"Barbie Bandaids" lyrics - THE ISAACS

Play dough, rainbows and paper wings
I remember all of your favourite things
Like tea time with Pooh Bear and Charlie Brown
Barbie bandaids and princess gowns
And here I am trying to hold the hands of time
They're moving so fast that I'm falling behind

And I know that you're ready to take a step
But I'm not ready for that yet
All I see is my little girl in tears and curls
Watching you grow before my eyes
Letting you go one Barbie band-aid at a time

Bedtime stories and Little Bo Peep
Saying prayers for the little lost sheep
Mama's lipstick and skinned up knees
Secret crushes and diaries
Your first date and your first goodnight kiss
And I can't believe we're already to this

And I know that you're ready to take a step
But I'm not ready for that yet
All I see is my little girl in heels and pearls
Watching you grow before my eyes
Letting you go
One Barbie band-aid at a time

Something borrowed, something blue
Oh, but couldn't we have just a minute or two?
An hour or two, a year or two
I know that you're ready, it's really time
To watch you spread your wings and fly
Heavens knows I'm so proud of you
But it hurts me too

Seeing you grown before my eyes
Letting you go
One Barbie bandaids at a time
