Elephant Ears

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:

She was 9 years old, goin' on grown

Shuffled around from home to home

And no matter what, wherever she went

She carried with her a stuffed elephantAnd her new family knew she was afraid to say I love you

'Cause she thought she'd have to move away again someday

So she clutched her little friend as they tucked her in and then

Said it'll be okay, all you have to say isElephant ears

That'll be our code

When you can't say I love you

But you want someone to knowSometimes it's what you see and not just what you hear

So all you have to say is elephant earsBut they loved that girl like she was their child

A sad little face became a big smile

And years passed by while they turned to grey

She took care of them 'til they passed awayAnd in their home sweet home she wondered all alone

Where memories lined the halls from wall to wall

And in their old bedroom her elephant heirloom

Was sittin' on the shelf and she said to herselfElephant ears

That'll be our code

When you can't say I love you

But you want someone to knowSometimes it's what you see and not just what you hear

So all you have to say is elephant earsShe stared at the photograph reminiscing all the years

Then catches her reflection and her eyes fill up with tears

Oh, she cried until she laughed when she realized instead

That her lips were forming the words I love you

When she saidElephant ears

That'll be our code

When you can't say I love you

But you want someone to knowSometimes it's what you see and not just what you hear

So all you have to say is elephant ears

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
