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
