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[00:00:23]

Like sleeping beauty a little girl is [00:00:26]

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

I never know how old[00:00:32]

You＇ll be when you wake[00:00:33]

One evening you crawl on your dad＇s lap[00:00:35]

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

The next morning you might be[00:00:40]

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

You＇re so quickly approachin＇[00:00:46]

My awkward age[00:00:48]

Too young to drive a car and[00:00:50]

Yet too old to be carried[00:00:51]

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

I have a secret that I＇ve never[00:00:58]

Told you Sleeping Beauty [00:01:00]

You＇re going on a very exciting trip[00:01:03]

You＇ll travel from yesterday[00:01:07]

All the way to tomorrow[00:01:09]

It＇s a rapid journey and you＇ll travel light[00:01:11]

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

Freckles bumps bubblegum and me [00:01:17]

I promise not to feel too hurt when you discover[00:01:23]

That the world is more importan[00:01:26]

Than your daddy＇s lap[00:01:28]

Yesterday you were blue-jeaned and pig-tailed[00:01:33]

The neighborhood＇s best tree-climber [00:01:35]

Tomorrow you＇ll be blue-organdie[00:01:38]

And ponny-tailed[00:01:40]

And you＇ll view the world from a loftier[00:01:42]

Perch a pair of high-heel shoes[00:01:44]

Yesterday you could mend[00:01:49]

A doll＇s broken leg with a hug[00:01:50]

Tomorrow you＇ll be able to[00:01:55]

Break a young man＇s heart with a kiss [00:01:56]

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

One aisle away from me in a supermarket[00:02:03]

Now I have to worry about losin＇ you[00:02:07]

Down another aisle to some strange young man[00:02:08]

You see just at the point[00:02:13]

Where your growing pains stop mine begin [00:02:15]

Yesterday you were kind of a pain in the neck[00:02:19]

When you were around[00:02:22]

Tomorrow you＇ll be an ache in my heart[00:02:25]

When you＇re not[00:02:27]

Tomorrow you＇ll lay aside your jumprope[00:02:29]

And tie up the telephone lines[00:02:31]

And that little boy that used to push you in the mud [00:02:33]

Well he＇ll fight to set out a dance with you[00:02:36]

The clock upstairs is countin＇ the minutes for you[00:02:41]

And the sky upstairs is savin＇ its brightest stars[00:02:45]

And the sun is waitin＇ with its shinest day[00:02:50]

Oh I can＇t expect you to live in a dollhouse forever [00:02:56]

Sooner or later the butterfly sheds its cocoon[00:03:01]

And the smallest bird must try its wings[00:03:05]

But when you grow up and out of my arms[00:03:10]

When you finally get too big for my shirts [00:03:12]

I＇ll still recall how you used to scatter dust and dolls[00:03:16]

And partially through every room in the house[00:03:20]

But you spread sunshine too[00:03:24]

The dust is settled your mom picked up the dolls[00:03:28]

But the sunshine will always fill the corners of our hearts [00:03:33]

So here I am talkin＇ in your sleep[00:03:40]

Because well if you saw this look[00:03:46]

On my face you＇d laugh[00:03:49]

And if I spoke with this lump in my throat I＇d cry[00:03:52]

Yeah honey when I looked at you tonight[00:04:00]

You were a Sleeping Beauty [00:04:02]

So I tiptoed over and I kissed you[00:04:05]

You didn＇t wake up I knew you wouldn＇t[00:04:09]

According to the legend[00:04:12]

Only the handsome young prince can open your eyes[00:04:14]

And I＇m just the father of a future bride [00:04:17]

So you sleep on pretty thing[00:04:22]

Tomorrow you＇ll awake and you＇ll be a young lady[00:04:25]

And you won＇t even realize[00:04:28]

That you＇ve changed courses in the middle of a dream [00:04:29]

But you might notice this little change in me[00:04:34]

I look a little different somehow a little sadder[00:04:38]

A little wiser but a whole lot richer[00:04:43]

Tonight I kissed a princess and I feel like a king[00:04:50]
