As She Dreams (Song To My Daughter)

Nine years old and nothing like her mama

Pink bows and toe ballet

And God knows if I could've just been honest

I would have had it your way

And she sleeps like a baby

In her twin-sized bed

As I cry like a lady

In my double king

Oh

I am the queen

But I'm living on a house of cards

And I wish I could be more like her

As she dreams of a land of Oz

And her future and where she's from

And her husband and all their sons

And her kingdom

As she dreams

I am the queen

She grows old and somehow she's her mama

And all her children are brave

And I know

If I could've just been honest

She would have had it my way

And she sleeps like a baby

In her twin-sized bed

As I cry like a lady

In my double king

Oh

I am the queen

But I'm living on a house of cards

And I wish I could be more like her

As she dreams of a land of Oz

And her future and where she's from

And her husband and all their sons

And her kingdom

As she dreams

I am the queen

But I'm living on a house of cards

And I wish I could be more like her

As she dreams of a land of Oz

And her future and where she's from

And her husband and all their sons

And her kingdom
