Scarlett Ribbons
From the cradle to the throne
My flesh and my bones
Is that the way it's supposed to be
How the story goes?
Ribbons and bows
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
Those scarlet ribbons for my hair
What becomes of a father's love
When another has his daughter's love?
Don't you know they'll never be above?
I'll always be your little girl
It's all borrowed time
And you always said I would regret it
If I grew up too fast
But my heart is strong and true
I'm doing fine
The things that you said, I won't forget them
I'll 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 father's love
When another has his daughter's love
Don't you know they'll never be above?
I'll always be your little girl
There's a part of you
In every part of me, should know better
Maybe you should know
I won't let that go
Long as I can cry on your shoulder
Won't 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 father's love
When another has his daughter's love?
Don't you know they'll never be here but
I'll always be your little girl?
I'll 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've got to let it go, oh, oh
You've got to let it go
You've got to let it go, oh
You've got to let it go
You've got to let it go, oh, oh
You've got to let it go
