summer days and amazing grace


summer days and amazing grace

baseball cards and i work too hards

oh boy

it used to be babydolls and dress up clothes 

then it was preschool jitters and first best friends

oh my 

how time flies

she turns ten years old and your hair is turning gray

she can ride a bike and dress herself

oh man 

ut used to be birthday parties and long playdates

 now its malls and boys and dark makeup

oh  my 

how time does flie

eighteen years she's going to prom

 eighteen years has come and gone

it used to be bad attitudes and skippin school

now its first dates and graduation

oh boy

it's flyin by

now its summer days and amazing grace 

in the blink of an eye time flies by and you're sayin goodbye

summer days and amazing grace
