Hopechest Video (MV)

Her mama bought her a hopechest to keep her dreams inside
All the precious memories, little things she'd like to hide
A magic wand, an old rag doll, some plastic pearls cuz after all
A little girl is only a little girl, so long
And tender hearts need their stars to wish upon
Someday you will turn around, and she'll be gone
A little girl is only a little girl so long
One day when she got home from school she slipped a little note
Beneath the tattered lining, and here is what he wrote
Roses are red, violets are blue
Put an X in the box if you like me too
A little girl is only a little girl, so long
And tender hearts need their stars to wish upon
Someday you will turn around and she'll be gone
A little girl is only a little girl so long
They married in the garden on a perfect July day
And in a horse and carraige, the waved and drove away
Mama went inside to put away her wedding dress
And spotted a letter laying on the old hope chest
It said a little girl is only a little girl so long
And tender hearts need their stars to wish upon
Look inside once in awhile to bring the memories home
A little girl is only a little girl, and I will always be your little
girl
-so long
