From the cradle to the floor
My flesh and my bones
Is that the way its supposed to be
How the story goes
Ribbons and bones
Like a thorn on a rose
When the one man who gave it all to you
Has to let you go
He found for me scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair
What becomes of a fathers love
When another has his daughters love
Dont you know theyll never be here but
Ill always be your little girl
Its all borrowed time
And you always said I would regret it
If I grew up too fast
But my heart is strong and true
Im doing fine
The things that you said
I wont forget them
Ill do as you ask
And always play fair for you
You found for me scarlet ribbons
Those scarlet ribbons for my hair
What becomes of a fathers love
When another has his daughters love, um
Dont you know theyll never be here but
Ill always be your little girl
Theres a part of you
In every part of me should know better
Maybe you should know
I wont let that go
As long as I can cry on your shoulder
Wont be growing up
Just older
You have got to let me go
You found for me scarlet ribbons
Those scarlet ribbons for my hair
What becomes of a fathers love
When another has his daughters love
Dont you know theyll never be here but
Ill always be your little girl
Ill always be, always be your little girl
Always be, always be your little girl
Always be, always be your little girl
Always be your little girl
You have got to let it go, oh, oh
You have got to let it go
You have got to let it go, oh
You have got to let it go
You have got to let it go, oh, oh
You have got to let it go
