I wish that I could be there with you now
Snuggled on the couch
Watching some TV
And planting kisses on your
Sweet little cheeks
Your tiny fingers pulling
On my heartstrings
But daddy's got some work to do
Places to go
And people to meet
So little girl I will be
Thinking about you
And there's a few things that
I hope you'll promise me
That you'll mind your momma
Kiss baby sister on the cheek
And hug your brother
Yes even if he's mean
There's just one more thing
I'll ask of you
And it's the biggest one indeed
Please don't grow up without me
Time slips by so quickly
You're growing like a weed
And learning new things every day
Becoming just a bit more of the
Woman you will be
Don't wanna miss a thing
So please just promise me
That you'll mind your momma
Kiss baby sister on the cheek
And hug your brother
Yes even if he's mean
There's just one more thing
I'll ask of you
And it's the biggest one indeed
Please don't grow up without me
Little girl I never could have dreamed
Just how precious you would be to me
And I don't wanna miss a thing
So please, please promise me
That you'll save a hug for me
And I might bring you something home
Just wait and see
Save an adventure just for me
Something we can do together
Please won't you promise me
That you'll mind your momma
Kiss baby sister on the cheek
And hug your brother
Yes even if he's mean
There's just one more thing
I'll ask of you
And it's the biggest one indeed
Please don't grow up without me
