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 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
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 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)
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
