The Special Years - Val Doonican

From pigtails to wedding veils\nFrom pinafores to lace\nAnd in between are the special years\nTime never can erase\nFrom play toys to college boys\nFrom little girl to wife\nAnd in between are the special years\nYou remember all of your life\nThe special years are filled\nWith sweet promises and pain\nBut love will never taste\nQuite so wonderful again\nSo slow up, don’t rush to grow up\nYou’ll be a woman before long\nSo stay awhile in the special years\nTheir magic will soon be gone\nJust stay awhile in the special years\nTheir magic — will soon be gone…
