I can hear the crying child in my heart I can see the little girl in my mind And I love her I cherish her My papa told me I should know reality My mama told me I should live more cautiously They probably told me those things ’cause they care for me So I told myself, my dream is just a fantasy But hey I still want to hear the girl in my heart She is calling my name And hey I still love this little girl in my heart She’s full of dreams It’s a lonely world but there’s a place I go The greatest love I found is coming home to me And if I fall again, still I’ll live as I believe I promised little me, I’ll never make her cry I used to search for someone I could look up to As if a perfect chance would give me something new They said I’d never make it, be a grown-up, too Took me years, but I learned I’m finally breaking through So hey Let me be this little girl in my heart She is waiting for me And hey I still love this little girl in my heart She’s full of dreams It’s a lonely world, but there’s a place I go The greatest love I found is coming home to me And if I fall again, still I’ll live as I believe I promised little me, I’ll never make her cry So hey Let me be this little girl in my heart So hey Let me love this little girl in my heart So hey Let me be this little girl in my heart No one can hold her again So hey Let me love this little girl in my heart And let her flourish in this world
