From a Father
From a father
It's time to rest your big girl head
To snuggle in your big girl bed
And gently close those big girl eyes
Dream dreams of big girl butterflies
And flappy bears and dinosaurs
Who scamper scared at big girl roars
Of pirate ships on golden shores
With waves that crash like big girl snores
I watch my big girl lying there
And stroke your curly big girl hair
This tiny, softly breathing ball
Not such a big girl after all
And though one day my little lady
You'll grow up fast and even maybe
Have a big girl of your own
You'll still forever be my baby.
