Today for her has only been thirteen years of livin'
|
And for me it's been a wonderful thirteen years of givin'
|
She grows taller every day and farther from my world
|
God help me reach this stranger my little girl
|
Music I can't understand replaced her nursery rhymes
|
No longer can I even guess what's running through her mind
|
Her long straight hair has forgotten ribbons and soft curles
|
God please protect this stranger my little girl
|
Can she hear the worried sound in her mom's conversation
|
Can she see the anguish in my look of desperation
|
Can she feel my love for her pulling against her world
|
I love her so this stranger my little girl
|
Has she so soon forgotten how close we used to be
|
And how when something troubled her she'd always run to me
|
But mom can't solve her problems she keeps locked inside her world
|
God help me reach this stranger my little girl
|
