hair of spun gold

Lyrics

when i was just the age of five, my world had just come alive, wondrous things to be seen and be done, all that i could think of was fun, with hair of spun gold, lips of ruby red, and eyes as deep as the deepest sea, and when i was just the age of ten, my life it did change again, i threw away all my childish toys, and worked on getting noticed by the boys, and when i was just thirteen years of age, going steady was all the rage, my momma picked me out the cutest boy, my little leather-jacketed toy, and hair of spun gold, turned to black as the night, lips of ruby red were turned to pale pink, and when i was fifteen years of age, he had my hand in marriage, and when fifteen years of age, in my arms i held my babe, and now i'm twenty-one, i feel my life's over and done, and i'm looking down on my little child, wondering if she'll be so wild, she's got hair of spun gold, lips of ruby red, and eyes as deep as the deepest sea, and i'm looking down on my child, i swear she'll have the time, there'll be time to love, there'll be time to learn, her childish memories she won't spurn, we'll find time to laugh, there'll be time to play, she won't have to throw her toys away, i swear to you, we'll wait for time to take its time
