Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Itll Come Back

It'll Come Back

It'll Come Back
(Glen Martin)

On our little girls' third birthday
She got a sandbox in the backyard to play
Sand was everywhere as she played and she laughed
I fussed at her for it killed all my grass.

cho: It'll come back ...
     It'll come back ...
     Daddy dont be mad
     God and the rain will bring it back.

When our little girl just turned ten
She got a bike to ride with all her friends
She skinned both her knees as she played and she laughed
I fussed at her for it killed all my grass.

When our little girl turned seventeen
We built her a pool in the backyard that spring
All her friends came and they swam and they splashed
I fussed at her for it killed all my grass.

My wife and I sit on the porch all alone
As I look out across at my beautiful lawn
The house is quiet there's no children at play
And I said to my wife

[Spoken:] Honey, if you'll listen real close
You can still hear her say."

REFRAIN: (2X)
It'll come back (It'll come back)
It'll come back (It'll come back)
Daddy don't be mad
God and the rain will bring it back.
