last chance

When your daughter is young,

you watch over her so she won't get stung.

You gaze into her sweet baby face,

so full of love and beautiful grace;

a sugarplum fairy, she's extaordinary;

a Joan of Arc, down to the birthmark.

When she turns sweet sixteen,

you see into the eyes of a prom queen;

a change so dramatic,

it drives you psychosomatic;

you practice meditation,

but it's still a complication!

Then comes her own love story,

lovely like a morning glory;

arm in arm eith your baby girl,

who's dressed in white like an ocean pearl.

Step, step , step all the way down the aisle,

you look at her face and see her smile.

Years pass so quickly, next thing you know

you're watching your precious granddaughter grow.

"Good-nught, Grandpa," says your little Snow White;

with tears in your eyes, you're feeling all right
