[00:18.31]Her momma's still got that sequin gown that she wore in '68
[00:25.83]She taught her early how to smile that smile and wave from the parade
[00:30.96]
[00:33.77]It took a whole lot of years and tears
[00:36.54]
[00:37.04]For her momma to finally admit
[00:39.73]
[00:41.54]No matter how many stitches and pins
[00:44.42]
[00:45.94]That old dress was never gonna fit

[00:50.33]She was daddy's little girl
[00:52.80]Momma's little angel
[00:55.21]Teacher's pet, pageant queen
[00:58.34]She said "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me,
[01:06.14]wakin' up in someone else's dream"
[01:11.35]
[01:19.27]Her daddy used to say, "You'll make a lovely bride someday
[01:24.84]
[01:26.53]He'll ride up on big white horse and just carry you away"
[01:31.99]
[01:33.42]It took twenty-five years and some broken vows
[01:37.68]Before they'd finally see
[01:40.12]
[01:42.18]There's a little more to love and life
[01:45.03]
[01:46.21]Then fairy tales and hand me down dreams

[02:13.24]
[02:20.22]Now she's got twenty-seven candles on her cake
[02:25.17]
[02:26.56]And she means to make her life her own
[02:29.89]
[02:30.58]Before there's twenty-eight
[02:33.53]
[02:35.97]She was daddy's little girl
