Same Girl - Twila Paris

Picture with me if you can

A little girl in a younger land

Running, playing, laughing

Growing stronger

Now the aging limbs have failed

And the rosy cheeks are paled

Look behind the lines till you remember

She’s still the same girl

Flying down the hill

She’s still the same girl

Memories vivid still

Listen to her story

And her eyes will glow

She’s still the same girl

And she needs you so

Picture with me if you will

A long white dress and a wedding veil

Two young dreamers pledge their love together

Now her lifelong friend is gone

And she spends her days alone

Look behind the lines till you remember

She’s still the same girl

Walking down the aisle

She’s still the same girl

With the shining smile

Listen to her story

And her eyes will glow

She’s still the same girl

Same girl

She’s still the same girl

Wiser for the years

She’s still the same girl

Stronger for the tears

Listen to her story

And your heart will glow

She’s still the same girl

And we need her so

She’s still the same girl

And she needs you so
