(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 In a horse and carriage they waved and rode away Mama went inside to put away her wedding dress And spotted a letter lying on 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
