Lyrics
LITTLE GIRLS
(Dwain C. Hathaway)
© 2005 D.C. Hathaway Music
I always thought I?d be a Dad
with little boys but then we had little girls, little girls.
Little boys weren?t in God?s plan
but I?m still a Dad and a happy man with girls, little girls.
1st CHORUS
I?ve traded thoughts of G.I. Joes for Barbie dolls and Barbie clothes;
Little League and baseball bats for ballet shoes and Easter hats;
But some things in this world I wouldn?t trade
like the little girls that you and I have made.
Everyday I realize when I look into the eyes of girls, little girls;
this is how it was meant to be. I thank the Lord for giving me little girls, little girls.
(1st CHORUS)(SOLO)
BRIDGE:
A little boy would come along. That?s what I thought but I was wrong.
It?s up to God and God alone how I?ll be blessed like I?ve never known.
Today I walk them down the aisle on their wedding day with quite a smile, my girls, little girls.
They?re lovely ladies I can see but to me they?ll always be little girls, little girls.
2nd CHORUS:
I?ve traded thoughts of a tux and tie for wedding gowns and brides that cry;
what might have been a groom today for garters, lipstick, tossed bouquets.
But some things in this world I wouldn?t trade
like the little girls that you and I have made.
