From the time I was a teen…I thought about…I dreamed
that someday there would be…a little girl in my life
the years would pass…sons would be born…giving me happiness and joy
and yet I wondered…what it would be like to have…a little girl in my life
the sons became men…they married…grandsons were born
I wondered if there would ever be…a little girl in my life
then came the phone call…from far, far away
that she was finally on her way…and soon there would be
a little girl in my life.
while I may never hold this baby…or feel her soft newborn freshness
against my cheek…I will know that she is finally here
a little girl in my life
I will be the face on a screen…or a box in the mail
but she will be…finally…a little girl in my life
