Rebecca Leigh Wilaby - Goodbye Little Girl lyrics

Here's a story about a little girl Growing up in her parents world Going through life, making the grade Quiet and shy, always afraid Growing up in a little nest Working hard, doing her best Happy and perfect, she would seem But, suddenly, she dared to dream Dreaming of life in the fast lane Where each loss is another's gain Dreaming of tomorrow, living for someday It was for a life of this that she ran away With her friends, she lived in a car Living on the edge, they knew they'd get far Suddenly, out in the real world She was no longer that scared little girl She learned the hard way to survive Doing what she must to stay alive Taking each struggle in rebellious stride And in herself, she finally took pride Years later, she returned to the nest And even though she tried her best She couldn't just forget about then Only to remember when... The days when she'd sit looking out Wondering what the world was all about For, she'd said goodbye to that little girl And said hello to the cruel world Well, happy and perfect she tried to seem Though remembering what it meant to dare to dream Forgetting what it was like to live free And wondering who I was, though she was me
