Your Tiny Toes (Teaser)

I held you tight and touched your button nose

You helped me smile with your tiny toes

Now you’re my girlfriend you’re three years old,

You grab my finger and you won’t let go

And on your birthday it’s just you and me

We’ll put some flowers where your Momma sleeps

Oh I can’t forget your perfect tiny toes

Or the first time I touched your button nose

And on your first day in school

Sweetheart don’t forget the golden rule

We spread peanut butter on some bread

And added jelly just like you said

You thought it was an awesome snack

And said, “Dad, I love you’ve got my back”

I can’t forget your perfect tiny toes

Or the first time I touched your button nose

Now, I’m gonna be a Daddy Scout

It’s hard with just little girls about

I don’t mind selling cookies

Wouldn’t you like to try Little League

You slammed a triple and won the game

You were already in my Hall of Fame

And on your birthday it’s just you and me

We’ll put some flowers where your Momma sleeps

Oh I can’t forget your perfect tiny toes

Or the first time I touched your button nose
