The Belle Song

I BRIEFLY TURNED MY HEAD
& SAW A LADY IN WAITING
WHERE DADDYS LITTLE GIRL
ONCE STOOD
SHE IS N0W A BEAUTIFULY
BRIGHT YOUNG WOMAN,
JUST LIKE I HOPED
I KNEW THAT SHE WOULD
TIME HAD TURNED THE PAGE
& WE BOTH HAD GROWN IN AGE
NOW I KNOW
I CAN SAFELY SET HER FREE
BUT THOSE TIMES
THEY MEAN
JUST OH SO MUCH TO ME
AND FATHER TIME
CAN’T ERASE MY MEMORY

I HOPE FOR JUST ONE DAY
SHE WOULD COME BACK AND PLAY
MAYBE FISHING IN THE PARK
OR SWINGING UNTIL DARK
PRECIOUS TIMES
WE CAN’T WE CAN’T TAKE BACK
BUT WE CAN RECYCLE THAT
FADED MEMORIES
ARE LIFE LEFT IN ME

TIME HAD TURNED THE PAGE
& WE BOTH HAD GROWN IN AGE
NOW I KNOW
I CAN SAFELY SET HER FREE
BUT THOSE TIMES THEY MEAN
JUST OH SO MUCH TO ME
AND FATHER TIME
CAN’T ERASE MY MEMORY

SOME DAY SOME MAN
MAY CHANGE HER NAME
BUT I HOPE SHE FEEL THE SAME
ALL THE MEMORIES FROM MY PAST
TIMES OF OLD
WILL ALWAYS LAST
MOVING FORWARD LET’S RECALL
HAPPY TIMES
MOST OF ALL
FOR SHE IS HEAVEN SENT
A GIFT NO DOUBT TO MAN
WITH A LOVE FOR HER DADDY
THAT’S ME

TIME HAD TURNED THE PAGE
AND WE BOTH
HAD GROWN IN AGE
NOW I KNOW
I CAN SAFELY SET HER FREE
BUT THOSE TIMES THEY MEAN
JUST OH SO MUCH TO ME
AND FATHER TIME
CAN’T ERASE MY MEMORY
