| The men in my little girl’s life;
|
| The men in my little girl’s life.
|
| Seems only yesterday, I heard my daughter say:
|
| «Daddy! |
| There’s a boy outside — his name is Rod.
|
| He wants to play in our back yard.
|
| Can he Daddy? |
| Can he Daddy? |
| Please — Daddy.»
|
| There wasn’t so long ago
|
| She came to me and she wanted to know:
|
| «Daddy! |
| There’s a boy outside — his name is Lee.
|
| He wants to carry my books for me Can he Daddy? |
| Is it all right — Daddy?
|
| He’s got freckles, Dad.»
|
| Then came pony tails and jeans
|
| My little girl was in her teens:
|
| «Papa! |
| There’s a boy outside — his name’s Tom.
|
| He wants to take me to the prom. |
| Ok Papa?
|
| He’s cute Papa! |
| We’ll be home early — Papa.»
|
| Well, before I knew it, time had gone
|
| My, how my little girl had grown: Then it was:
|
| «Uh! |
| Father! |
| There’s a boy outside — his name is Eddie
|
| He wants to know if we can go steady?
|
| Can we Father? |
| Yes Father?
|
| Oh! |
| can we borrow the car Pop?»
|
| Yes, it seems like only yesterday
|
| I heard my lovely daughter say:
|
| «Dad! |
| There’s a boy outside — his name is Jim. |
| He asked me if I’d marry him?
|
| I said yes, Dad! |
| — Got something in your eye — Dad?
|
| I love him Dad.»
|
| A child, an adolescent, a young lady, a wife
|
| Oh! |
| and oh yes, Heh! |
| Heh!
|
| There’s another man in my little girl’s life
|
| «Hi Dad! |
| There’s a boy outside — his name is Tim.
|
| I told him Grandpa was gonna baby sit with him.
|
| Thanks Dad. |

| Goodnight Dad.» |
