Letra de The hopechest song

(angela kaset)
Her mama bought her a hopechest
to keep her dreams inside
all the precious memories
little things she'd like to hide
a magic wand, an old rag doll
some plastic pearls 'cause after all
A little girl is only a little girl so long
and tender hearts need their stars to wish upon
'cause one day you will turn around and she'll be gone
a little girl is only a little girl so long
One day when she got home from school
she slipped a little note
beneath the tattered lining
and here is what he wrote
"roses are red, violets are blue"
"put an x in the box if you like me too"
A little girl is only a little girl so long
and tender hearts need their stars to wish upon
'cause one day you will turn around and she'll be gone
a little girl is only a little girl so long
They married in the garden on a perfect july day
in a horse and carriage they waved and rode away
mama went inside to put away her wedding dress
and spotted a letter lying on the old hopechest
It said...
a little girl is only a little girl so long
your lonely heart might need a star to wish upon
so look inside once in a while to bring the memories home
a little girl is only a little girl
and i will always be your little girl...
so long
