Little Girl
You didn't have a care
In the world
When you
were a little girl
The worst thing that
could happen to you
Was tripping over
your shoe
When I look at you
All I see
Is the innocent little girl
I used to be
The little child that didn't
Have anything to worry about
A little girl who didn't
Have any doubt
Mommy and Daddy
took care of it all
Even when you
Had a little fall
Mommy would kiss
your boo-boo
I'm so glad that
You didn't have a clue
The world is much
More scary than you think
Just please promise
Me you won't blink
Stay so innocent
And true
Promise me you will
Stay you
Don't grow up too
Fast
Because then today soon
Will become the past
Stay a little girl
for today
Tomorrow is
on its way
