To a Sleeping Beauty - Jimmy Dean[00:00:00]

Dear daughter I tiptoed to your room tonight[00:00:10]

And I looked down at you smiling in your sleep[00:00:15]

You were so lovely my heart nearly broke[00:00:20]

And I thought how very much like sleeping beauty a little girl is[00:00:24]

When I tuck you in at night[00:00:31]

I never know how old you'll be when you wake[00:00:33]

One evening you crawl on your dad's lap[00:00:36]

And throw your arms around his neck[00:00:38]

The next morning you might be[00:00:41]

Much too grownup for that sort of thing[00:00:42]

You're so quickly approachin' my awkward age[00:00:47]

Too young to drive a car and yet too old to be carried[00:00:50]

Into the house half asleep on daddy's shoulder[00:00:53]

I have a secret that I've never told you Sleeping Beauty[00:00:59]

You're going on a very exciting trip[00:01:04]

You'll travel from yesterday all the way to tomorrow[00:01:07]

It's a rapid journey and you'll travel light[00:01:12]

Leavin' behind your measles mumps[00:01:15]

Freckles bumps bubblegum and me[00:01:18]

I promise not to feel too hurt when you discover[00:01:24]

That the world is more important than your daddy's lap[00:01:27]

Yesterday you were blue-jeaned and pig-tailed[00:01:34]

The neighborhood's best tree-climber[00:01:36]

Tomorrow you'll be blue-organdie and pony-tailed[00:01:39]

And you'll view the world from a loftier perch a pair of high-heel shoes[00:01:43]

Yesterday you could mend a doll's broken leg with a hug[00:01:50]

Tomorrow you'll be able to break a young man's heart with a kiss[00:01:56]

Ha ha yesterday you could get lost[00:02:01]

One aisle away from me in a supermarket[00:02:04]

Now I have to worry about losin' you[00:02:08]

Down another aisle to some strange young man[00:02:10]

You see just at the point where your growing pains stop mine begin[00:02:14]

Yesterday you were kind of a pain in the neck when you were around[00:02:21]

Tomorrow you'll be an ache in my heart when you're not[00:02:27]

Tomorrow you'll lay aside your jump rope and tie up the telephone lines[00:02:31]

And that little boy that used to push you in the mud[00:02:35]

Well he'll fight to set out a dance with you[00:02:38]

The clock upstairs is countin' the minutes for you[00:02:42]

And the sky upstairs is savin' it's brightest stars[00:02:47]

And the sun is waitin' with it's shiniest day[00:02:52]

Oh I can't expect you to live in a dollhouse forever[00:02:58]

Sooner or later the butterfly sheds it's cocoon[00:03:03]

And the smallest bird must try it's wings[00:03:06]

But when you grow up and out of my arms[00:03:11]

When you finally get too big for my shirts[00:03:14]

I'll still recall how you used to scatter dust and dolls[00:03:18]

And partially through every room in the house[00:03:22]

But you spread sunshine too[00:03:26]

The dust is settled your mom picked up the dolls[00:03:30]

But the sunshine will always fill the corners of our hearts[00:03:35]

So here I am talkin' in your sleep[00:03:42]

Because well if you saw this look on my face you'd laugh[00:03:49]

And if I spoke with this lump in my throat I'd cry[00:03:55]

Yeah honey when I looked at you tonight you were a Sleeping Beauty[00:04:02]

So I tiptoed over and I kissed you[00:04:08]

You didn't wake up I knew you wouldn't[00:04:11]

According to the legend[00:04:15]

Only the handsome young prince can open your eyes[00:04:16]

And I'm just the father of a future bride[00:04:20]

So you sleep on pretty thing[00:04:25]

Tomorrow you'll awake and you'll be a young lady[00:04:27]

And you won't even realize[00:04:31]

That you've changed courses in the middle of a dream[00:04:32]

But you might notice this little change in me[00:04:37]

I look a little different somehow a little sadder[00:04:41]

A little wiser but a whole lot richer[00:04:46]

Tonight I kissed a princess and I feel like a king[00:04:53]
