Watch Them Grow

She's close to God, I'm sure of that

She sits him down, and they have a chat

She asks for sunshine, and he agrees

You see, for her, he'd do anything

You watch them grow, then you let 'em go

She is a monkey, and I'm her tree

And now she's climbing all over me

Swinging on my vines dancing on my limbs

Her monkey sounds sound like angel's hymns

You watch them grow, then you let 'em go

You watch them grow, then you let 'em go

She is an angel, she is an imp

She's got my big toe, and her mother's lips

She gives fishy kisses, and great big bear hugs

42 Pounds of pure love

Then one day she'll be 17, feelin' too big for her home

Seems she was just only 3, oh how our children they grow

You watch them grow, then you let 'em go

You watch them grow, then you let 'em go

You watch them grow, then you let 'em go

You watch them grow, then you let 'em go

Then one day she'll be 33, maybe with a child of her own

Seems she was just 17, oh how our children they grow

He'll ask for sunshine, and she'll agree

You see for him, she'd do anything

He is her child, the center of her world

She is his mother, my little girl

You watch them grow, then you let 'em go

You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
