about

This one I wrote for my nieces :).

lyrics

There's a pair of girls, shoes pink and white
Blues stay away, awhile I wanna see you
Smiling with your eyes, wide awake at night
Time bypassing, outside climbing
Apple tree picking, noses underwater
Singin bath-tub, soaking in the soap
Pajama opera song, alpaca's at the farm
Hands making faces, silly young ladies

Not a day, goes by, when I don't think of you.
Your goof-ball smiles, and your hugs and kisses too.
I'll be gone for awhile, cause I've got some things to do.
I'll be thinking-about-the-next time, that we'll be sittin' on the roof.

A pair of young ladies, boyfriends maybe
Making out, I don't want to think about...

You can take your time, finding out your life
Workin on that ranch, makin' ponies prance
Garden in the back, farming ain't so bad
Singin' in a band, travel across the land
Computer program, circus elephants
electrician, veterinarian
Go to school maybe, don't forget family
By your side two four seven three six five
Not a day, goes by, when I don't think of you.
Your goof-ball smiles, and your hugs and kisses too.
I'll be gone for awhile, cause I've got some things to do.
I'll be thinking-about-the-next time, that we'll be sittin' on the roof.

Not a day, goes by, when you don't, cross my mind.
Your heart-warming smiles, keep me feelin' like a child.
I'll be gone for awhile, still some things I got to do.
I'll be thinking-about-the-next time, that we'll be sittin' on the roof.

I'll be thinking-about-the-next-time-that-we'll-be-sitting-and-drinking-juice, on the roof.
