Here I am like a stranger
in the house I grew up in
And learned right from wrong
in if I did
Where the sun never shined
enough on daddies
growin' older
And mothers never
died in but she did
And I remember feelin'
guilty 'cause I couldn't
wait to leave here
Though I loved 'em every
way that I knew how
So I packed up all
my yesterdays and
headed for tomorrow
It's almost tomorrow now
And daddy's little girl is home
but where's the little girl gone
She bundled up her dirty jeans
and teenie bopper magazines
In search of what
her life was all about
With a little rag doll
named Charlie Brown
And an ol' suitcase
full of hand me downs
And a loneliness
she knew so much about
Now the dreams that I
trusted and all the
playthings have rusted
But here I am
a woman somehow
And all those growin' pains
of yesterdays are gonna
Get me through tomorrow
'Cause it's almost
tomorrow now
And daddy's little girl is home
but where's the little girl gone
She bundled up her dirty jeans
and teenie bopper magazines
In search of what
her life was all about
With a little rag doll
named Charlie Brown
And an ol' suitcase
full of hand me downs
And a loneliness
she knew so much about
Oh but I can still
remember when I used
to gaze out this window
Wonderin' who I was and
what I would become
And it just took a little while
for me to get my head together
Growin' up's the hardest
thing I've ever done
