Little girl playthings, stuffed toys and dolls, little girl pictures hung on the walls, now they're just mem'ries gathering dust * Remember the time when they meant so much * Then she starts talking to boys on the phone * Where has the little girl gone? It's the miracle part of the overall plan * Girl becomes woman and boy becomes man * Then they fall in love and have kids of their own * That's where the children have gone * Old model trains and old fishing poles * Little league trophies and Lord only knows * Now in the closet, beginning to rust * Remember the time when they meant so much * Then he's off doing things on his own, * Where has the little boy gone? * It's the miracle part of the overall plan * Girl becomes woman and boy becomes man * Then they fall in love and have kids of their own * That's where the children have gone
