Song For A Child

(For the girls)

Who’s that little face in the mirror

With eyes so big and wide and shining blue?

And with a little smile to see you clearer

I see all the pretty things in you

I am here to answer all your questions

You’ll question every answer that you see

But I will tell you without hesitation

When you ask what you’ll grow up to be

Little girls grow up to be their mommas

That makes daddies love them even more

But today you’ve got to make a promise

You’ll be momma’s child forevermore.

(For the boys)

Look up to the sky before your dreaming

Before the moon kisses you goodnight

Gaze up to the stars so brightly gleaming

Pick out one to be your guiding light

‘Cause when you have a light that shines beside you

You know you will never be alone

I’ll be here awhile so I can guide you

When you ask what you will be when

You are all full grown…

Little boys grow up to be their daddies

That makes mamas love them even more

And even though the world may treat you badly

You’ll be daddy’s child forevermore

You’ll remain a child forevermore.
