What Do You Mean It Don’t ? Lyrics by Jon Langston
Tiny bare feet running down the hardwood hall
Yelling, “Daddy, come on! Let’s play!”
Mini-me and her mama standing three-feet tall
Wasn’t it just yesterday?
She was pink bow wrapped in a blanket
Now she’s in the rear-view car seat singing
I just thought it would move by slow
But what do you mean it don’t?
These days last forever
What do you mean she’ll grow?
And I’ve gotta sit back and let her
That hour glass sands gonna spill until my little girl ain’t so little no more
I thought time was gonna stand still so
What do you mean it don’t?
She casts that Minnie Mouse Zebco all on her own
When she use to need my help
Went from her first steps to tying her shoes
She can do it all by herself
Wish that clock could put its hands on hold
But what do you mean it don’t?
These days last forever
What do you mean she’ll grow?
And I’ve gotta sit back and let her
That hour glass sands gonna spill until my little girl ain’t so little no more
I thought time was gonna stand still so
What do you mean it don’t?
What do you mean it don’t?
I’ve watch training wheels turn to Goodyears turn to taking her away from home
Ain’t time supposed to stop at 4 years old
But what do you mean it don’t?
These days last forever
What do you mean she’ll grow?
And I’ve gotta sit back and let her
That hour glass sands gonna spill until my little girl ain’t so little no more
I thought time was gonna stand still so
What do you mean it don’t?
What do you mean it don’t?
