If you've got a little girl, you better take the time

To go to her tea parties and give her a piggyback ride

Be a dragon or a dinosaur every chance you get

Cause one day you can bet



She'll go on you

Before you turn can around

And it's so lonley watchin' that

Fast train leavin' town

Better cherish her every second of your life

Cause this preacious little thing that we call time

She'll go on you



If you got a special one

You better love her everyday

Leave her notes on the fridgerater door

And send her sweet bouquets

Always be her confidant

A safe place for her to rest

Or that little thing you call you happiness



She'll go on you

Before you turn around

And it's so lonley watchin' that

Fast train leavin' town

Better cherish her every second of your life

Take her in your arms and do her right

She'll go on you



If you've got you momma there

You outta thank her everyday

For nursin' all your colds and

Sittin' up when you'd stay out late

Now all her hair is grey, and every year she's not as strong

One of these days before to long



She'll go on you

Before you turn around

And it's so lonley watchin' that

Fast train leavin' town

Better cherish her every second of your life

Cause before you get the chance to goodbye

She'll go on you



Yeah this preacious little thing that we call life

She'll go on you
