Once a girl but a doll for me
Sat at the apple tree
In a frock, with little shoes
And pigtails
All happy and full of gleeI got her up, I get her down
In my hands, I spin her 'round
Melody of her giggles
Filled the groundNow i sit in my chair
Smiling at the memories
A lone tear escape my eyes
As a frown i disguise
"Now i have grown up" her words i recall
But what is the need to develop a wall?
"Yes i know" still i said
But it is something i can't acceptOnce i meant the world to her
Now I have lost all the worth
I used to be her hero
And partner in every crime
But now, for me she have no spare timeO come back, O come back my dear
It's a father's plea
Before his last days also flee
