She'll Go On You

Well if you've got a little girl,
you better take the time
To go to her tea parties

and give her a piggyback ride
And be a dragon
or a dinosaur every chance you get

'Cause one day you can bet

She'll go on you before you turn can around
And it's so lonley watchin'
that fast train leaving town
Better cherish her every second of your life
'Cause this preacious little thing that we call time
She'll go on you

If you got a special one you better
love her everyday
Leave her notes on the fridgerater door

and send her sweet bouquets
Always be her confidant, a safe place
for her to rest

Or that little thing you call, your happiness
She'll go on you before you turn around
And it's so lonley watchin'
that fast train leaving town
Better cherish her every second of your life
And take her in your arms and do her right
She'll go on you

If you've got you momma
there you outta thank her everyday
For nursin' all your colds and sittin' up
when you'd stay out late
Now all her hair is gray,

and every year she's not as strong

One of these days before too long

She'll go on you before you turn around
And it's so lonley watchin'
that fast train leaving town

Better cherish her every second of your life

'Cause before you get the chance to say goodbye

She'll go on you

Yeah, this preacious little thing that we call life
She'll go on you, yeah, she will
