The Daughter in Me

Holding hands to cross the street

Feel the sand under my feet

The way you twirl me, like a cotton candy man

I feel so girly as you wind each curly strand

 

When I'm growing up too fast

And the world demands a lady

You remind me of my past,

Though it often might evade me

 

Summer days and autumn leaves

Wading through the endless trees

The way you hold me when I just can't sleep at night

I lay there coldly as you slowly soothe my mind

 

 

After all is said and done,

So thankful you're the one

To bring back the daughter in me
