Alexis

[Verse 1]
There's a church bell ringing down the road
And a white dress hanging by the door
I still remember the day that you were born
And the first time you laughed out loud

[Chorus]
So go on and dance, my girl, tonight
Wear that beautiful smile like a bride
God gave me you and I've been grateful every day
Now He's given you a love to light your way
Alexis, your mama and I are so proud
Of the woman you've become right here and now

[Verse 2]
First day of school you waved and didn't cry
I was the one wiping my eyes
Then travel ball, I'd pace that sideline
Yelling "box out" with a coach's pride
You'd crack a joke when we were down by ten
And make the whole bench laugh again

[Chorus]
So go on and dance, my girl, tonight
Wear that beautiful smile like a bride
God gave me you and I've been grateful every day
Now He's given you a love to light your way
Alexis, your mama and I are so proud
Of the woman you've become right here and now

[Bridge]
When the storm came and I was in that bed
You pulled a chair close and held my hand
Lekus, you never left my side
And taught your daddy how to pray

[Verse 3]
All these years and you still say thank you
For every little thing we do
Now you found the one you were waiting for
And someday little feet will cross your floor

[Chorus]
So go on and dance, my girl, tonight
Wear that beautiful smile like a bride
God gave me you and I've been thankful every day
We love you more than life itself
Alexis, your mama and I are so proud
Our hearts are full, we're thanking Him out loud

[Outro]
Thank you, Lord, for all of these years
Thank you, Lekus, now go dance, my dear
