Lyrics
Mom:
Who knows where the time goes?
Up in the attic with the baby clothes maybe
Tucked away with the bottles and bows
Better kiss that baby goodbye.
Doesn't fit in her rocking chair
Jeans and tee shirts are all she will wear
And knit caps on her beautiful hair
Better kiss that baby goodbye
Both:
Kiss that baby, she's almost gone.
Kiss that baby, you can't hold on
Kiss that baby, now don't you cry
Just kiss that baby goodbye.
Daughter:
I don't think that this is fair.
She won't let me put purple dye in my hair
And you should see what she wants me to wear.
Mom, kiss that baby goodbye.
Both:
Kiss that baby, she's almost gone.
Kiss that baby, you can't hold on
Kiss that baby, now don't you cry
Just kiss that baby goodbye.
Mom:
Let me introduce you all to my girl
I had her so she could change
the world
Daughter:
Let me introduce you all to my mom
She had me just so I could sing this song.
Daughter:
Pretty soon I'll be a grown-up too
Mom:
but you'll still be my baby when you're 92
Both:
No matter what, I'll still love you.
But kiss that baby goodbye
Both:
Kiss that baby, she's almost gone.
Kiss that baby, you can't hold on
Kiss that baby, now don't you cry
Just kiss that baby goodbye.
