Every Time She Waves Good-bye

lyrics by Kevin L. Seaman • music by Gene Roberson

I remember a day the church bell rang,
Daddy's little girl wore a dress with a flower.
A Sunday school lesson and songs about God,
I’d pick her up in an hour.

I remember a day the school bell rang,
Daddy's little girl was all dressed in blue.
A sack lunch, a backpack and shiny new shoes,
I knew she’d be home by 2.

(chorus)
Whether young or old, short or tall,
Daddy's little girl she’ll always be.
She’s in my heart and she’s on my mind,
Even when she’s far away from me.

But Daddy's little girl isn't little anymore,
She's spreading her wings to fly.
She can see my smile, but not my tears
Every time she waves good-bye.

•

I remember a day the doorbell rang,
Daddy's little girl was all dressed in green.
A boy friend, a curfew, a dab of perfume,
She better be home by 10:15.

I'll remember this day as wedding bells ring,
Daddy's little girl is all dressed in white.
Something old, something new,
Something borrowed and blue,
She won’t be coming home tonight.

(chorus)
Whether young or old, short or tall,
Daddy's little girl she’ll always be.
She’s in my heart and she’s on my mind,
Even when she’s far away from me.

But Daddy's little girl isn't little anymore,
She's spreading her wings to fly.
She can see my smile, but not my tears
Every time she waves good-bye.
