Lisa Brokop: Every Little Girl's Dream

(Dave Loggins/Kenny Mimms)

I remember when I was a little girl,
Growin' up livin' in my own little world,
Or so it seemed;
I had my dolls and dreams.
Momma was always there,
To comfort me an' give me love.
An' there wasn't nothin' quite like it,
In the world that I knew of.
Before I knew it, I was standin' in my teens.
Sweet little boy with his strong young arms holdin' me.

I remember the first time I felt his kiss,
Ooh, it like to drove me crazy.
And I remember sayin': "I never felt nothin' like this."
So I went and asked momma:
"Can you tell me what it means?"
She said: "You're in love and that's every little girl's dream.
"Baby, what you found is every little girl's dream."

So I said: "Momma, does love ever last?"
She said: "Worry about now and let,
"The future come to pass.
"Just understand and enjoy what you've found.
"And listen to it as long as your heart,
"Hears the sound of love.
"There ain't nothin' quite like it,
"In the world anybody knows of."
So there I was, all through my teens,
Same little boy with his strong young arms lovin' me.

I remember the first time I felt his kiss,
Ooh, it like to drove me crazy.
And I remember sayin': "I never felt nothin' like this."
An' I remember sayin' to momma:
"I know just what you mean.
"I'm in love and that's every little girl's dream.
"What I found is every little girl's dream."

And I found mine, and momma said:
"Me too, baby, once upon a time.
"It lifts you up, it lets you down.
"There'll be another dream to bring you back around.
"There's somethin' about the first time that keeps you rememberin',
"When you found every little girl's dream."

Every little girl's dream.

Found every little girl's dream.
(I remember the first time I felt his kiss.)

I found every little girl's dream.
(I remember sayin': "Nothin' ever felt like this.")

I found every little girl's dream.
(I found someone and I fell in love.)

I found every little girl's dream.
(Nothin' in the world quite like it anybody knows of.)

I found every little girl's dream.
(I remember the first time I felt his kiss.)
