The Great American Napkin
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was a little girl
Alone in my little world
Who dreamed of the little home for me
I played pretend between the trees
And fed my houseguests bark and leaves
And laughed in my pretty bed of green
I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest swing
I had a dream
Long walks in the dark
Through woods grown behind the park
I asked God who I'm supposed to be
The star smiled down on me
God answered inside tremory
I said a prayer and fell asleep
I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest tree
I had a dream
Now I'm old and feeling grey
I don't know what's left to say
About this life I'm willing to leave
I lived it full and I lived it well
As many tales I lived to tell
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
To fly
From the highest wing
I had a dream
