“I’ll always remember the song they were playin’,
The first time we danced and I knew,
As we swayed to the music and held to each other,
I fell in love with you.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we’re together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
I’ll always remember that magic moment,
When I held you close to me.
‘Cause we moved together, I knew forever,
You’re all I’ll ever need
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we’re together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life“…”Could I Have This Dance” by Anne Murray

“It seems like only yesterday when I heard my little girl say
“Daddy, there’s a boy ouside, his name is Rod
He wants to play in our backyard
Can he daddy? Can he daddy? Oh please daddy”
Is it really so long ago she’d come to me and she’d wanna know
“Dad, there’s a boy outside, his name is Lee
He wants to carry my books for me
Can he daddy? Is it alright, dad? He’s got freckles, dad”
The men in my little girl’s life
The men in my little girl’s life
Then came pony tails and jeans and my little girl was in her teens
“Popsie, there’s a boy outside, his name is Tom
He wants to take me to the prom
OK, popsie? He’s cute, popsie. We’ll be home early, popsie”
Before I knew it time had flown and how my little girl had grown
Now it was “Father, there’s a boy outside, his name is Eddie
He wants to know if we can go steady
Can we, father? Yes, father. Oh, can we borrow the car, pop?”
Yes it seems only yesterday I heard my lovely daughter say
“Dad, there’s a boy outside, his name is Jim
He asked me if I’d marry him. I said yes, dad
Got something in your eye, dad? I love him, dad”
The men in my little girl’s life
The men in my little girl’s life
A child, an adolescent, a young lady, a wife
And, oh yes, there’s another man in my little girl’s life
“Hi dad, there’s a boy outside, his name is Tim
I told him Grandpa was gonna babysit him
Thanks, dad. Bless you, dad. Good night, dad”
The men in my little girl’s life
The men in my little girl’s life“…“The Men in My Little Girl’s Life” by Mike Douglas
