Well if you've got a little girl, you better take the time
To go to her tea parties and give her a piggyback ride
And be a dragon or a dinosaur every chance you get
'Cause one day you can betShe'll go on you before you turn can around
And it's so lonley watchin' that fast train leaving town
Better cherish her every second of your life
'Cause this preacious little thing that we call time
She'll go on youIf you got a special one you better love her everyday
Leave her notes on the fridgerater door and send her sweet bouquets
Always be her confidant, a safe place for her to rest
Or that little thing you call, your happinessShe'll go on you before you turn around
And it's so lonley watchin' that fast train leaving town
Better cherish her every second of your life
And take her in your arms and do her right
She'll go on youIf you've got you momma there you outta thank her everyday
For nursin' all your colds and sittin' up when you'd stay out late
Now all her hair is gray, and every year she's not as strong
One of these days before too longShe'll go on you before you turn around
And it's so lonley watchin' that fast train leaving town
Better cherish her every second of your life
'Cause before you get the chance to goodbye
She'll go on you
Yeah, this preacious little thing that we call life
She'll go on you, yeah, she will
