Lyrics:

Playdough rainbows and paper wings,
I remember all of your favorite things.
Like tea time with pooh bear, and Charlie Brown,
Barbie bandaids and princess gowns,
And here I am trying to hold the hands of time,
They're movin' so fast that I'm fallin' behind.

And I know, that you're ready to take a step,
But I'm not ready for that yet,
All I see is my little girl in tears and curls,
Watching you grow before my eyes,
Letting you go one Barbie bandaid at a time.


Bedtime stories of little bo peep,
Saying prayers for the little lost sheep,
Mama's lipstick and skinned up knees.
Secret crushes and diaries.
Your first date and your first goodnight kiss,
And I can't believe we're already to this.

And I know, that you're ready to take a step,
But I'm not ready for that yet.
All I see is my little girl in heels and pearls,
Watching you grown before my eyes,
Letting you go one Barbie bandaid at a time.

Something borrowed, something blue.
Oh but couldn't we have just a minute or two.
An hour or two, a year or two.

Oh, I know, that you're ready, it's really time,
To watch you spread your wings and fly,
Heaven knows I'm so proud of you,
But it hurts me too,
Seeing you grown before my eyes,
Letting you go one Barbie bandaid...... at a time.
