With your grown up garb and your page bobbed hair You're looking like a woman, and it scares me To think of how the years are slipping away I'll sing you a song to commemorate the day You began to look like a woman to me Out of the child it is plain to see All the things that you might possibly fear In a future not far, from the now and here You are the battle I almost fought You are the poem I almost wrote Your are the war I've almost won Now you're a song I've almost sung When you're young the world is a fine old place Protectors' arms and friendly faces Kill the dragons, shoo the gremlins away And slave to give you a better day But the time is coming, thick and fast When you will stand alone at last And the dragons will bang on your own back door And the gremlins will come back, drooling for more You are the battle I almost fought You are the poem I almost wrote Your are the war I've almost won Now you're a song I've almost sung So don't you come to me with a band upon your finger Complaining I never warned you of this Beware of the monsters and gremlins and dragons Hidden behind a young man's kiss But for now you're a vision of beauty and faith In all things wonderful and safe And I kick myself for thinking this way Surely tomorrow hides a better day? 'Cause you're young, you're strong, you're an open page Not wrestling dragons of a bygone age And you fight with your mouth and not with your fists And you'll not be fooled, by a young man's kiss You are the battle I almost fought You are the poem I almost wrote Your are the war I've almost won Now you're a song I've almost sung You are the battle I almost fought You are the poem I almost wrote Your are the war I've almost won Now you're a song I've almost sung I've almost sung I've almost sung
