it's only been 13 years of livin'
And for me it's been a wonderful
She grows taller every day
and farther from my world.
God help me reach this stranger.
Replaced her nursery rhymes
No longer can I even guess
What's running through her mind
has forgotten ribbons and soft curls
God please protect this stranger,
Can she hear the worried sound
in her mom's conversation?
in my look of desperation?
Can she feel my love for her,
pulling against her world?
I love her so, this stranger, my little girl.
As she's so soon forgotten,
just how close we used to be.
And how when something troubled her,
But mom can't solve her problems.
She keeps locked inside her world
God help me reach this stranger,
Can she hear the worried sound
in her mom's conversation
in my look of desperation?
Can she feel my love for her
pulling against her world?
I love her so, this stranger, my little girl.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
