One she was a little child And I was A little child We were just little kids We used to play together But it wasn't long before We weren't little anymore I saw the little girl I knew Vanish Like the morning dew Frosted lips and ironed hair Chocolate chips And everywhere she goes She takes her shadow And a warm hello Mini-skirt A string of beads From here we'll shoot Some flower seeds And at her heels a puppy dog Content to be A tag-a-long Everybody used to say Somewhere along the way To me, "someday you'll marry her" To me, "you'll marry her someday" Now that day has come and gone All is right And nothing's wrong It seems just yesterday I heard someone When she was a little child As he was a little child They were just little kids They used to play together
