She's, barely one week
Taking on sleep, staying up through the night
Soon, she'll be eighteen
Getting ready to leave us, and learning to drive

Oh, I love to watch you grow
But I hate to see you go
It kills me but I know

That this is the start of
A beautiful life
All of these years go
In the blink of an eye
One day you're her comfort
And holding her tight
The next moment you're dancing together
Kissing your daughter goodbye

She'll turn twenty-three
And get her degree in whatever she likes
And she'll eventually meet
Someone she knows is the love of her life

And oh I love to watch you grow
But I hate to see you go
It kills me but I know

That this is the start of
A beautiful life
All of these years go
In the blink of an eye
One day you're her comfort
And holding her tight
The next moment you're dancing together
Kissing your daughter goodbye
