Lisa I don't want to get up---to face the day--She's so quick to tell me I am wrong She and I are always here alone. She says why can't we go outside today? Because she really wants to play. I tell her that I love her so, But I must stay indoors today -- She says, but you don't have to be alone. Why can't we just have fun all day? I tell her that I'm tired--getting old-- She says, Daddy, you're not growing old --it's just that you're afraid they'll be too bold. She says Oh Daddy, come on out with me! I'll get the Jeep and we can ride. So I get up and watch her eyes as they look at me. So full of love and trust and pride-- This, my little girl, my joy, my life - She leads me out into the sun-- And then we really do have fun. She keeps me laughing, this child of mine. And I start to feeling really fine. She tells me, Listen...that's your name! Come on now Elvis, we have to do your thing - And when we walk down to the street- I know she's proud of me-her daddy- She says, it's you they want to meet! Now daddy, stand up straight, and don't forget - hold up your head. Remember you're the best and I'm here with you- This is better than staying in bed. They are my friends too- and I will help you talk and we can walk - Right to the gate-I'll show you-they really are our friends - And Daddy, try to stand up straight - or I will have to kick you shin.
