She sits in her house all alone
Staring at this empty home
The baby's toys on the floor
Reminiscent of the door
That she walked out

And it's just a work in progress
But I know it can't be true
I wish I could regress
Back when I could hold you

Her bag on her shoulder
It's her first day of school
Mama kisses her goodbye
There's nothing more to do

As she walks out that front door
Already fourteen years
Where has all the time gone?
And she sheds a tear

Cause it's just a work in progress
But I know it can't be true
I wish I could regress
Back when I could hold you
And the time passes beyond us
It slowly fades away
But I can't let go of the thoughts
I miss yesterday

Only five years of age
Holding hands with her first friend
Now they're kissing in her bedroom
He's sliding off her dress

Now fifteen years have gone by
Her room is left alone
Her mother sits on the bed
Crying all alone

Cause it's just a work in progress
But I know it can't be true
I wish I could regress
Back when I could hold you
And the time passes beyond us
It slowly fades away
But I can't let go of the thoughts
I miss yesterday

She sits in her house all alone
Staring at this empty home
The baby's toys on the floor
Reminiscent of the door
That she walked out
