VERSE1
Youve asked me if Im ready
You 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 nearby
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 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
|

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
