The Day That Barney Died
Whatever happened to my little girl
She was the princess I was the king
I'd be whatever she wanted me to
Just for the smiles it would bring
The tea parties were always her favorite
She made the best tea around
You better believe when it wasn't
I would never made a sound
She just loved to play hide and seek
Of course she would always win
We would play that game for hours
It seemed like it would never end
And how many monsters have I killed
That were hiding under her bed
Or tucked her in to sleep at night
As I kissed her on her head
And all those bedtime stories
Her excitement would show in her grin
She always wanted, just one more
As soon as the story would end
I'd get her ready for school each day
And make sure I packed her lunch
She'd aways smile and wave goodbye
And say, "Daddy I love you a bunch"
Then one day I said, "Barney is on"
She said, "I don't watch that anymore"
That was the day, I knew she out grew
That purple dinosaur
It wasn't quite the same after that
And even though I tried
The tea parties had ended forever
The day that Barney died
