John Fullbright - Song For a Child lyrics

(for the girls) Who’s that little face in the mirror With eyes so big and wide and shining blue? And with a little smile to see you clearer I see all the pretty things in you I am here to answer all your questions You’ll question every answer that you see But I will tell you without hesitation When you ask what you’ll grow up to be Little girls grow up to be their mommas That makes daddies love them even more But today you’ve got to make a promise You’ll be momma’s child forevermore (for the boys) Look up to the sky before your dreaming Before the moon kisses you goodnight Gaze up to the stars so brightly gleaming Pick out one to be your guiding light ‘Cause when you have a light that shines beside you You know you will never be alone I’ll be here awhile so I can guide you When you ask what you will be when You are all full grown… Little boys grow up to be their daddies That makes mamas love them even more And even though the world may treat you badly You’ll be daddy’s child forevermore You’ll remain a child forevermore
