THE DOOR SWUNG WIDE OPEN

(Written by Jeff Ridler)

Verse

NOW OUR LITTLE ONE HAS TURNED OUT

JUST LIKE MOST PARENTS WOULD PRAY

NOW I’M THINKIN BACK TO A SCREEN DOOR

JUST SWINGIN WITH HER OFF TO PLAY

CHORUS

AND THE DOOR SWUNG WIDE OPEN

BUT IT WASN’T SWINGIN MY WAY

HEARIN DADDY I REALLY LOVE YOU…

BUT RIGHT NOW YOU KNOW I CAN’T STAY

VERSE

REMEMBER WHEN SHE WAS SO LITTLE

IT SEEMS JUST LIKE YESTERDAY

THERE SHE IS BY THE DOOR OFF TO SCHOOL

TO REHEARSE HER LEAD IN THE PLAY

CHORUS

VERSE

HERE WE ARE EVERYONE IT’S THE BIG DAY

THEY’LL ASK ME TO GIVE HER AWAY

FRIENDS AND FAMILY, THE CHURCH AND THE BIG DOOR

OUR BABY IS OFF ON HER WAY

CHORUS

TAG

MY HEART IS BREAKING

HEARING RIGHT NOW YOU KNOW I CAN’T STAY
