Lyrics
AND THIS IS NOW
Tommy Carter - Copyright 1997, 2004
Verse1
InTampico close by the sea she was born.
A tiny lovely brown girl with dark eyes and black hair.
My little girl.
She was only four days old when I held her in my arms
the very first time Iwondered at her many charms.
I knew thatthis would be a life-time love.
My little girrl.
Chorus
That was then, and this is now.
In that time and place I loved her and I still do.
She and my love grew in other times and other places.
Verse 2
Watching her grow and change in so many ways that I
could see,
my love for her often brought tears to my eyesthat
this could be.
I watched her grow up onskates, bicycles and at last in a car.
Through Girl Scouts, high school, and college.
I could only watch her through her loves and tears.
My little girl. .
Repeat Chorus
