Girl On My Shoulder Lyrics

It's a strange thing to realize

that he would have made a nice one to hold

When we're old and wrinkly

Its a nice thing to think about

How I knew he was always worth my time

Though we tried but it didn't work out

When I was younger I knew myself

And knew what I deserved

When I was younger I trusted myself

To act on what I observe

Now that I'm older

I could use a little of that girl on my shoulder

It's a joyful thing to know he found

The love that he deserved

He's not cursed by my uncertainty

It's a wonder to see him hold a babe

See the lovelight in his eyes

As he cries as he used to do

When I was younger I knew myself

And knew what I deserved

When I was younger I trusted myself

To act on what I observe

Now that I'm older

I could use a little of that girl on my shoulder
