A father won't give his daughter's hand in marriage. He's trying to persuade the father that it is serious - "this ain't no movie romance", and that he really loves the daughter and will take care of her.
The father has to realise that the daughter isn't a child any more - "she's a woman with love in her eyes".
If the father really loved her then he'd do what was right for her, not what he wanted to do - otherwise she'll rebel and he'll loose her altogether - "in the morning you will wake and she'll be gone".
Great song
I wonder how many times this has actually happened.
