Well if you've got a little girl, you better take the time   To go to her tea parties and give her a piggyback ride   And be a dragon or a dinosaur every chance you get   'Cause one day you can bet      She'll go on you before you turn can around   And it's so lonley watchin' that fast train leaving town   Better cherish her every second of your life   'Cause this preacious little thing that we call time   She'll go on you      If you got a special one you better love her everyday   Leave her notes on the fridgerater door and send her sweet bouquets   Always be her confidant, a safe place for her to rest   Or that little thing you call, your happiness      She'll go on you before you turn around   And it's so lonley watchin' that fast train leaving town   Better cherish her every second of your life   And take her in your arms and do her right   She'll go on you      If you've got you momma there you outta thank her everyday   For nursin' all your colds and sittin' up when you'd stay out late   Now all her hair is gray, and every year she's not as strong   One of these days before too long      She'll go on you before you turn around   And it's so lonley watchin' that fast train leaving town   Better cherish her every second of your life   'Cause before you get the chance to goodbye   She'll go on you   Yeah, this preacious little thing that we call life   She'll go on you, yeah, she will
