One and the Same

[Verse 1]
There's something 'bout the way she skips across the room pretending
She's the little girl she was yesterday
And I'm tempted for a fleeting minute just to take her little hand
Run outside with her so we can play
But then she comes and sits beside me, gently puts her arms around me
And whispers my name
And I'm so richly blessed because my little girl and woman
Are one and the samе

[Verse 2]
She's still "little girl" enough that еvery now and then, she'll blush
Over some small something that I say
Then she lights the room by smiling and I know she's realizing
Big girls aren't supposed to blush that way
And life's worth more than only living 'cause the love's my woman's giving
Is more than a little girl's game
And I love both of her because my little girl and woman
Are one and the same

[Bridge]
To find a woman with her childlike faith
Has been more than worth the waiting
If everyone could love the way she loves
We couldn't find the time for hating

[Verse 3]
And I'm so glad she didn't find somewhere along the line
Growing up means more than getting old
And she just never did discover, sometimes people hurt each other
'cause growing up, people sometimes grow so cold
And when the years come to an end, I know I'll find once again
That time has not let her change
And I still love both of her, my little girl and woman
Are one and the same
