A bedeviled smile for an impish tease
Blue eyes looking so much like mine
Born of my lover, a daughter to please
And you'll be a woman, in time
You'll be a woman, in time

Stallion rampant, but a woman's heart
Constitution of leather and steel
My daughter, you're hardy and sturdy and smart
Yet you can't always do as you feel
Can't always do as you feel

And I was there when you first saw the world,
And all the wide world first saw you
Making your way, as the birthing unfurled
'Twas then we were no longer two
Then we were no longer two

Stallion rampant, but a woman's heart
Constitution of leather and steel
My daughter, you're hardy and sturdy and smart
Yet you can't always do as you feel
Can't always do as you feel
