One day you'll be twenty one
Feels a world away from now
With dance routines and playing house
And that trick with your eyebrow
So much that you'll see and do
The ways you'll change with time.
Can't imagine that you'll ever could
Oh sweet, sweet child of mine.
One day you'll be leaving home.
It'll probably be too soon.
And we'll sit in a quieter house
With an empty red bedroom.
Not sure how I will cope with that.
Or if my heart can stand
The thought one day I won't have
The chance to hold your hand.
One day I will get dressed up
And walk you down the aisle
See you turn and lift your veil
To reveal that beautiful smile.
I know how proud I'm gonna feel
Although I'll hold back tears.
But I hope that you will make
Good choices through the years.
I wish you joyful, happy days.
I wish you peaceful nights.
I wish we didn't have to have
The inevitable fights.
But the sun will hide and sometimes
We'll have a cloudy day.
But I promise I'll do all I can
To blow them all away.
