Someday

Every girl dreams
Of that special day
That walk down the isle
It seems so far away
When she was little
All you could say
Was how cute she was
On that one day
As she got older
She began to say
Can I hang with my friends
Later today
She started going to dances
And all you would say was
Be home by 11
Or you’re grounded the next day
The next thing you know
She’s grown up and gone
Off to college
For what seems so long
Then one day
You get a call
From your little girl
Who isn’t so small
She says met a nice guy
Just the other day
And you’re thinking
I don’t want to give her away
They fall in love
And you like him too
But you don’t know
What you should do
Then that day comes
Where dreams come true
For everyone
Yes, including you
