Only six years old, I already knew,
How my life would be, what I was gonna do,
Had it all worked out, I didn't see a reason why it wouldn't come about,
I dreamed, I hoped, believed,
And everything else in between,
There was nothing in this world stopping me.

Fast forward to my early teens,
I'd given up on the childhood dream,
Sick of trying to fit in at school,
Always being different and never being cool,
I dreamed, I hoped, believed,
And everything else in between,
That I could be six years old again.

When I was everything I wanted to be,
Nothing seemed to be out of reach,
Life was simple and time was on my side.

To the little girl who loved to twirl around the bedroom dancing,
Singing all the words into her hairbrush like the world was watching,
Never lose your spark,
Never lose your smile,
Keep shining bright just like a star,
You're perfect as you are.

Started working at the local store,
A good job, but wanted so much more,
Too big for a small town,
But not knowing how to break down all the doors,
I dreamed, I hoped, believed,
And everything else in between,
That things would change.

Didn't wanna meet mister right,
Didn't need another reason to end up tied,
Won't settle for settling down,
When there’s a whole wide world just waiting to be found,
I dreamed, I hoped, believed,
And everything else in between,
Needed to remember the time.

When I was everything I wanted to be,
Nothing seemed to be out of reach,
Life was simple and time was on my side.

To the little girl who loved to twirl around the bedroom dancing,
Singing all the words into her hairbrush like the world was watching,
Never lose your spark,
Never lose your smile,
Keep shining bright just like a star,
You're perfect as you are, You're perfect as you are.

You bring me coffee every morning while I lay in bed,
You read the paper, take a shower, it’s the same every day,
Never changes,
But I love our little ways.

I make you toast the way you like without the edges on,
You go to work but call me straight away 'cause you already miss home,
And our little world,
And all our little ways.

You,
Are the reason that I smile,
The good thing in my life,
You,
You may not ever see,
Just what you mean to me.

Wanna spend the rest of my life,
Holding your hand, stood by your side,
Wanna be the girl on your arm,
Your lucky charm, the reason you believe,
In happy endings, with your best friend,
Like a fairy tale.

Wanna be your first, wanna be your last,
Wanna be your everything,
Wanna see how life turns out,
The good the bad and all that’s in between,
Just wanna love you for the rest of my days,
Wanna share my life and all our little ways.

You stroke my hair when I lay over you and watch TV,
I rub your shoulders when you're stressed, I try to take your cares away,
We've got each other and all our little ways.

You,
Are the reason that I smile,
The good thing in my life,
You,
You may not ever see,
Just what you mean to me.

Wanna spend the rest of my life,
Holding your hand, stood by your side,
Wanna be the girl on your arm,
Your lucky charm, the reason you believe,
In happy endings, with your best friend,
Like a fairy tale.

Wanna be your first, wanna be your last,
Wanna be your everything,
Wanna see how life turns out,
The good the bad and all that’s in between,
Just wanna love you for the rest of my days,
Wanna share my life and all our little ways.

When it rains it pours,
And I feel like I've been drowning,
Since you've been gone.
I believed in love and happy endings,
But that ended when it all went wrong.

Now in the dead of the night,
The pain gets a little bit stronger,
I spend a little longer thinking about you,
And when the music plays,
It don't hit in the same way,
You took the soul from the song,
And the words right outta my mouth.

When the cold wind blows,
Without an arm to wrap around your shoulder,
It feels a little colder than it did before.
I wish I knew, if there was something I could do,
To stop my mind reminding me you're not here no more.

Now in the dead of the night,
The pain gets a little bit stronger,
I spend a little longer thinking about you,
And when the music plays,
It don't hit in the same way,
You took the soul from the song,
And the words right outta my mouth.

Golden was the bird I knew,
Sang a song so free then flew,
And they won't come back,
Can't come back.

Golden was the bird long gone,
Sang a little while, flew on,
And they won't come back,
Can't come back.

Yeah, I woke one morning, long time gone,
A magpie’d come to steal away my song,
Was up against the window yeah tapping on the pane,
But it couldn't get in, no, kept calling my name.

Golden was the bird,
And they won't come back.

Honey, times have changed,
We've both been trying,
But it’s time to move on.

The good times, they're not the same,
Maybe baby those good times,
Have been and gone?

In the good old days when life was easy,
We'd be making music all night long,
But honey, times have changed.

In the good old days when life was easy,
In the good old days when we were young,
Waking in the morning, bright ‘n breezy,
We'd be making sweet sweet music,
All night long.

Honey, times have changed.
