The Day My Daughters Grow Up

Yesterday I could see their births as if it was just Yesterday A time when all I knew was love Yesterday I’d no thought for tomorrow, just the day Yesterday How they changed the world in every way Yesterday Little smiles How they melted this man, their father’s heart Little girls How they instantly became a needed part Little hands That held tightly to the palm of mine Little babies How they’ll always be this man’s sunshine Little girls But when they grow up I’ll be so sad… My world will then lose the babies I had… I’ll have just the memories of their touch… The day my daughters… grow up… Maybe They’ll never fall in love with any boy Maybe But, then they’ll never learn of all that joy Maybe They’ll wait until they reach old forty two Maybe But, that’s a dream that won’t come true Maybe But when they grow up I’ll be so sad… My world will then lose the babies we had… I’ll have just the memories of their touch… The day my daughters… grow up… One day I will walk them down the aisle They’ll look at me with that little girl smile I’ll do everything to hold back the tears Forced by the memories of all their years The day my daughters… grow up… One day When I am old and they come to visit me One day I’ll still see them as kids, though with families One day Despite age, they’ll always be my little girls One day Is every day that I’m alive in this world One day The day my daughters… grow up… Is the day, I’ll grow up…too
