I learned to love |
|
I learned to give |
|
When I was little and all around me seemed to live |
|
I learned to swim in the sea |
|
To run across endless fields |
|
Time and space was so unreal |
|
You showed me a wonder in everything |
|
You were the calming voice that spoke the truth |
|
And I knew the day would turn to night |
|
Everytime you dimmed the light |
|
And the moon dimmed my mind |
|
Oh I was so proud of my new red-velvet gown |
|
I learned to sing, then I talked |
|
I sang all day all those songs |
|
I loved to fly on Sunday's clouds |
|
You picked me up after school |
|
Because the boys were so rude |
|
Until the day I hit back too |
|
Oh how I cried that day |
|
A pearl was hiding in my ear |
|
Remember I was scared |
|
Black panthers underneath my bed |
|
You showed me the wonders of every spring |
|
You were the calming voice that talked so wise |
|
And I knew the day was close at hand |
|
Everytime you dimmed the light |
|
And the moon dimmed my mind |
|
Oh then the day would turn to night |
