Lyrics
I found a little girl and I fell in love
She shines brighter than the stars above
I bought her a pretty diamond ring
Asked her, if she would marry me
She said, “Will you treat me like my daddy did
Left me and momma, I was just a kid
He took off runnin’, I never saw his face again
So, when it comes to love, I ain’t the trustin’ kind
There’s a whole lotta scars on this heart of mine
I’m crazy about ya, I’m not sure I can”
I took that pretty girl by the hand
I looked her in her eyes and said, “I understand
There’s nothing’ you could tell me that would change a thing
I still want you to wear my ring
“I’ll treat you like my daddy did
He took me fishin’ when I was a kid
When I played ball, he never missed a game
When it comes to love, I’m the trusting kind
There ain’t no scars on this heart of mine
I’m crazy about ya, I’m pretty sure I can”
Tomorrow morning is our wedding day
And all your fears are gonna fade away
Together we’re gonna build a bridge
No, I won’t treat ya like your daddy did
We’ll have the kind of love that’s the trusting kind
I’ll give you ever piece of this heart of mine
We were meant to be, I’m pretty sure we can
I found a little girl and I fell in love
She shines brighter than the stars above
