For you my girl |
LyricsFor You, My Girl Yves tilmant © 2025Country-Pop Ballad / 3:40 runtime / Emotional & Uplifting [Verse 1] I held you close on the day you arrived Tiny fingers wrapped around my life From lullabies to your first run You changed me more than anyone [Pre-Chorus] I may not leave you silver and gold But I'll leave you things that don't grow old [Chorus] For you, my girl, I'm building a sky Where dreams take flight and tears can dry I'll leave a name that stands for grace A light that time won't ever erase I may not be here your whole world through But my heart will always walk with you That's the legacy I leave-- For you, my girl [Verse 2] There'll be days when the world feels mean When you question what love and courage mean So I'm writing down the best I've learned To pass the flame that I once earned [Pre-Chorus] Kindness is strength, don't be fooled by the noise You're powerful simply by using your voice [Chorus] For you, my girl, I'm planting the seeds Of truth and hope and quiet deeds I'll leave a name that stands for grace A light that time won't ever erase I may not be here your whole world through But my heart will always walk with you That's the legacy I leave-- For you, my girl [Bridge] When you're lost, just close your eyes You'll hear my love in lullabies In every choice, in every stand Know you're walking with my hand [Final Chorus] For you, my girl, I give all I can Not castles or crowns, but a steady hand I'll leave a name that stands for grace A light that time won't ever erase I may not be here your whole world through But my soul will always shine in you That's the legacy I leave-- For you, my girl [Outro] Yeah, everything I've been or ever will be-- I leave for you, my girl. |
