Letra de Someone Else's Dream

[Verso 1]
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

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

[Verso 2]
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

[Coro]

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

[Coro]
