To keep her dreams inside

All the precious memories

Little things she'd like to hide

A magie wand, an old rag doll

Some plastic pearls, cause after all



Chorus:

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"



Chorus:

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 lyin gon 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
