Teddy Bear And Yellow Dump Truck V2

Verse 1
Three little boys running as they play in the yard,
They are all growing fast, life keeps moving hard.
Two playing swords with the sticks they found,
Mom pushing the other in the swing laughing out loud
A story, a hug, a kiss goodnight,
Safe in my arms until morning light.

Chorus
Teddy bear and a yellow dump truck,
A choo-choo train and a little bit of luck.
I'll pick you up when you fall,
Be your biggest fan through it all.
Teach you compassion; teach you love,
I’ll stand beside you when life gets tough.
But don't grow in a hurry, don't get in a rush,
Teddy bear and yellow dump truck.

Verse 2
Things are moving along, but you're growing up too fast,
How do I slow things down? How do I make them last?
You still make the snowmen, but you’re not playing in the mud,
The fort we built is calling, but you're gone with your buds.
Your trail is getting steeper, but my boots will get you there,
Put them on and strap them tight and don’t forget your prayers

Chorus
Teddy bear and a yellow dump truck,
A choo-choo train and a little bit of luck.
I'll pick you up when you fall,
Be your biggest fan through it all.
Teach you compassion; teach you love,
I’ll stand beside you when life gets tough.
But don't grow in a hurry, don't get in a rush,
Teddy bear and yellow dump truck.

Verse 3
You learned to climb mountains, now teaching your little girls
Set out to discover their own little worlds.
Pink princess dresses and strawberry bows,
Butterfly whispers and faces that glow.
It wasn't that long ago, I was here too,
The greatest gift I had was raising you.

Bridge
When I look in the mirror now, I see gray in my hair
When I open your old bedroom door, nobody’s there
When I pick through their toy box, the tears start to run
They kept with them their Teddy Bears and yellow dump trucks

Final Chorus
Teddy bear and a yellow dump truck,
A choo-choo train and a little bit of luck.
I was the one that once held your hand,
Now it's you that must take command.
And someday your girls will look back and see,
The greatest treasure was family.
And someday when life's road gets rough,
Tell your girls about that, teddy bear and yellow dump truck.
