Lyrics
Daddy woke me up early this morning
Sunshine casts its shadow on the wall
I grabbed my shoes and ran right up to mamma,
Said tie my shoes, it?s the day I choose
To walk instead of crawl
Seems the day is going by so quickly
Before I knew the nighttime starts to fall
But I don?t want to lay down for the evening
Tell my Daddy, I?m not ready
I have more dreams and just beginning it all
CHORUS
Lord it?s too soon to turn out the light
I say a prayer and hope you stop the night
Wanna make cookies with my grandma
Wanna go fishin? with my grandpa
So heaven, make sure you hear me right
It?s much too soon to turn out the light
I see my Mom and Daddy smiling at me
And dreamin? of a future oh so bright
Seein? my first football game
Or even drivin? them insane
With the girl next door on our prom night . . .
See it?s much too soon to turn out the light.
CHORUS
Lord it?s too soon to turn out the light
I say a prayer and hope you stop the night
Wanna make cookies with my grandma
Wanna go fishin? with my grandpa
So heaven, make sure you hear me right
It?s much too soon to turn out the light
But when the night comes I'll not worry
I know the lord is watching over me
As Mom and Daddy hold me tight
I hear God?s voice in all his might
Or maybe it?s the prayers said for my plight
(Short pause and slowly finish with)
And He said son don?t you worry
In all His holy glory
It?s much too soon to turn out the light
CHORUS
Lord it?s too soon to turn out the light
I say a prayer and hope you stop the night
Wanna make cookies with my grandma
Wanna go fishin? with my grandpa
So heaven, make sure you hear me right
It?s much too soon to turn out the light
It?s much too soon to turn out the light (repeat to fade)
