
VERSE5
Ive come to know the one whos waiting -Reaching for your hand
Ive seen the way he cares for you -There is no better man
Ill say the words you want -But you should know that as I do
Therell always be a part of me -That keeps a part of you
Therell always be a part of me -That keeps a part of you
