Someone Told Me

As a child I used to lose myself
In thoughts of what could be
High hopes of love and happiness
Were what I had for me

They were a touch above the average
I never dreamed of anything less
Than the perfect kind of love
I wanted nothing but the best

In my girl mind there was no other way around it
I was determined to keep looking 'til I found it

Someone told me girlhood dreams
Were little more than fantasy
Someone told me not to hope they would come true
I wish that someone was here now
They'd change their mind if they could see
How I'm living all my dreams right now with you

Though someone told me that reality can't give me what I choose
The girl in me would not let her dreams subside
Now I'm thankful for that child who so stubbornly refused
To lose the thought that one day you'd be by my side

I've got the life that I once dreamed of
And the love that I'd hoped for
The kind of happiness I feel now
Is what girlhood dreams are for

In my girl mind there was no other way around it
I was determined to keep looking 'til I found it
