The Swing

(4 measure intro) (Verse 1) Daddy's calloused hands pushed me high Giggles floatin' in the summer air That old oak swing, my castle in the sky Where little girls dream without a care. (Musical interlude) (Verse 2) Thirteen candles on my birthday cake But I still race him to our favorite spot Sharing jokes that only we could make This swing's seen every smile we've got. (Chorus) On that front yard swing Where time stands still Every push, every moment Is a memory I hold dear From daddy's little girl To the woman I've become That swing's seen it all Under the summer sun. (Verse 3) The memories we've had on this swing The fun, the laughter, so many things I tell him I'm scared of what I'm bout to do He says, that's okay, I'm here for you. (Chorus) On that front yard swing Where time stands still Every push, every moment Is a memory I hold dear From daddy's little girl To the woman I've become That swing's seen it all Under the summer sun. (Bridge) Through the years, that swing's been there A witness to our bond that'll never fade From pigtails to white veil, Daddy's care Is the sweetest memory this swing has made (Chorus) On that front yard swing Where time stands still Every push, every moment Is a memory I hold dear From daddy's little girl To the woman I've become That swing's seen it all Under the summer sun (end)
