My eyesight's getting dim
And my beard it needs a trim
You say it tickles when I kiss you
Your eyes are soft and brown
And you like to spin around
You're older now but you're still so cute

You've been my little girl for a few years now
You'll be my little girl for a few more to come
But someday soon no matter what I do
His girl you'll become

I watch you every year
And for each one shed a tear
Where did my baby girl run off to
Now Barbie's tucked away
Replaced by other things
That teenage girls are into

You've been my little girl for a few years now
You'll be my little girl for a few more to come
But someday soon no matter what I do
His girl you'll become

I turned around I was surprised
A woman had taken your place
I walked you down and said goodbye
And I tried to hide the tears on my face

Now I have gotten old
And the years gather like mold
My beard still needs a trim
And your kids come skipping by
And they laugh and they cry
And they run away when I try to kiss them

You've been my little girl for a few years now
You'll be my little girl for a few more to come
But someday soon no matter what I do
His girl you'll become
