Arms around his shoulder

Waving me goodbye

The time has come

She's leaving home

And I didn't realise

She's a woman now

And I don't know how

But inside I have my fears

She's growing older

And she's changed her hair

She's dressed up wild

But she's still my child

I won't let her slip away

On this lonely day

I don't know what to say

I am lonely without you

Should I cry should I sigh

It was always on my mind

Now I don't know what to do

Should I cry should I sigh

It was always on my mind

I'll be lonely without you

Hear the wistle blowing

Through the wind and rain

I was alone

And I couldn't cope

To see her go away

She's a woman now

And I don't know how

But inside I have my fears

Should I cry should I sigh

It was always on my mind

Now I don't know what to do

Should I cry should I sigh

It was always on my mind

I'll be lonely without you
