Dreamer

One day I'm gonna be Famous as anything You're gonna say you knew me when I was a little girl Sundress and pin up curls You've got a claim as my best friend From way back when Way back when She smiled and skipped away Down every street and lane Held endless possibilities We'd sit on her front porch Popsicles and summer shorts I'd beg her share your dreams with me She was a dreamer With wings on her back No telling where she'd go No way of knowing if she's coming back Every time the wind would blow She'd be gone before you know Into our high school days She'd always lead the way Adventure's just around the bend With no dreams of my own Happy just to be in tow We'd blaze trails long after roads end After they'd end I hoped and prayed each day I'd find a letter that would say I've finally flown, now it's my time And every night I'd bend On my knees for my best friend O God please give her strength to fly She was a dreamer With wings on her back No telling where she'd go No way of knowing if she's coming back Every time the wind would blow She'd be gone before you know Down at the corner store As you walk in the front door A caged bird sings like a door chime She'd always catch my gaze Such beauty in a cage It never made sense in my mind One night it rained all night I woke at dawn's first light Something in me whispered "She's gone" A smile stole my face To her house ran the whole way Found the note I'd hoped for for so long She was a dreamer With wings on her back No telling where she'd go No way of knowing if she's coming back She was a dreamer With wings on her back No telling where she'd go No way of knowing if she's coming back Every time the wind would blow She'd be gone before you know
