His Picture In Your Eyes © Copyright George Papavgeris, September 2001 A father’s goodbye to his daughter’s childhood Little girl, you are growing And I am so afraid. You're speeding as I'm slowing, and You'll soon be miles ahead. Little girl wait a minute And give me one more chance. Just come and sit beside me And let me hold your hands. What did you do with your dolls? Where is your box of toys? Where did you learn to dress so And speak free with the boys? Where is the puppy fat gone? Where are the dimples now? You still will give me cuddles, but They seem too short somehow. Seems it was only last year When we walked down the street Three little steps to my one, A blur of little feet. I'd carry you on my shoulders Again, if only I could. I'd smother you with kisses But I'm not sure I should. You're only sixteen years old Still haven't finished school. How can you look so grown up And make me feel a fool? I should have given up work. I should have stayed at home. I should have spent more time with you But now my chance is blown. CHORUS For when you are together Your love you can't disguise Heart lighter than a feather His picture in your eyes. |
