I've tried my best to make you right
I know I sometimes hold too tight
I know I sometimes fail you too
I make mistakes it's what I do
Chorus
What will you grow to be sweetest of girls?
What will there be left for you of the world?
How will you cope with it all without me?
Where will you go to and who will you be?
A little girl, a sleepy face
Our very own bit of the human race
So important and yet so slight
I spin you happy dreams each night
Chorus
Some days a horror, some days a joy
I wanted you, never wanted a boy
You'll grow beyond the simple things
You'll want them back, the slides and swings
Chorus
You learn your own way and that's OK
You get a little bolder every day
I watch and wish I was bolder too
But older and wiser might just have to do
