Barbie Bandaids
|
|
Playdough rainbows and paper wings,
|
I remember all of your favorite things.
|
Like tea time with pooh bear, and Charlie Brown,
|
Barbie bandaids and princess gowns,
|
And here I am trying to hold the hands of time,
|
They're movin' so fast that I'm fallin' behind.
|
|
And I know, that you're ready to take a step,
|
But I'm not ready for that yet,
|
All I see is my little girl in tears and curls,
|
Watching you grow before my eyes,
|
Letting you go one Barbie bandaid at a time.
|
|
|
Bedtime stories of little bo peep,
|
Saying prayers for the little lost sheep,
|
Mama's lipstick and skinned up knees.
|
Secret crushes and diaries.
|
Your first date and your first goodnight kiss,
|
And I can't believe we're already to this.
|
|
And I know, that you're ready to take a step,
|
But I'm not ready for that yet.
|
All I see is my little girl in heels and pearls,
|
Watching you grown before my eyes,
|
Letting you go one Barbie bandaid at a time.
|
|
Something borrowed, something blue.
|
Oh but couldn't we have just a minute or two.
|
An hour or two, a year or two.
|
|
Oh, I know, that you're ready, it's really time,
|
To watch you spread your wings and fly,
|
Heaven knows I'm so proud of you,
|
But it hurts me too,
|
Seeing you grown before my eyes,
|
Letting you go one Barbie bandaid...... at a time.
