No Work On Monday - Last Steps

The bells get impatient
They're yelling for us
Let's keep them waiting for a bit
I know you want to go
But my dear, don't you rush
Oh I need more time
Lock all the doors
Let these walls be our fortress
I won't let him steal my girl
Let's escape through the window
And get on a plane
Start all over in a foreign land
I taught you to walk
Now you walk away
I raised you to grow up
But does that have to be today?
Take my hand!
Hold my thumb like you used to
Take my hand!
Let me walk these last steps beside you
He claims that he loves you
And it's true after all
But I am the one who loved you first
Say did he catch your fall
From that pink bicycle?
Did he read you tales?
Your doll kitchen sink's
Filled with lipstick and ink
Oh why did I let you grow so fast?!
Now hug me like you did
When you split up with the neighbour kid!
Be my little girl one very last time!
I taught you to walk
Now you walk away
I knew this day would come
But does it have to be today?
Take my hand!
Hold my thumb like you used to
Take my hand!
Let me walk these last steps beside you
Take my hand!
Hold my thumb like you used to
Take my hand!
Let me walk these last steps beside you
It' time - now I feel
Your skin on my hand
You hold tight to me
And I understand
That a son is a son until he finds a wife
But a daughter's a daughter
All her life
Take my hand!
Hold my thumb like you used to
Take my hand!
Let me walk these first steps beside you
Take my hand!
Hold my thumb like you used to
Take my hand!
Let me walk these first steps beside you
