《To a Sleeping Beauty》歌词

[00:00:00] To a Sleeping Beauty - Jimmy Dean

[00:00:10] Dear daughter I tiptoed to your room tonight

[00:00:15] And I looked down at you smiling in your sleep

[00:00:20] You were so lovely my heart nearly broke

[00:00:23] And I thought how very much

[00:00:26] Like sleeping beauty a little girl is

[00:00:31] When I tuck you in at night

[00:00:32] I never know how old

[00:00:33] You＇ll be when you wake

[00:00:35] One evening you crawl on your dad＇s lap

[00:00:38] And throw your arms around his neck

[00:00:40] The next morning you might be

[00:00:42] Much too grownup for that sort of thing

[00:00:46] You＇re so quickly approachin＇

[00:00:48] My awkward age

[00:00:50] Too young to drive a car and

[00:00:51] Yet too old to be carried

[00:00:53] Into the house half asleep on daddy＇s shoulder

[00:00:58] I have a secret that I＇ve never

[00:01:00] Told you Sleeping Beauty

[00:01:03] You＇re going on a very exciting trip

[00:01:07] You＇ll travel from yesterday

[00:01:09] All the way to tomorrow

[00:01:11] It＇s a rapid journey and you＇ll travel light

[00:01:15] Leavin＇ behind your measles mumps

[00:01:17] Freckles bumps bubblegum and me

[00:01:23] I promise not to feel too hurt when you discover

[00:01:26] That the world is more importan

[00:01:28] Than your daddy＇s lap

[00:01:33] Yesterday you were blue-jeaned and pig-tailed

[00:01:35] The neighborhood＇s best tree-climber

[00:01:38] Tomorrow you＇ll be blue-organdie

[00:01:40] And ponny-tailed

[00:01:42] And you＇ll view the world from a loftier

[00:01:44] Perch a pair of high-heel shoes

[00:01:49] Yesterday you could mend

[00:01:50] A doll＇s broken leg with a hug

[00:01:55] Tomorrow you＇ll be able to

[00:01:56] Break a young man＇s heart with a kiss

[00:02:00] Ha ha yesterday you could get lost

[00:02:03] One aisle away from me in a supermarket

[00:02:07] Now I have to worry about losin＇ you

[00:02:08] Down another aisle to some strange young man

[00:02:13] You see just at the point

[00:02:15] Where your growing pains stop mine begin

[00:02:19] Yesterday you were kind of a pain in the neck

[00:02:22] When you were around

[00:02:25] Tomorrow you＇ll be an ache in my heart

[00:02:27] When you＇re not

[00:02:29] Tomorrow you＇ll lay aside your jumprope

[00:02:31] And tie up the telephone lines

[00:02:33] And that little boy that used to push you in the mud

[00:02:36] Well he＇ll fight to set out a dance with you

[00:02:41] The clock upstairs is countin＇ the minutes for you

[00:02:45] And the sky upstairs is savin＇ its brightest stars

[00:02:50] And the sun is waitin＇ with its shinest day

[00:02:56] Oh I can＇t expect you to live in a dollhouse forever

[00:03:01] Sooner or later the butterfly sheds its cocoon

[00:03:05] And the smallest bird must try its wings

[00:03:10] But when you grow up and out of my arms

[00:03:12] When you finally get too big for my shirts

[00:03:16] I＇ll still recall how you used to scatter dust and dolls

[00:03:20] And partially through every room in the house

[00:03:24] But you spread sunshine too

[00:03:28] The dust is settled your mom picked up the dolls

[00:03:33] But the sunshine will always fill the corners of our hearts

[00:03:40] So here I am talkin＇ in your sleep

[00:03:46] Because well if you saw this look

[00:03:49] On my face you＇d laugh

[00:03:52] And if I spoke with this lump in my throat I＇d cry

[00:04:00] Yeah honey when I looked at you tonight

[00:04:02] You were a Sleeping Beauty

[00:04:05] So I tiptoed over and I kissed you

[00:04:09] You didn＇t wake up I knew you wouldn＇t

[00:04:12] According to the legend

[00:04:14] Only the handsome young prince can open your eyes

[00:04:17] And I＇m just the father of a future bride

[00:04:22] So you sleep on pretty thing

[00:04:25] Tomorrow you＇ll awake and you＇ll be a young lady

[00:04:28] And you won＇t even realize

[00:04:29] That you＇ve changed courses in the middle of a dream

[00:04:34] But you might notice this little change in me

[00:04:38] I look a little different somehow a little sadder

[00:04:43] A little wiser but a whole lot richer

[00:04:50] Tonight I kissed a princess and I feel like a king
