So what has it been
A short while
A long while
While all the while you have been growing
like a bud turning into a flower
like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly
like a rose blooming on a bright summer day
While all the while you remain a little girl inside
you let the child out from time to time
to let it play in the hearts of people
and in there mind your smiling face outshines
While all the while you are beginning to bloom
a little girl turning into a woman
bright and out shinning above the rest
While all the while you search for someone
anyone to call you "my little girl"
so that the child can come out and play
But oh the day has come and all I see
is but a shining smile of the little girl
the true you that will all ways bee there
So what has it been
A short while
A long while
But the little girl remains
