LYRICS
Title: Stepfather of the Bride (for Erin)
Words & Music By: Michael J. McLaughlin
© 2005 Michael J McLaughlin - all rights reserved

VERSE 1
I remember when I met you; you looked like you could be mine
With your blue eyes and smile; maybe it was a sign.
I fell in love with your mama and you came along for the ride.
Now you're getting married, and I'm the stepfather of the bride.

VERSE 2
I couldn't replace your daddy, and I wouldn't want to try
The one who you relied on all the way to junior high
He was your mama's man when he gave you life, he should be at your side
It isn't always easy for the stepfather of the bride

CHORUS:
I was there as you grew, but can't walk you down the aisle
After all we've been through, Can I dance with you for a while?
Tomorrow I'm gonna miss you; but today I'm filled with pride
Smiling ear to ear, as the stepfather of the bride

VERSE 3
There were many times we argued, not seeing eye to eye
I tried to raise you up right, sometimes I made you cry.
But you touched my heart so many times that now I must confide
I love you like a daughter; I'm the stepfather of the bride.

REPEAT CHORUS
