Dottie West - This Stranger (my Little Girl) lyrics

Today for her has only been thirteen years of livin' And for me it's been a wonderful thirteen years of givin' She grows taller every day and farther from my world God help me reach this stranger, my little girl Music, I can't understand replaced her nursery rhymes No longer can I even guess what's running through her mind Her long straight hair has forgotten ribbons and soft curls God, please protect this stranger, my little girl Can she hear the worried sound in her mom's conversation Can she see the anguish in my look of desperation Can she feel my love for her pulling against her world I love her so this stranger, my little girl Has she so soon forgotten how close we used to be And how when something troubled her, she'd always run to me But mom can't solve her problems, she keeps locked inside her world God, help me reach this stranger, my little girl
