Little Girl
Toni Romiti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I Was A Little Girl
I Believed Everything
But Times Have Changed
Now My Mind Is Deranged
And Sometimes I Don't Know What To Think

You Got A Chance You Take It
You Got A Dream You Make It
No One Can Stop Me No
Cause Everything Happens For A Reason
And Life Is, Life Is What You Make It, It's What You Make it
When Times Get Rough Pick Your Head Up Never Give Up No
I Hope You Feel This
Cannot Tell Me You Don't Feel This Yeah

The Day You Left You Took A Part Of Me, Boy Your Still Apart Of Me
Not Day Goes By That I Don't Wonder Why
God Took You From My Family
Oh Daddy
Dad I Hope Your Watching Over Me
At First It Was So Hard To See
Boy, I Know Your Proud Of Me

You Got A Chance You Take It
You Got A Dream You Make It
No One Can Stop Me No
Cause Everything Happens For A Reason
And Life Is, Life Is What You Make It, It's What You Make it
When Times Get Rough Pick Your Head Up Never Give Up
I Hope You Feel This
You Cannot Tell Me You Don't Feel This Yeah

When I Was Younger
And Something Bad Would Happen To Me
My Dad Used To Always Tell Me
When Life Hands You Lemons, Make Lemonade
And At First I Didn't Understand What The Meant
Until Now, I'm Making My Own Lemonade
And Each Day, Each Hour, Life Gets A Little Sweeter

Cause Everything Happens For A Reason
And Life Is, Life Is What You Make It, It's What You Make it
When Times Get Rough Pick Your Head Up Never Give Up No




I Hope You Feel This
Cannot Tell Me You Don't Feel This
