Scarlet Ribbons Lyrics

From the cradle to a throne
My flesh and my bone
Is that the way it's supposed to be

How the story goes
Ribbons and bows
Like a thorn on a rose
When the one man who
Gave it all to you
Has to let you go

You found for me
A scarlet ribbon
Scarlet ribbons for my hair

What becomes of a father's love
When another has his daugther's love
Don't you know they'll never be above
I'll always be your little girl

It's all borrowed time
And you always said
I would regret it
If I grew up to fast
But my heart is strong and true

I'm doing fine
The things that you said
I won't forget them
I'll do as you ask
And always play fair for you

You found for me
A scarlet ribbon
Scarlet ribbons for my hair
What becomes of a father's love
When another has his daugther's love
Don't you know they'll never be above
I'll always be your little girl

There's a part of you
In every part of me
Maybe you should know
I won't let that go
As long as I can cry
On his shoulder
Won't be growing up
Just older
You've gotta let me go

You found for me
A scarlet ribbon
Scarlet ribbons for my hair
What becomes of a father's love
When another has his daugther's love
Don't you know they'll never be above
I'll always be your little girl

You gotta let me go...
You gotta let me go...
