Bye Bye Baby

Although I knew this day would come And I'm sure I'm not the only one I couldn't help but feel a little sad A kiss upon her peachy cheek and One last squeeze of her tiny hand To let her go so soon, I must be mad But off she goes, no backwards glance I never even got the chance To tell her I will be right here, I'll wait. Then suddenly I'm stood alone Nowt to do but trot on home ....or maybe I can hide at the school gate So what now? What next? Selfishly I wonder what's in store for me These hours begin to feel just like a sentence I guess I'll have to do my time Repent for my parental crime Now where the hell did I stash my independence.
