Look Ahead Little Girl Songtext
von Jimmy Durante

This is for you little CeCe, and all the other little girls

As you lie there in your crib, you peacefully ignore
The world that is awaiting you
And all that is in store

Look ahead, little girl, look ahead
Life is waiting until you crawl out of bed
There′s a bicycle, the alphabet
There's Santa Clause, a painting set
And your first date is yet for you to know


Look ahead little girl, look ahead
There are oh so many books that must be read
There are rainy days, vacation lands
The senior prom, and college bands
And one great love to set your heart aglow

An anniversary or ten
A nursery and then
Who knows what′s written in the stars
You'll raise a family
And just you wait and see
Perhaps someday you'll weekend trip to mars

Look ahead little girl, look ahead
You have given your grandson his first red sweater
There′s a smile beneath your wrinkled brow
Your heart is full, but look here now
I better stop and straighten your bedspread
While you′re sleeping, it's so hard to look ahead

Look ahead, look ahead


While you′re sleeping, it's so hard to look ahead
