I remember very well, my daughter's little arms around my neck And how she told me not to go away, but if I did, when would I be back How she looked at me and said "I love you daddy, please why can't you stay" Meanwhile my heart flipped over in it's cage I had to push my blues away Hey little darling Please know that there's plenty of time Hey little darling Keep the boys and your makeup in line Stay little for a while I remember very well, all the promises I made and took away And all the times I wasn't there to Hold you close to me when you were afraid And now it's 3 o'clock in the morning and it's me who lies awake Hey little darling Please know that there's plenty of time Hey little darling Keep the boys and your makeup in line And stay little for a while Hey little darling Please know that there's plenty of time Hey little darling Keep the boys and your makeup in line Stay little for a while
