Lyrics

She Won't Be Here For Long
David Pellegrini ©2017

WHEN HER DADDY WALKED IN THE ROOM
SHE WAS STRUMING THAT LITTLE GUITAR
SHE SMILED AND LOOKED UP AT HIS FACE
BUT HER DADDY COULDN'T SEE THAT FAR
CRYING OUT WITH A BROKEN HEART
HER EYES WERE FILLED WITH TEARS
SHE WANTED HER DADDY TO HEAR HER SONGS
AND KNOW THAT SHE WAS THERE

Chorus
You Know SHE WON'T BE HERE FOR LONG
THE YEARS GO BY SO FAST
SHE PLAY'S HER GAMES AND SINGs HER SONGS
AS TODAY BECOMES THE PAST
YOU KNOW, SHE WON'T BE HERE FOR LONG
THE DAYS THEY NEVER LAST,
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, SHE'S ALL GROWN UP
AND the TIME HAS COME AND PASSED


Bridge
SHE LIES IN HIS BED, LATE AT NIGHT
LOOKING OUT Her WINDOW AT THE SKY
SHE PRAYS DEAR LORD LET DADDY KNOW
THAT I WANT TO BE by HIS SIDE
She LOOKs AT HIM AND HEARs HIS VOICE,
She says HIS EYES , THEY LOOK LIKE MINE
DADDY WORKS REAL HARD AT HIS JOB,
BUT HE NEVER HAS SOME TIME

You Know SHE WON'T BE HERE FOR LONG
THE YEARS GO BY SO FAST
SHE PLAYs HER GAMES AND SING HER SONGS
AS TODAY BECOMES THE PAST
YOU KNOW, SHE WON'T BE HERE FOR LONG
THE DAYS THEY NEVER LAST,
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, SHE'S ALL GROWN UP
AND the TIME HAS COME AND PASSED


You Know SHE WON'T BE HERE FOR LONG
THE YEARS GO BY SO FAST
SHE PLAYs HER GAMES AND SING HER SONGS
AS TODAY BECOMES THE PAST
YOU KNOW, SHE WON'T BE HERE FOR LONG
THE DAYS THEY NEVER LAST,
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, SHE'S ALL GROWN UP
AND the TIME HAS COME AND PASSED


WHEN Her DADDY WALKED IN THE ROOM
SHE WAS STRUMING THAT LITTLE GUITAR
SHE SMILED AND LOOKED UP AT HIS FACE
BUT Her DADDY COULDN'T SEE THAT FAR.
