Somebody Else's Dream-Sarah Vaughan

Her momma's still got that sequin gown that she wore in '68 She taught her early how to smile that smile and wave from the parade It took a whole lot of years and tears For her momma to finally admit No matter how many stitches and pins That old dress was never gonna fit She was daddy's little girl Momma's little angel Teacher's pet pageant queen She said All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me Waking up in someone else's dream Her daddy used to say You'll make a lovely bride someday He'll ride up on big white horse and just carry you away It took twenty-five years and some broken vows Before they'd finally see There's a little more to love and life Then fairy tales and hand me down dreams She was daddy's little girl Momma's little angel Teacher's pet pageant queen She said All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me Waking up in someone else's dream Now she's got twenty-seven candles on her cake And she means to make her life her own Before there's twenty-eight She was daddy's little girl Momma's little angel Teacher's pet pageant queen She said All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me Waking up in someone else's dream
