lyrics

We planned to sell the house this fall,
So I was touchin' up some walls,
I went to close her door and there they were.

I hadn't really noticed them since,
Well I've forgotten when,
The history of our one-time little girl.

Well I just stared and wondered, what happened to the time.
She's leaving us for college and now I come to find...these

18 lines along the edge of her bedroom door.
The first at 3' 7" , the last at 5'4".
In between our memories of after and before,
These 18 lines along the edge of her bedroom door.

This one in red's from '99,
We had a scare, but she came out fine,
Her fever must've lasted 11 days.

And here she hit a growin' spell,
7 lines from nine to 12,
I'm thankful Lord and here I count the ways.

It's funny how a little thing can make you want to cry,
But life is made of little things, and now I'm glad that I made these....

18 lines along the edge of her bedroom door.
The first at 3' 7" , the last at 5'4".
In between our memories of after and before,
These 18 lines along the edge of her bedroom door.

We thought that what we needed was a small and modern house
But I've found a reason for second thoughts right now....these

18 lines along the edge of her bedroom door.
The first at 3' 7" , the last at 5'4".
In between our memories of after and before,
These 18 lines along the edge of her bedroom door.
