The Day I Let Glory Steer Lyrics - Singles - Nerissa & Katryna Nields

She's too old for the playground 

She's too young for the graveyard 

She's too wise for me to tell her I've got plans 

She loves my CD collection 

She's always on to the next one 

I point to the map and she always understands 

Beautiful, my little glory 

You'll always be my baby girl 

I don't want to hear your story 

I can't bear to know your world 

I call her up on the cell phone 

More and more she is not home 

She's out with her friends 

And she wouldn't talk to me if she could 

She sees me as an old man now 

She's finding all her own bands now 

And the sign on the door 

To her room says closed for Good 

Beautiful, my little glory 

You'll always be my baby girl 

I don't want to hear your story 

I can't bear to know your world 

I'm heading out off the front steps 

Didn't think she would wake yet 

But her voice says 

Daddy, do you think you could give me a ride? 

We plumb familiar city 

The club is new but it's gritty 

She takes my arm 

And I let her lead me inside 

A voice that's lovely and different 

The music carries her intent 

I feel her hand on my elbow and I let her steer 

I catch her profile in side view 

She turns and says, "I can see you 

And I always knew there'd be a road back to here" 

Beautiful, my little glory 

You'll always be my baby girl 

Won't you let me hear your story 

Beautiful, my little glory 

You'll always be my baby girl 

I am following your story 

I am leaving you the world
