delaney talks to statues
Singer:buffett, jimmy
as she dances 'round the pool
she chases cats through roman ruins
and stomps on big toadstools
she speaks a language all her own
but she knows i love her so
when i tuck her 'neath the covers
delaney draws me pictures
she finger paints the sand
we chase the dogs and hop like frogs
then i do my bad handstand
she's growing up too fast for me
and asking lots of questions
some i know the answers to
and some i'm looking for suggestions
and some of the things i've seen
maybe she won't have to see
but there's a lot i want to pass along
that was handed down to me
as she dances 'round the pool
she chases cats through roman ruins
and stomps on big toadstools
she speaks a language all her own
just a little like her mother
and she knows i love her so
when i tuck her 'neath the covers
