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
