Brian McKnight – Marry Your Daughter lyrics
Sir, I'm a bit nervous
About being here today
Still not real sure what I'm going to say
So bare with me please
If I take up too much of your time.
See in this box is a ring for your oldest.
She's my everything and all that I know is
It would be such a relief if I knew that we were on the same side
Cause very soon I'm hoping that I
...

Can marry your daughter
And make her my wife
I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life
And give her the best of me 'til the day that I die
, yeah
I'm gonna marry your princess
And make her my queen
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen
I can't wait to smile
When she walks down the aisle
On the arm of her father
On the day that I marry your daughter

She's been here every step
Since the day that we met
(I'm scared to death to think of what would happen if she ever left)
So don't you ever worry about me ever treating her bad
I've got most of my vows done so far
(So bring on the better or worse)
And 'til death do us part
There's no doubt in my mindddddd
It's time
I'm ready to start
I swear to you with all of my heart...

I'm gonna marry your daughter
And make her my wife
I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life
And give her the best of me 'til the day that I die, yeah
I'm gonna marry your princess
And make her my queen
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen
I can't wait to smile
As she walks down the aisle
On the arm of her father
On the day that I marry your daughter

The first time I saw her
I swear I knew that I'd say I do

I'm gonna marry your daughter
And make her my wife
I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life
And give her the best of me 'till the day that I die
I'm gonna marry your princess
And make her my queen
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen
I can't wait to smile
As she walks down the aisle
On the arm of her father
On the day that I marry your daughter

    I wish to sang this song to my girlfriend but suddenly we broke up and it's been one year since we broke up. She's the only girl I want to spend my life with. She was the one who introduce this song to me after we broke up. Hope we can still be together again and I will ask her to marry me if fate will bring us back together.

    It means the guy is deeply in love with the woman and he is so prepared to be with her no matter what and he assures the woman's father that he's gonna be a very good man to the woman(they say when you have found what you've been lookin' for no-ne can make you part away from it)and this guy now knows that he's found what he's been lookin' for. I love brian mcknight and his songs are so good! Wow what a voice this guy has! The skills!

    The very first day he saw that girl, he wants to marry her. That's why he made and composed a song just for her entitled "marry your daughter". The first time I heard this song was meant so much to me. I hope someday I find someone like him. Someone not my lover but my partner. In good times and in bad times I know he's der for me. Being a girl to be loved by someone like him is like you own an ocean that free from doing anything. That someone treats me not only his wife but his princess. That whatever the risk that someone will ask my fathers permission just to marry me. I loved this song so much. [crazynez'04].

    The song is so very touching, he is asking from the father to marry his daughter. So very formal and very respectful to her family that nowadays is not observed and practiced. It really touches my heart that it really made my tears fall wishing back if my dad was just alive when I got married. I'm so proud of the guy doing that practice. I really like that song very much.

    "Marry Your Daughter" by Brian McKnight is a great song and a song that has a great meaning. Brian is singing to the father of the girl he is gonna marry, he is asking if he can marry the father's daughter. On the first stanza "Sir I'm a bit nervous 'bout being here today, still not real sure what I'm going to say, so bare with me please if I take up too much of your time, See in this box is a ring for your oldest, she's my everything and all that I know is, it would be such a relief if I knew that we were on the same side" which means that Brian is talking to the father of the girl he is gonna marry. He brought a box with a ring for the oldest daughter of the father. And very soon he is hoping that he can marry his daughter. Thank you very much, God bless everyone who read this, and reply if there are some autocorrect. Thank you again to you. Once again, I'm AranaShanna and I'm ten years old and I love Lyricsmode.com.

    It is about the guy assuring the father of his future wife that he's going to take good care of her daughter once they've got married! And also he's telling to him how excited he was to marry her daughter and promise him that everything will be fine once he marry her princes! Lovely song! It has a resemblance to the song "dance with my father". Both songs reminds me of my father haha. :).

    This song is about a guy who deeply fall in love with his girlfriend. But it is unacceptably for his girlfriend's father. Wish if I sing this song dedicated to my grandpa and ma whom already passed away three years ago. Wish to sing this song to my brother's girlfriend to make her realise that my brother deeply fall for her. Do you know what?. My older perfect cousin (brother) sang a sample like this to her but nothings change, now I realise what and how real love feels and act like. Hope to get a tip from it. Bye.

    Marry your daughter this song ay pra sa isang ama. Na kung ppwedeng pkasalan at gawing asawa ng isang guy ang kanyang anak. It doesn't mean dat this song is for a girl that you want to marry but this song is dedicated to a father. A father who takes good care of her daughter. A father dat love her daughter as a princess, a protector and a friend. That's the meaning of this song:) btw I'm a gurl.
    Haaay ilove him so much. Sana pag mka graduate na siya magssama na talaga kami:(hirap ag malayo sa isat isa. Mdami kaming mga pagsubok na hinarap. Kahit nung nalaman ko na my anak pla siya tinanggap ko pa din siya kc mahal na mahal ko siya. Ikaw pagnalaman mo na gnun iiwan mo agad un kung talagang mahal mo siya? Syempre hindi diba.? Oo aminin ko at 1st na hirapan akong tanggapin un, naisip ko paano na ako? Pero sabi niya kahit my anak na ko mahal na mahal pa din kita. Sabi ko pag alis niya babalik ka agad diba? Sabi nman niya oo babalik agad ako iloveyou so much. Kya hanggang ngayon umaasa pa din ako sa kanya kasi mahal na mahal ko yun. Sana bumalik siya agad:(

    I am so emotional upon hearing this song, tears can't stop falling from my eyes. All in my dreams only this things will surely happen. I was married not in time, so far from what I am dreaming of. But then I'm still proud regarding the flow of our marriage. I do pray that somehow in time, this things will be surely experience by my lovely daughter. Time never comes back for what kind of proposal I am wishing of all this time but the message of the song gives a lift to me, I don't know the reason but it surely does. =)

    Mary your daughter titled of the song for me. Its meaningful, its like you can do whatever you can do for a girl with no expecting in return cause you do this for the one you love and you deserve to love her until the end of your life. You can still get up when you feel down in some way, but you never say "no" to give up for the girl that you love most. No matter what could be the results of your relationship either it would happily live or not its normal and its part of our life to experience ups and downs situation. So, I love this song, I'm gonna mary your daughter.

    Great song. Love it's meaning and lyrics. Love it from the very beginning to the last part of the song. Sooo romantic. I should have heard of this when I got married to my hubby, oh well too late. This is about a guy who's going to get married to a girl and he was telling his future father in law about how he really feels about his daughter. Brian mcknight is really good. He's been to the music industry when I was a kid. I'm 30 yrs old now and yet he always have a good song in store for us. Happy listening everyone!

    This shows a great courage for any guys that wants to marry the girl of their dreams. It will take a lot of guys to approach the father and ask the hand of their daughters. It really is a big deal for a father to give also the hand of their daughters to other guys. The feeling of that moment is intense that's why this song really helps a lot for guys and girls out there in time of their marriage times. Love this song. To my honey, I will marry you and ask your hand and permission from you parents. =)

    I like the song! So sweet!
    The boy here understand how much the father love his daughter/s? And how he worries about the future of his child with this man who came to take her away from his family. The man promise to the father that he'll do everything just to make his child happy with him! (^_^) I'd like to see a guy do this type of thing! Action yun! Drama lang gud! Asa mu ana! Istoy au! Vahh! Tisoy!

    He is so much in love with a girl since the day he saw the her. And plan to marry that girl then ask the blessings the girl's father. His feeling is there. The love, and fear if he ever lose the girl. His waiting for the day of their wedding and make her mine and love for the rest of his life. Offerring on what he have for that girl. Lucky girl.

    Uhm, well, for me? First time I ever heard this song, I said " my God! What a very nice song. It makes my heart throb. Someday if ever I'm going to get married, I want this song to be my wedding theme song. As I walk down the aisle, as my groom stands on the end, this song is the background. Try to listen to the lines, it's very touching. You see? A guy was actually asking the girl's father for his daughter. Well, I still believe that a guy can perfectly make his proposal and would make it a very memorable one by talking to the father assuring that he will never hurt you. Isn't that so sweet.? Brian mcknight, this is such a nice song. It's one in a million., tsk. Senti! Hi to my friends and geshies! Love you guys! Sam here>> call me mary. Love you samb.

    God! From the very first time I heard this song. I felt like I was the one being serenaded. I actually asked my husband if he'll say those words to my father, when he was about to ask my hand from my family. And he smiled. This song really touched my heart and for sure all of those who've heard it. This is the best words that a man should say when he was about to ask his girlfriends' hand. That's it! Another great song from mr. Brian mc knight! All hands up!

    For me this song represents people who go all the way just for that special someone because you can only find that special someone once in a lifetime so once you do. Don't let her go. Do everything you can to be with that someone. Cos life is one narrow road, once you start you can never turn back, it's better than having to live your life full of regrets, this song really inspires people who are lonely. Telling them that you will eventually find that certain someone to always care for.

    Love is for the brave and faithful so marry only one and stay with her forever. If she's "your everything" or "the best thing that ever happened to you" then prove it by marrying her. This is the advice that the sweet guy singing this song to his future father-in-law is trying to follow. He's expressing his love for his only future wife through a hopefully convincing serenade.

    Marry your daughter means that one boy asks permission to the girl's father to marry her. It shows that the boy is willing to marry her and he is worthy of her because she was so special. It also shows that before the boy dies, he want to love someone and give all the best of him. It was a really sentimental and romantic song. I want that to play when my friend get married. I hope so. She was crushing on a boy not knowing the boy had a crush on her back. I was trying to get them back. I befriended the boy and tell him what a great person she is. If you tell me, I'm just 10 years old. But no one's too young or old to help the situation and bring them back together.

    I really do love this song. I've never felt so tired listening to it over and over. For me this song means that the guy is really in love with a girl and he even thought of courting her through a song that is perfect and can touch the deepest heart of anybody who hears it. It so romantic. I do9 hope that someday or one day someone would sing this song to me too for a marriage. Ghee it's too much. It's too sweet.

    Its about someone asking for permission to marry the daughter or it could be the 1st dance at the wedding. Marry your daughter is going to be my wedding song because it is the most beautiful song ever for someone that you have loved so long and you didn't know they were in love with you to and now our future is waiting for us to get married to this song for our first dance. Marry your daughter is a romantic song that it could be a girl or a boy mine is a girl and I am a girl and she changed the lyrics instead of oldest to youngest. This song can get you through the day or night if your missing that one person. Marry your daughter and a billion other songs are the best song for a wedding this song means true love. True love is in this song it makes at least me hopeful for happiness like everyone should I am happy and this song will change your life when you find the one listen to this song and let them listen to it and if the cry, smile, or laugh or whatever as long as it is not a bad reaction that's true love.

    The guy really respect the family of the girl. He will do everything to prove that he really love his daughter. I wish there is still someone who will do this. A commitment not just written in the paper nor in the hearts of those inlove but also to the hearts who witness their everlasting love. A pure love that will pass every trials and challenges of their lives. Nice song!

    I really like this song coz the bf is asking for the hand of her gf to her gf's father. The bf knows the true meaning of respect. Its not just that, but at the same time making vows to the father. And that's the most unforgetable moment that the girl would ever have while she is still single. How I wish I will experience that someday. Because I can't be with someone without my father's blessing. =)

    Marry your daughter is a song that should be remembered. When I heard this song for the first time, I felt like I was already crying-well, I was really crying.
    First thing that got into my head was imagining myself in the future and that guy that I really love will sing that song for me during the time he will propose and asks my father's permission.
    This song is just simply beautiful.

    I wish I could sing this song to my ex bestfriend's father. I fell in love with my ex bestfriend, I fell in love with his daughter. I know we cant be together 'cause I'm his daughter's girl buddy.

    But, we broke apart, were over now. She fucking left me and I still love her.
