From First Laugh to First Dance

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a church bell ringing down the road And a white dress hanging by the door I still remember the day that you were born And the first time you laughed out loud [Chorus] So go on and dance, my girl, tonight Wear that beautiful smile like a bride God gave me you and I've been grateful every day Now He's given you a love to light your way Alexis, your mama and I are so proud Of the woman you've become right here and now [Verse 2] First day of school you waved and didn't cry I was the one wiping my eyes Then travel ball, I'd pace that sideline Yelling "box out" with a coach's pride You'd crack a joke when we were down by ten And make the whole bench laugh again [Chorus] So go on and dance, my girl, tonight Wear that beautiful smile like a bride God gave me you and I've been grateful every day Now He's given you a love to light your way Alexis, your mama and I are so proud Of the woman you've become right here and now [Bridge] When the storm came and I was in that bed You pulled a chair close and held my hand Lekus, you never left my side And taught your daddy how to pray [Verse 3] All these years and you still say thank you For every little thing we do Now you found the one you were waiting for And someday little feet will cross your floor [Chorus] So go on and dance, my girl, tonight Wear that beautiful smile like a bride God gave me you and I've been thankful every day We love you more than life itself Alexis, your mama and I are so proud Our hearts are full, we're thanking Him out loud [Outro] Thank you, Lord, for all of these years Thank you, Lekus, now go dance, my dear
