Where did all the time go?
Today you can be my flower and tomorrow be my song,
Next year will come too quickly
though now it seems so long.
I remember when you’d get a book
and have me read aloud,
I remember when I’d pick you up
to see beyond the crowd.
I remember when you hugged me tight,
and when you held my hand,
just a tiny little miracle
walking on this land.
I remember going on the slide. . .
you made me tag along,
Now you can go, all alone. . .
how did you get so strong?
I watch you grow before my eyes,
and I cannot believe,
you were once so tiny and so scared,
tugging at my sleeve.
For now you seem so all grown up
and it’s hard to let you go.
Cause once you were my little one
who was young and didn’t know,
but now you know most everything
and who ever would’ve thought,
that you’d remember all those things. . .
those things that I had taught.
