If Only It Could Last Lyrics

She is running down the sidewalk;

With a little doll in her hand.

She is showing signs of falling;

Dirt on her face and her hands.

That don't stop her from smiling;

When she sees it is her dad.

Oh-oh-oh, if only it could last.

She can dance like a starlet;

With the grace of God in hand.

She is showing signs of promise;

Smile on her face says she can.

She is growing into something;

Brings a smile to her dad.

Oh-oh-oh, if only it could last.

If only it could last

Be a little girl, be a dad

If only it could last

A little girls' smile to her dad

Then one day he was searching;

Came across some cards in an old can.

Found one there made with crayons;

From his little girl to her dad.

He knows that day is coming;

When his little girl be a woman.

Oh-oh-oh, if only it could last.

If only it could last

Be a little girl, be a dad

If only it could last

A little girls' smile to her dad

If only it could last

Be a little girl, be a dad

If only it could last

A little girls' smile to her dad
