Lula Belle Morning

Verse 1

Fourteen

New boots

Checking the hallway mirror

Straightening out my Sunday dress

Lula Belle has got the table set

Sugar

Syrup

Sticky fingers on the glass

Coffee steam and birthday laughs

Chorus

Now you are growing up so fast

Fourteen years have finally come

Fourteen years have finally come

Watching the clock on the wall

Wait for the sun to fall

Wait for the sun to fall

Verse 2

Sundown

Daddy pulls the truck around

Parked right there on the gravel

Johnny's waiting by the porch swing

He brought a yellow rose

Quiet

Tall

Nervous hands in his pockets

I keep my picture in his locket

Daddy stares him down

But he lets him take the chair

Then he says a little prayer

Chorus

Now you are growing up so fast

Fourteen years have finally come

Fourteen years have finally come

Watching the clock on the wall

Wait for the sun to fall

Wait for the sun to fall

Bridge

Isabella

Sweet Isabella

You got your mama’s smile

You got your mama’s grace

You got your mama’s laugh

The table is full tonight

Candles burning low and bright

Chorus

Now you are growing up so fast

Fourteen years have finally come

Fourteen years have finally come

Watching the clock on the wall

Wait for the sun to fall

Wait for the sun to fall

Outro

Fourteen

Just fourteen

Lula Belle

To the dinner bell

Isabella

My girl

Sweet girl
