She'll go on you

If you've got a little girl, you'd better take the time
To go to her tea parties and give her a piggy back ride
Be a dragon or a dinosaur every chance you get
'Cause one day you can bet

She'll go on you
Before you can turn around
And it's so lonely watchin' that
Fast train leavin' town
Better cherish her every second of your life
'Cause this precious little thing that we call time
She'll go on you

Well, if you've got a special one
You'd better love her everyday
Leave her notes on the 'frigerator door
And send her sweet bouquets
Always be her confidant
A safe place for her to rest
Or that little thing you call your happiness

She'll go on you
Before you can turn around
And it's so lonely watchin' that
Fast train leavin' town
Better cherish her every second of your life
'Cause this precious little thing that we call time
She'll go on you

Well, if you've got your mama there
You oughta thank her everyday
For nursin' all your colds and
Sittin' up when you'd stay out late
Now all her hair is grey, and every year she's not as strong
One of these days before too long

She'll go on you
Before you can turn around
And it's so lonely watchin' that
Fast train leavin' town
Better cherish her every second of your life
'Cause this precious little thing that we call time
She'll go on you

Yeah, this precious little thing that we call life
She'll go one you
Yes, she will
