My Little Gal
Seems like just yesterday
We played your favorite game,
Now, you’re starting a new life,
And taking another name.
As a little girl you slept sweetly,
Like you are now on my chair,
I’ll carry you to bed once again,
And put you with your teddy bear.
You grew up in a flash,
From diapers to college,
No more skinned knees
For me to tend with a bandage.
I tried to answer all your questions
Whether serious or silly,
You found your way out of childhood
And now, I can/'/t answer your questions as easily.
It’s hard to finally let go
Of the little gal, who’s been all mine;
I give you away, but holding on
To long memories in a short time.
You’ll start a new life soon,
But if you ever need an old pal,
I’ll always be your dad,
And you’ll always be my little gal.
