LYRIC FOR SALE

By Alysia Henderson

verse one:
A daughter’s first hero
Is her father’s face
The first love she knows of
Is her mama’s grace

And her first nightmare
She runs to her parent’s room
She snuggles up beside them
To escape the doom

And she doesn’t know
One day she’ll grow up
And want to come home

But then it will be
To late
She’ll take a look behind her
Everything has changed

Chorus:
So why do we rush
To grow up
To pay the bills and stand alone
Can’t time just stop

Cause life won’t last forever
The pain won’t either too
So take a look around you
And enjoy the view

2nd Verse
Your 8th grade basketball game
Your first high school dance
The day you graduate

Your first day of college
The day you fall in love
Your first heart break
The day you got back up

We don’t seem to see
The years passing by
So freely

And by the time we do
We take a look around us
Everything is new

Chorus:
So why did we rush
To grow up
To pay the bills and stand alone
Can’t time just stop

Cause life won’t last forever
The pain won’t either too
So take a look around you
And enjoy…

Bridge
There will be good days
There will be bad
There will be laughter and tears
You’ll never get back

And one day you’ll have
A daughter of your own
You’ll teach her to laugh
You’ll teach her to grow

Last verse/chorus revised

And her first hero
Will be her father’s face
The first love she’ll know of
Will be of your grace

And her first nightmare
She’ll run to your room
She’ll snuggle beside you to escape the doom

You won’t want her to
Grow up
To pay the bills and stand alone
And you’ll want time to stop

Life won’t last forever
So cherish all you can
These moments are a treasure
So live life while you can
