I’ll take this (A)slow, (E)sweet (F#m7)walk with you.

You’ll let (A)go (E)of my (F#m7)hand to say, “I (D)do.”

And (F#m7)he will dis (E)cov er just how (D)blessed a life can be.

I (A)know, ’cause (A)all those (Dm)years a go, your mom (D)hand ed you to (A)me.

Ev ’ry step that we take brings (D)back the mem o ries,

win ter snows and horse shows and (D)danc ing on the beach.

I can’t help (C#)think ing that I’m the luck y one;

you’re (A)still my ba by (B7sus)daugh ter, and (D)now I’ve gained a (E)son.

I’ll take this (A)slow, (E)sweet (F#m7)walk with you.

You’ll let (A)go (E)of my (F#m7)hand to say, “I (D)do.”

And (F#m7)he will dis (E)cov er just how (D)blessed a life can be.

I (A)know, ’cause (A)all those (Dm)years a go, your mom (D)hand ed you to (A)me.

Ev ’ry Don’t miss a chance to (D)put each oth er first,
