Little girl of mine,
You've taught me so much;
Of love and of life,
And a little one's touch.

You are so innocent,
Life hasn't crushed your dreams;
A whole world is for your view,
All is exciting it seems.

Little girl of mine,
Teach me of God;
Your childish faith,
Accepts Him with a nod.

You will grow so quickly,
And very soon, I fear;
You'll challenge the world,
You won't be so near.

Little girl of mine,
Before you search for the moon;
Spend time with me,
You will leave me too soon.

Show me the flowers
The frogs and the bugs;
Then I can look back,
And remember your hugs.

Little girl of mine,
A lady you will be;
And my pride will show,
Just you wait and see.
