Red Robin - Clark Richard

She is just a baby

She’s my little girl

She looks like her mommy

Sporting little curls

She’s got lots to learn

Though she is sure to know

That I’ll quietly spot her

Anywhere she goes

Now our little lady’s out with daddy for the day

She fought the yawns but couldn’t stay awake

As I place her in the car

She’s out like a light

Cause she knows I’ll get her home all right

She went from the backseat

To hands at ten and two

College came too quickly

Her leaving feels too soon

Now I swore I’d be strong but

These are happy tears

Cause I get even prouder

With every passing year

Now her weekends will be full of hanging with her friends

But someone needs a call before nights end

She knows I’ll toss and turn

No chance I’ll sleep tonight

Til I know she’s made it home all right

If time could only give me

A moment to reflect

To smile on all that has been

To treasure what is left

Though I won’t always be here

This you surely know

That I’ll quietly spot you

Anywhere you go

And when we are apart remember it is not the end

You know enough to know we’ll meet again

I’ll be waiting by the gate

Standing just inside

Til I know you’ve made it home all right

Til I know you’ve made it home all right

Let’s go home
