CHORUS

>From birth to five you're learning

>From five to 10 you're playing

By the time you're 15

You're never wrong

But then you turn around

And it's all gone, your childhood



Now Daddy knows what he's saying

You're in my arms and I'm praying

That I'll be given the strength and time

To make yours just as happy as mine

Your childhood



Every morning

Your crying ends my sleep

I kid on I'm angry

But it's not a feeling I can keep

There's no light outside

I don't care 'cause I know it's true

That in our house

The sun shines out of you

You've got your mother's looks

You're a beautiful little girl

You'll break boys' hearts

All over this world

Then one day you'll walk out the door

And I know you'll break mine

You'll break mine



CHORUS



So you're trying to talk

Any day now you'll walk

You'll be running around

Make me act like a clown

'Cause I live and I breathe

For my little girl

Ouor little girl

The most important thing in this whole wide world

Now Daddy knows what he's saying

You're in my arms and I'm praying

That I'll be given the strength and time

To make yours just as happy as mine

Your childhood
