I was a little girl Alone in my little world Who dreamt of a little home for me I played pretend between the trees, and fed my houseguests bark and leaves And laughed in my pretty bed of green I had a dream That I could fly from the highest swing I had a dream Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park, I asked God who I'm supposed to be The stars smiled down on me, God answered in silent reverie. I said a prayer and fell asleep I had a dream That I could fly from the highest tree I had a dream Now I'm old and feeling grey. I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave I lived it full and I lived it well, there's many tales I've lived to tell. I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing I had a dream
