Lyrics
Dream House
Hillary Chapman and Elise Forier
Copyright, 2008
She'll have a big front yard filled with flowers / And clouds of colored butterflies all around her
There'll be secret caves and enchanted isles / A blue sky ceiling, where she pretends to fly
Under painted blue clouds, she'll go off to dream / Stars and her teddy bear will watch her sleep
Chorus:
She's building her dream house / One prayer at a time,
She's dreamin' about / Startin' her perfect life
She wants to play/ to laugh out loud / Forget about today / and just imagine how
Great it's gonna be / living in her dream house
The kitchen always smells like baking bread / Her daddy says he loves her as he strokes her head
She can hear her mama singing in a room upstairs / As she swings out the door into the summer air
Wishing on a milkweed wisp to bless her home / She grabs it, and holds it, and then she lets it go
Bridge:
She cries away the day inside her trailer home / Thinkin' about how daddy left them all alone
Momma's passed out again from pills and tears / There's nothin' here
But the grey sun's beams / And a little girl's dreams
