Bon Jovi - Story of Love lyrics

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

They can offer advice that
You don't wanna hear
Words that cut like a knife and
Still ring in your ear
You think of them ignorant
They think of you arrogant
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

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
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

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

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
