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<br>
In a horse and carriage they waved and rode away<br>
Mama went inside to put away her wedding dress<br>
And spotted a letter lying on the old hopechest<br>

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
