Faith Hill - Someone Else's Dream

Her momma`s still got that sequin gown that she wore in `68
She taught her early how to smile that smile and wave from the parade
It took a whole lot of years and tears
For her momma to finally admit
No matter how many stitches and pins
That old dress was never gonna fit

She was daddy`s little girl
Momma`s little angel
Teacher`s pet, pageant queen
She said "All my life I`ve been pleasin` everyone but me,
Waking up in someone else`s dream"

Her daddy used to say, "You`ll make a lovely bride someday
He`ll ride up on big white horse and just carry you away"
It took twenty-five years and some broken vows
Before they`d finally see
There`s a little more to love and life
Then fairy tales and hand me down dreams

She was daddy`s little girl
Momma`s little angel
Teacher`s pet, pageant queen
She said "All my life I`ve been pleasin` everyone but me,
Waking up in someone else`s dream"

Now she`s got twenty-seven candles on her cake
And she means to make her life her own
Before there`s twenty-eight

She was daddy`s little girl
Momma`s little angel
Teacher`s pet, pageant queen
She said "All my life I`ve been pleasin` everyone but me,
Waking up in someone else`s dream"
