My memory is so clear
As I think back on the year
That I saw you wear a white dress
For the first time
It was the day I brought you home
A child to call my own
And I held you close to hear the beat of your heart
So tiny and so fragile
You could hardly lift your head to look and see
But I knew you were so special
As a storm of love came raining down on me
Time is relentless, unyielding and unkind
I never knew how quickly it would pass me
Until the day you said goodbye

And still the days they passed
With moments made to last
When I saw you wear a white dress
Those other times
Like the day you claimed your faith
First time you had a date
Or the final dance of teenage high school years
I’m not sure I’m ready
For the woman that your trying hard to be
My little girl is changing
I can almost see the day you won’t need me
Time is relentless, unyielding and unkind
I never knew how quickly it was passing
Until the day you said goodbye

So here I am today
With a bride to give away
And see her wear this white dress
For the last time
Cause today you’re leaving home
To go out on your own
And start a life with someone who’s your dream
Seems like only yesterday
That I held you in my arms for all to see
And now it’s him that holds you
It’s time to let you go and set you free
Time is relentless, unyielding and unkind
I never new how quickly it had passed me
How the days have flown right passed me
How the life I’ve lived has gone right past
Until the day you said goodbye
