Watch Them Grow

She's close to God, I'm sure of that
 She sits him down, and they have a chat
 She asks for sunshine, and he agrees
 You see, for her, He'd do anything
 You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
 She is a monkey, and I'm her tree
 And now she's climbing all over me
 Swinging on my vines dancing on my limbs
 Her monkey sounds sound like angel's hymns
 You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
 You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
 She is an angel, she is an imp
 She's got my big toe, and her mother's lips
 She gives fishy kisses, and great big bear hugs
 42 pounds of pure love
 Then one day she'll be 17, feelin' too big for her home
 Seems she was just only 3, oh how our children they grow
 You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
 You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
 You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
 You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
 Then one day she'll be 33, maybe with a child of her own
 Seems she was just 17, oh how our children they grow
 He'll ask for sunshine, and she'll agree
 You see for him, she'd do anything
 He is her child, the center of her world
 She is his mother... my little girl
 You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
 You watch them grow, then you let 'em go
