Be The One

from Late Bloomers by Hawkeye Pierce

lyrics

Burstin' through the church door on a Sunday afternoon
With whiskey on my breath and a wedding ending soon
I pull my hair behind me and straighten up my tie
Clear my voice to speak and try my best not to cry

I only want your happiness and
I'll fight any man that stands in your way
You'll never have to shed another tear
As long as I have anything to say

So tell your pa to step aside
I promise I won't take up too much time
Please, Sir, excuse my foolish pride
Let me be the one to give her away

Don't be scared, my darlin'
I don't mean to ruin your day
Preacher asked for objections
There's a few things I've to say
I don't mean no respect, Sir
This may seem like formality
She'll always be your daughter
But this is the end of the line for me

So tell your pa to step aside
I promise I won't take up too much time
Please, Sir, excuse my foolish pride
Let me be the one to give her away
