This song is based possibly on Maggie looking into the future of her own daughter as well as lamenting about how time flies so fast in life.
[Verse 1]
A little girl in a party dress is holding my hand
Wondering what I did to deserve a pleasure so grand
As we twirl across the floor
I can't see anyone but her
Is there anything more perfect than dancing with my girl?
Young girl in her cowboy boots, with no training wheels
Looking like she just hung the moon, and that's how I feel
As we ride around the block
I can't see anyone but her
Is there anything to top riding with my girl?
[Chorus]
And the days are long, but the years fly by
And I see my life better through her eyes
[Verse 2]
Young woman waiting for a plane, heading off to school
Both know we were about to cry, but trying to act cool
Then we ride the wave and part
I can't see anyone but her
Is there anything as hard as weaning off my girl?
[Chorus]
And the days are long, but the years fly by
And I see my life reflected in her eyes
[Verse 3]
Grown woman in a wedding dress is holding my hand
Next thing you know, we're letting go like grains of sand
And she's dancing 'round the room
I can't see anyone but her
My eyes are on the groom, who's dancing with my girl
[Chorus]
And the days are long, but the years fly by
And I know just why I'm here, from her eyes
[Outro]
Little girl in a party dress is holding my hand
