Lyrics
When Children Grow Up
Where did that little girl go
Who sat in the great big chair?
I used to carry you on my shoulders everywhere
The days rolled slowly by
And now I want to cry
Where did that little girl go?
Where did that little girl go?
Where did that little boy go
Who laughed at everything?
I used to push you up so high in the backyard swing
The years rolled slowly by
And now I have to sigh
Where did that little boy go?
Where did that little boy go?
When children grow up
That's just the way life has to be
One day they turn around and say...
Daddy please don't carry me
Daddy please don't push me
But I always will need love
Children always need love
