When I was just a little girl
so many years ago..
With my fantasies in tow ..
I would love to swing ..
I would swing so high ..
To the moon and stars
I would fly ...
The hills before me would wrap
me with their splendor ..
The fields of grass and orchards
Surround me so green and tender..
I would swing to take me far from harm..
Give me grace , filled me with joy, pleasure,
without alarm...
I would escape while flying high on that swing..
My heart was full, my spirit free,
Such simple happiness it would bring ..
To travel to the great beyond for me ..
Age has not taken the girl inside of me..
Every night, with my fantasies in tow..
I close my eyes and I am young and free..
It is off to the moon and stars I go ..
I shall never grow old as long as I can swing..
Memories and such happiness it shall always bring ..
