Strawberry Kisses and Chocolate Milk
Bare feet on gravel
She looks up smiling
Blows us her kisses
And twirls, hair flying
Hands dipped in orange
Marks on white walls
Builds castles in dirt
Still laughing when she falls
(chorus)
Don’t grow up to soon now
Save your strawberry kisses for me
Santa Clause is real
Don’t let people tell you not to believe
I’ve still got your chocolate milk
Don’t run to far away
Don’t forget to drink it
And remember at bedtime to pray
Face streaked with grass stains
Wide-eyed, toothlette grin
Gems of half seashells
He hides in a tin
Hot mugs of cocoa
Bedtime tales in the night
Madeup lullabies
Grits his teeth to hug you tight
(chorus)
Don’t grow up to soon now
Save your strawberry kisses for me
Santa Clause is real
Don’t let people tell you not to believe
I’ve still got your chocolate milk
Don’t run to far away
Don’t forget to drink it
And remember at bedtime to pray
Small feet in high heels
Nails, French-manicured
Hair tied in ribbon
Eyes, tinted with hurt
Face clean and shaven
Cufflinks shining new
Thumbs hooked in belt hoops
A heart, that is still bruised.
