Lyrics I'll Be Over You When The Grass Grows Over Me - Tammy Wynette

Where are you goin′ my little one, little one?
Where are you goin' my baby, my own?
Turn around and you′re tiny, turn around and you're grown
Turn around and you're a young wife with babes of your own
Turn around, turn around, turn around and you′re a young wife
With babes of your own
Dear daughters
Gwen, you′re my oldest
You're quite a lady
You′re my only blue eyed girl
And you turn sixteen in April
And you sure made a change in my world
I'm sorry I missed the big evenin′
Your first date, and I wasn't around
Save all the secret things you did
And tell me when I get to town
And on your graduation
I wanted pictures to look back on
But then, I wasn′t there to take them
As usual, I was gone
You've had to grow up much too quick
And you've done it on your own
You did it without Momma ′cause
Momma wasn′t home
And Jackie
You're quite a lady too
Just one year younger than Gwen
And there so much that I′m missin'
By being Mommy, only now and then
Now I remember the day you cooked your first meal
You were nine
You cooked biscuits and ham
And you called to say how good it was ′cause
I was out of town
And at the party for mothers and daughters, well
I know you felt out of place
And even the pretty dress I bought
Couldn't fill that empty space
And the time when you got sick
And the doctors turned you down
They said they couldn′t treat you
With your Momma out of town
And Tina
You're such a pretty girl with big almond eyes of brown
And they voted you homecoming queen when I was out of town
Now I know you were a beauty 'cause
Your sisters dressed you right
And you said it didn′t matter that
I was out of town that night
And the day that you joined the cheerleading team, boy!
Nothing could hold you down
You yelled "hip, hip, hooray" over the phone ′cause
I was out of town
And Tamala Georgette Jones, you simply take my breath away
Born just six short years ago, and-
Named for your daddy and me
Goin' to sleep on Meemo′s arm
Listenin' to her hum
Driftin′ off to fairyland while suckin' on your thumb
When it′s just yesterday, you pulled your tooth
Boy, you sure are brave and strong
I wish I could have been there
But as usual, I was gone
What a difference you've made in my life
What a difference you've made in my life
You′re my sunshine, day and night
Oh, what a difference you′ve made
In my life
And you light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song
It can't be wrong
When it feels so right
′Cause you
Yes, you
All of you
You light up my life
