Lyrics
Nikki's Theme
(Anthony Marques)
1. As I give away my own daughter to the man she'll marry today,
I think of the memories that matter and of her and her own special ways.
Chorus: A part has moved on, a part of her stayed,
Her place in my heart will always remain.
2. As we dance this dance now together, every step we take brings to mind
All the joy we shared in her growing during all of our favorite times.
Chorus: A part has moved on, a part of her stayed,
Her place in my heart will always remain.
A part of her stayed, a part has moved on
And my pride in her is ever so strong.
3. As I see her life in the future, like a bird that's leaving the nest.
Every step she takes in her new life, I know that she will do her best.
Chorus: A part has moved on, a part of her stayed,
Her place in my heart will always remain.
A part of her stayed, a part has moved on
And my pride in her is ever so strong.
