words and music by Vic Michener and Rick Paul

From the Lyric Creek Music single She’s Got Her Heart

I catch my breath when I kiss her
And I catch that soft sweet smell
Chanel Number Five with a whisper
Of Clearasil

I hold her close, so tightly
She blushes, says “Don’t be dumb”
And she runs with the boy and calls lightly
“Don’t wait up, Mom”

As I say goodnight
My chest goes tight
And I feel the years well up
When her laughter flares
On the April air
I have to will my tears to stop

Rocking chairs and teddy bears
And long-lost lullabies
When did we start to grow so far apart?
Everybody tells me
That she’s got her mama’s eyes
But no one knows how much she’s got her heart

Now I can’t even hold her
She says I treat her like a kid
And in her eyes I must look as old
As my mama did

When I was sweet sixteen
And he was everything
We were running wild and free
And each step I took
Without a backward look
Seemed to be a victory

Rocking chairs and teddy bears
And long-lost lullabies
How did we ever grow so far apart?
Everybody told me
That I had my mama’s eyes
And now I know how much I had her heart

Has my little girl already flown?
How can I love her
And leave her alone?

Rocking chairs and teddy bears
And long-lost lullabies
When did we start to grow so far apart?
Now, everybody tells me
That she’s got her mama’s eyes
But no one knows how much she’s got her heart
Oh, no one knows
How much she’s got her heart
