186 Million Miles

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The day you came was one month early Like you couldn't wait to start Tiny hands, a fighter's spirit Already stealing every heart I held you close, I made a promise To love you through the years [Chorus] A hundred eighty-six million miles To the sun and back again That's how far my love will travel From the moment this began Through every road, through every season Elizabeth, it's true There ain't a distance in this world That measures what I feel for you [Verse 2] You grew up brave and adventurous With kindness in your eyes Always giving, always thoughtful With a wildflower's surprise You took my hand to mountain tops Where I never dreamed I'd be [Chorus] A hundred eighty-six million miles To the sun and back again That's how far my love will travel From the moment this began Through every road, through every season Elizabeth, it's true There ain't a distance in this world That measures what I feel for you [Bridge] Angel's Landing in the morning light Sequoia shadows tall and wide Blue Lagoon, that healing water You showed your daddy the world outside [Verse 3] Now you're standing at the altar In a dress as white as snow Giving your heart to another And it's time to let you go But you'll always be my daughter My greatest gift, my pride [Chorus] A hundred eighty-six million miles To the sun and back again That's how far my love will travel From the moment this began Through every road, through every season Elizabeth, it's true There ain't a distance in this world That measures what I feel for you [Outro] So fly, my girl, the sky's still waiting And I'll be loving you A hundred eighty-six million miles And forever after too
