He Chose Me As His Own

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a little girl standing in the yard Shy and scared with a guarded heart She climbed into the back of that old truck And something changed like a prayer answered up A man showed up who didn't have to stay But he chose love and he made a way [Chorus] He taught me I was worth the fight That real men stay through every night He set the bar so high I found A love like his to hold me down And every step I take today Is 'cause he never walked away [Verse 2] I was wild and I was hard to hold A rebel running from the love he showed But Anthony he never let me go Tough love sometimes but he let me know That I was his no matter what I'd do He bought my first car and saw me through [Chorus] He taught me I was worth the fight That real men stay through every night He set the bar so high I found A love like his to hold me down And every step I take today Is 'cause he never walked away [Bridge] He raised my brother like his own My sister too they've always known The kind of father hearts pray for Anthony gave us so much more [Verse 3] Now he's walking me down that aisle today And I'm the woman he helped raise He'd drop it all if I just called his name Anthony you're why I'm not afraid You showed me strength and how to stand alone But Daddy you will always be my home [Chorus] You taught me I was worth the fight A real man stays through every night You set the bar so high I found A love like yours to hold me down And every step I take today Is 'cause you never walked away [Outro] You didn't have to choose me but you did And I'll be your little girl always, Dad
