Sandcastles in the park
Scary monsters in the dark,
You grow so fast and go away
You used to love your teddy bear
But now you hardly know he's there
You grow so fast and go away
I used to hold you in my arms
And tell you things I wanted you to know
Now you only pull away and say
?Ma, I'm too big to play, besides, I've heard it all, you know?
And I sit back and watch you go
I recall, I once was told
If you love em, let em go
It doesn't make much sense to me
When they grow up say goodbye
And hope to God your first to die
And reminisce about the baby
And hope he'll remember me
Sandcastles in the park
Scary monsters in the dark
You grow so fast and go away
You used to love your teddy bear
And now you hardly know he's there
You grow so fast and go away
I guess it's gotta be that way
But why's it gotta be that way?
