SHE’S GONNA BE GONE c.m siegel 2012
I’ve been thinkin’ for days just what I’m gonna say
When the moment comes to say goodbye
Tho it won’t be forever
I can allready feel the tears in my eyes
I guess we’ll just have to take it
She’s not a little girl anymore
She’s a couple steps shy of being a woman
And those steps will take her right out the door.
She’s gonna be gone, She’s gonna be gone...
There’ll be an empty room, way too soon
And not so much laundry to do..
She’s gonna be gone, she’s gonna be gone
She’s dreamin’ about havin’ her own
She’s gonna be gone.
We’ll be dyin’ to complain about her getting home late
And wonderin’ why she didn’t phone
Tell her to clean her room, do the dishes soon
And don’t forget to feed your dog
As it was in the beginning,
When she was just a gleam in our eye
We’ll have all of our time for each other
But will our empty nest feel like a home?
?Chorus
Chlidren seem to know, that for them to grow
To find out what growin’ up means
Knowing that it’s time to leave.
