When she was a little child
And I was a little child
We were just little kids
We used to play together
But it wasn't long before
We weren't little anymore
I saw the little girl I knew
Vanish like the morning dew
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Across her lips and dyed hair
Chocolate chips and everywhere she goes
She takes her shadow and a woman alone
Many straight a string of beads
And view a shape some flower seeds
And at her heels puppy dog
Contrent to be a taggin' along
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Everybody used to say
Somewhere along the way
To me someday you'll marry her
To her you'll marry someday
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Now the day has come and gone
All is right and nothing's wrong
It seems just yesterday
I heard someone say
When she was a little child
And he was a little child
They were just little kids
They used to play together
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da.
