She wore a white dress,
and a rainbow ribbon in her hair.
One candle burns on her birthday cake,
mom and dad are there.
Wishing they could be like her,
without a care.
She wore a pink dress,
to her school on the very first day.
Mom and dad drove her there,
and they cried as they drove away.
Tears for her but more tears for yesterday.
She wore a blue dress,
and rode her bike to the corner store.
Daddy said now he's leaving for good,
and he slammed the door.
No goodbyes, no more daddy, anymore.
Well as she grew up,
they grew apart.
It'll never be the same,
now they watched love go with a heavy heart.
And wonder who to blame.
It's not your fault that he went away,
he went walking out the door.
And its not your fault that he had to say,
he didn't love me anymore.
She wore a red dress,
and her mommas single strand of pearls.
Dressed and ready for the senior prom,
what a lovely girl.
And her momma said.
You're a woman now and its time I said,
a certain thing or two.
Have the time of your life and remember dear,
I'm so very proud of you.
*Music*
Oh its not your fault that he went away,
there was nothing you could do.
And please believe me when I say,
that there's nothing wrong with you.
She wore a white dress,
one candle burns as it did before.
Her baby smiles at the sand old man,
standing at the door.
And he said.
I don't know what i ever left here for.
Well I can't stay long but I want to say,
a certain thing or two.
Since I've been gone my worlds been gray,
the colors stayed with you.
And before he left,
he laid a gift.
On baby's little bed.
Inside they found a rainbow dress, of white, pink, blue and red.
Of white, pink, blue and red.
