Just One Last Waltz

The cowboy took her in his arms and waltzed her round the floor. He told her how much he loved her how he couldn't love her more. From the moment he first saw her when he'd held her in his arms, he'd vowed to keep her safe from any kind of harm. They talked about the days just past when she had climbed up on his knee about the time he hung her swing up in an old pine tree. The first horse that he had bought her a paint gelding she called"Friend." They had some fine adventures and she could ride him like the wind. Somehow, someplace his little cowgirl had become a woman grown and today was her grand wedding day she was no longer his alone. They waltzed around the room once more a tear was in his eye, "Oh, Daddy, don't you do that or you're gonna make me cry!" He whispered, "You're the darling of my heart, I just wanted you to know." As he held her close just one last time it was hard to let her go. He took her hand and he gave her to the young cowboy by her side who had stole away his baby girl this lovely glowing bride. But, he whispered as she turned away "I love you, I hope you'll always know... and then he turned and blew a kiss and then he let her go.
