Lyrics
Verse 1 The 1st time I saw your face was in 1984
My heart grew so much that day as it let you through the door
My precious girl you filled my world, you mean so much to me
I knew that there would come a time I would have to set you free.
Chorus You started out incredible, now you?re 100 times better than that
I remember how cute you looked in you little baseball hat
You?re a woman now of 18 years, I couldn?t ask for anything more
I heard the angels sing your name that day, in 1984.
Verse 2 Like every kid you skinned your knee, you even cut your chin
You?d cry to Mom, she?d hold you tight, then you?d go play again
Your brother & you got along so well, you laughed and you played
I?ve been so blessed I thank the Lord, I thank Him for those days.
Chorus
Bridge You?ll be leavin soon, you?re movin away, my eyes start to tear
My little girl will be far away but in my heart you?re near
Your adventure starts take care of yourself, it?s time to set you free
Just close your eyes and in your heart, you?ll see Mom and me.
Chorus
