» Ten

I remember those very first steps
In front of that old tv set
You were wearing your princess dress
Man those days were the best

Before I knew it you were starting school
You had your backpack pig tails too
Sight of you was so darn cute
I was so proud of you

Remember how we joked when you were just nine
I said you can't date boys till your forty five
He better have you home by a quarter till nine
On the very first date
Spent hours in your room playing make believe
With your Breyer horses and day dreamed
You said daddy can I have a pony of my own
Years flew by you have grown
Sometimes I wish time would slow
So ten would never end

You'll always be ten to me
Even as we walk down that isle
I'll hand you to your husband to be
But I'll still see that little girl smile

Someday you'll have children of your own
In time they'll grow up and leave home
You'll look back and you'll see
Just what you mean to me

Remember how we joked when you were just nine
I said you can't date boys till your forty five
He better have you home by a quarter till nine
On the very first date
Spent hours in your room playing make believe
With your Breyer horses and day dreamed
You said daddy can I have a pony of my own
Years flew by you have grown
Sometimes I wish time would slow
So ten would never end

As you grow up and face this life
Just know I'm right by your side
Just call say when
I'll get your back to the very end

After I say my final good bye
I'll wait for you on the other side
Wished I filled all your dreams
Cause when you smile, it means everything to me

Remember how we joked when you were just nine
I said you can't date boys till your forty five
He better have you home by a quarter till nine
On the very first date
Spent hours in your room playing make believe
With your Breyer horses and day dreamed
You said daddy can I have a pony of my own
Years flew by you have grown
Sometimes I wish time would slow
So ten would never end
I wish ten would never end
Wish ten would never end
Wish ten would never end
Wish ten would never end
