>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
