Lyrics

THIS EARLY MONRING WE SAID GOOD-BYE
A LOADED SUITCASE BY HER SIDE
THERE WERE PLANES IN THE SKY
WITH A TEARFUL HUG AND GENTLE SIGH
SHE TURNED TO GO
NOW SHE'S ON HER OWN

CHORUS
SHE'S ON HER OWN, SHE'S ON HER OWN, (REPEAT) MY LIL' GIRL IS GROWN AND ON HER OWN

SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY
I'D BOUNCE HER ON MY KNEE AND PLAY
THOSE DAYS HAVE GONE AWAY '
CAUSE SHE'S ALL GROWN
SHE'S GETT'N ON A PLANE, AND ON HER OWN

CHORUS

BRIDGE
THERE COMES A TIME FOR LEAVING,
AND MAKING IT ON OUR OWN
NEVER STOP BELIV'N,
YOU'RE DADDIE'S GIRL
EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE GROWN

I GUESS IT'S TIME SHE'S ON HER WAY
BUT THERE'S SO MUCH MORE I WANTED TO SAY
I HAD TO DRIVE AWAY
IN JUST A WHILE SHE'LL BE GONE,
SO I PRAY TO GOD TO LEAD HER ON
