Always Our Little Girl

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The porch light burns a little late There's an empty chair where you would sit The house got quiet when you left And we're still getting used to it Now college has you chasing dreams And we miss you more than words can say [Chorus] So keep on reaching for the stars The sky's the limit, don't you know Happy birthday, look how far you are Look how bright you've grown Alessia, go take on the world You'll always be our little girl [Verse 2] You were brave from the very start Little hands that pushed ours away "I can do it by myself," you'd say With that fearless, fiery heart Now you're walking your own road Stronger than you'll ever know [Chorus] So keep on reaching for the stars The sky's the limit, don't you know Happy birthday, look how far you are Look how bright you've grown Alessia, go take on the world You'll always be our little girl [Bridge] And when the nights get long and hard And the weight's too much to hold Give it to God and go to sleep He loves you more than you'll ever know [Verse 3] So light the candles, make a wish A brand new chapter's calling you We'll be cheering every step In everything you do Always trust in God, my dear His love and ours will guide you home [Chorus] So keep on reaching for the stars The sky's the limit, don't you know Happy birthday, look how far you are Look how bright you've grown Alessia, go take on the world You'll always be our little girl [Outro] Keep reaching for the stars Happy birthday, sweet Alessia You'll always be our little girl
