Ten

I remember those very first steps In front of that old tv set You were wearing your princess dress Man those days were the best Before I knew it you were starting school You had your backpack pig tails too Sight of you was so darn cute I was so proud of you Remember how we joked when you were just nine I said you can't date boys till your forty five He better have you home by a quarter till nine On the very first date Spent hours in your room playing make believe With your Breyer horses and day dreamed You said daddy can I have a pony of my own Years flew by you have grown Sometimes I wish time would slow So ten would never end You'll always be ten to me Even as we walk down that isle I'll hand you to your husband to be But I'll still see that little girl smile Someday you'll have children of your own In time they'll grow up and leave home You'll look back and you'll see Just what you mean to me Remember how we joked when you were just nine I said you can't date boys till your forty five He better have you home by a quarter till nine On the very first date Spent hours in your room playing make believe With your Breyer horses and day dreamed You said daddy can I have a pony of my own Years flew by you have grown Sometimes I wish time would slow So ten would never end As you grow up and face this life Just know I'm right by your side Just call say when I'll get your back to the very end After I say my final good bye I'll wait for you on the other side Wished I filled all your dreams Cause when you smile, it means everything to me Remember how we joked when you were just nine I said you can't date boys till your forty five He better have you home by a quarter till nine On the very first date Spent hours in your room playing make believe With your Breyer horses and day dreamed You said daddy can I have a pony of my own Years flew by you have grown Sometimes I wish time would slow So ten would never end I wish ten would never end Wish ten would never end Wish ten would never end Wish ten would never end
