Chorus:
 C
Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
               Am
They've been writing our story before there was one
         Dm
From the day you arrive, till you walk, till you run
          F
There is nothing but pride,
there is nothing but love

         C
They can offer advice that you don't wanna hear
            Am
Words that cut like a knife and still ring in your ear
      Dm
You think of them ignorant, they think of you arrogant
F
If you need evidence, who gave you confidence?

A snap of the finger and you're not a child
But you're still holdin' on as you walk down the aisle
When they give you away to hear someone else say
That someone will love you 'til their dyin' day

Chorus:
 C
Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
               Am
They've been writing our story before there was one
          Dm
From the day you arrive till you walk, till you run
          F
There is nothing but pride,
                         C C/B Am G
there is nothing but love
F                G       C
And that's the story of love

You can choose to remember or choose to forget
If they took you to school or they tucked you in bed
You can say it don't matter, you won't do the same
You'd think no one noticed when you looked away

Chorus:
Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
They've been writing our story before there was one
From the day you arrive 'til you walk, 'til you run
There is nothin' but pride, there is nothin' but love

Now they're getting older, and you ain't so young
So you take care of them like your daughters and sons
You can ask for forgiveness, they could ask for the same
Forget all the anguish, the heartache, the pain

Wherever you go or wherever you've been
It's them that is with you, and that's you that's with them
Fathers and daughters and mothers and sons
As one story ends, another's begun

Chorus:
Oh, fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
They've been writing our story before there was one
From the day you arrive 'til you walk, 'til you run
There is nothin' but pride, there is nothin' but love
From hello to goodbye, that's the story of love
That's the story of love
