SOMETIMES
I THINK ABOUT YOU
WONDER IF
YOU'RE OUT THERE
SOMEWHERE
THINKIN' 'BOUT ME
AND WOULD YOU EVEN
RECOGNIZE
THE WOMAN
THAT YOUR LITTLE GIRL
HAS GROWN UP TO BE
'CAUSE I LOOK IN
THE MIRROR
AND ALL I SEE
ARE YOUR BROWN EYES
LOOKIN' BACK AT ME
THEY'RE THE ONLY THING
YOU EVER GAVE TO ME
AT ALL
OH I HEAR
THE WEATHER'S NICE
IN CALIFORNIA
THERE'RE SUNNY SKIES
AS FAR
AS I CAN SEE
IF YOU EVER
COME BACK HOME
TO CAROLINA
I WONDER
WHAT YOU'D SAY TO ME
I THINK ABOUT
HOW IT AIN'T FAIR
THAT YOU WEREN'T
THERE TO BRAID
MY HAIR
LIKE MOTHERS DO
YOU WEREN'T AROUND
TO CHEER ME ON
HELP ME DRESS
FOR MY HIGH SCHOOL
PROM
LIKE MOTHERS DO
DID YOU THINK THAT I
DIDN'T NEED YOU HERE
TO HOLD MY HAND
TO DRY MY TEARS
DID YOU EVEN MISS ME
THROUGH THE YEARS
AT ALL
OH I HEAR
THE WEATHER'S NICE
IN CALIFORNIA
THERE'RE SUNNY SKIES
AS FAR
AS I CAN SEE
IF YOU EVER
COME BACK HOME
TO CAROLINA
I WONDER
WHAT YOU'D SAY TO ME
FORGIVENESS
IS SUCH A SIMPLE WORD
BUT IT'S SO HARD TO DO
WHEN YOU'VE BEEN HURT
OH I HEAR
THE WEATHER'S NICE
IN CALIFORNIA
AND JUST IN CASE
YOU'RE WONDERIN'
ABOUT ME
FROM NOW ON
I WON'T BE IN CAROLINA
YOUR LITTLE GIRL IS OFF
YOUR LITTLE GIRL IS OFF
YOUR LITTLE GIRL
HAS GONE
TO TENNESSEE
