Not ready for you to grow up!

I guess that I can hold you
 

 
one more time before you grow
 

 
and tell you that I love you
 

 
so that you will always know.
 

 
Please let me tie your shoe again.
 

 
One day you'll tie your own.
 

 
And when you think back to this time
 

 
I hope it's love I've shown.
 

 
Can I help you put your coat on?
 

 
Can I please cut up your meat?
 

 
Can I pull you in the wagon?
 

 
Can I pick you out a treat?
 

 
One day you might just care for me,
 

 
so let me care for you.
 

 
I want to be a part
 

 
of every little thing you do.
 

 
Tonight could I please wash your hair?
 

 
Can I put toys in the bath?
 

 
Can I help you count your small ten toes
 

 
before I teach you math?
 

 
Before you join a baseball team
 

 
can I pitch you one more ball?
 

 
And one more time can I stand near
 

 
to make sure you don't fall?
 

 
Let's take another space-ship ride
 

 
Up to the Planet Zoor.
 

 
Before our Cardboard Rocket
 

 
doesn't fit us anymore.
 

 
Please let me help you up the hill.
 

 
while you're still too small to climb.
 

 
And let me read you stories
 

 
while you're young and have the time.
 

 
I know the day will come
 

 
when you will do these things alone.
 

 
Will you recall the shoulder rides
 

 
and all the balls we've thrown?
 

 
I want you to grow stronger
 

 
than your Dad could ever be.
 

 
And when you find success
 

 
there will be no soul more proud than me.
 

 
So will you let me carry you?
 

 
One day you'll walk alone.
 

 
I cannot bear to miss one day
 

 
from now until you've grown.
