[Verse 1] If youve got a little girl, you better take the time To go to her tea parties and give her a piggyback ride Be a dragon or a dinosaur every chance you get Cause one day you can bet [Chorus] Shell go on you Before you turn can around And its so lonely watching that Fast train leaving town Better cherish her every second of your life Cause this precious little thing that we call time Shell go on you [Verse 2] If you got a special one You better love her everyday Leave her notes on the fridge rather door And send her sweet bouquets Always be her confidant A safe place for her to rest Or that little thing you call you happiness [Chorus] [Verse 3] If youve got you momma there You outta thank her every day For nursing all your colds and Sitting up when youd stay out late Now all her hair is grey, and every year shes not as strong One of these days before to long [Chorus] [Outro] Yeah this precious little thing that we call life Shell go on you
