She's On Her Way Lyrics - Traveling Circus - Phil Vassar

He said, "Is this your first?" 

And I said "Yes, sir." 

I smiled and I said, "We just had a girl." 

He said, "Oh boy. Just like me, 

you're a fortunate one." 

He said, "Girl's, they're different 

and I ought to know. 

I've got three myself 

and they're all grown. 

You're in for the ride of your life. 

Just enjoy it, son. 

There's gonna be first words. 

There's gonna be first dates. 

You'll think she's perfect, 

but she'll make mistakes. 

So be there to listen 

and be there to talk. 

Learn to let go 

when it's her time to walk. 

And she's on her way. 

She's on her own. 

Just yesterday 

You were bringing her home. 

You'll watch her fall down 

You'll watch her grow up 

She'll meet somebody 

And she'll fall in love 

Hear what I say 

They'll come a day 

When she's on her way. 

Holding her hand 

You'll feel like a king 

It's hard to say no 

To your little queen 

The sweetest words 

You'll ever hear 

Are "I love you, Dad." 

Sometime's you're gonna wonder 

If you're getting it right 

But as long as you love her 

She'll be just fine. 

Smiles turn to tears 

And back to smiles 

At the drop of a hat. 

Her knees'll get skinned. 

Her heart'll get broke 

The years will go fast 

Some nights will go slow. 

Boy, honor her mother 

Whatever you do 

'Cause the worth of a man 

she'll take that from you. 

When she's on her way 

And she's on her way. 

She's on her own. 

Just yesterday 

You were bringing her home. 

You'll watch her fall down 

You'll watch her grow up 

She'll meet somebody 

And she'll fall in love 

Hear what I say 

They'll come a day 

When she's on her way. 

Off to school 

Down the drive 

Ponytail waves goodbye 

She's the light and the love of your life 

Then there's cars 

There's boys 

All made-up 

No more toys 

One day she's somebody's wife 

She's on her way. 

She's on her road. 

Just yesterday 

You were bringing her home. 

You'll watch her fall down 

You'll watch her grow up 

She'll meet somebody 

And she'll fall in love 

Hear what I say 

They'll come a day 

When she's on her way."
