From birth to five, you're learning   From five to ten, you're playing   By the time you're fifteen, you're never wrong   But then you turn around and it's all gone, your childhood      Now daddy knows what he's saying   You're in my arms and I'm praying   That I'll be given the strength and time   To make yours just as happy as mine, your childhood      Every morning, your crying ends my sleep   I kid on, I'm angry, but it's not a feeling I can keep   There's no light outside, I don't care 'cos I know it's true   That in our house the sun shines out of you      You've got your mother's looks, you're a beautiful little girl   You'll break boys hearts all over this world   Then one day you'll walk out the door   And I know you'll break mine, you'll break mine      From birth to five, you're learning   From five to ten, you're playing   By the time you're fifteen, you're never wrong   But then you turn around and it's all gone, your childhood      So you're trying to talk, any day now you'll walk   You'll be running around, make me act like a clown   'Cos I live and I breathe for my little girl, our little girl   The most important thing is this whole wide world      Now daddy knows what he's saying   You're in my arms and I'm praying   That I'll be given the strength an time   To make yours just as happy as mine, your childhood
