Story behind the song

Richard asked me to help him write a song to sing at his daughter's wedding.  It's a very touching song about a dad's love for his little girl.  Richard is doing the vocals on this song.

Lyrics

Father Of The Bride

As we travel through time, as the pages unfold.
A tale to capture each heart.
So swiftly the years have come and now gone,
Time for this chapter to start.
It's a magical time with the family surround,
Some shedding tears, others smile.
The fairest of brides is holding my arm
As we two walk down the aisle.

Chorus:
A father's delight and his deepest of fears
Are both being realized today.
A sense of great pride combined with his fears
When father gives his daughter away.

Verse Two:
The music begins, and I whisper a prayer,
Thanking God for gaining a son.
Each step takes you closer to living your dream.
For you two will soon become one.

Chorus:
Oh, A father's delight and his deepest of fears
Are both being realized today.
A sense of great pride combined with his fears
When father gives his daughter away.

Verse Three:
The altar approaches, your young man awaits
With love in his heart so true.
Your mother and I will give you away;
A new life begins now for you.

Chorus:
A father's delight and his deepest of fears
Are both being realized today.
A sense of great pride combined with his fears
When father gives his daughter away,
When daddy gives his little girl away.
