lyrics

I wish I could hold you in my arms
And keep you safe from harm
Little girl
I wish I could take all of my memories
And place them in your heart
Little girl
Then maybe you
Wouldn't have to
Learn the hard way
Like I did, and she did and even her
Little girl

Don't let anyone make you feel
Like you can't be who you are
It takes too long to sort out later
Who you buried down so far
Go your own road
Even if it means you go alone
Souls of like fire
When you find them you will know you're home

I wish I could hold you in my arms
And keep you safe from harm
Little girl
I wish I could take all of my memories
And place them in your heart
Little girl
Then maybe you
Wouldn't have to
Learn the hard way
Like I did, and she did and even her
Little girl

Don't let anyone take your heart
And leave the pieces lying around
But if you don't let anyone take your heart
How can you feel your feet leave the ground
Tears of agony
For tears of ecstasy you pay the price
To spare you the hell
Would be to steal away your paradise

I wish I could hold you in my arms
And keep you safe from harm
Little girl
I wish I could take all of my memories
And place them in your heart
Little girl
Then maybe you
Wouldn't have to
Learn the hard way
Like I did, and she did and even her
Little girl

And I believe
That my mama's, mama's mama sang this song before
And certainly
My heart's not the first to be found
Lying on a cold, hard floor
But there's still a lot of beauty that's in store for you

I know I can't hold you in my arms
And keep you safe from harm
Little girl
I know I can't take all of my memories
And place them in your heart
Little girl
So darling, you're
Gonna have to
Learn the hard way
Like I did, and she did and even her
Little girl

Dawn Boudreau Vancouver, British Columbia

I used to think I was a jazz musician - but I must confess: I’m a folk musician who writes with a jazzy twist, sometimes with hints of musical theatre. Having achieved a comfortable state of middle-aged happiness, I love to share stories from the journey I traveled to get here. ... more
